I was just on Pedders Suspension site, and I see they have springs for the HHR. Has anyone put them on a SS? And if so, what the drop would be.
Not intersted in changing out the struts, just the spings, for a little lower ride.

At least one other person has done it: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...t=25712&page=2

Pics on that page.

 

after checking the pics. on that link, thats the springs I'm going with. Since my 09 SS is Black also, that is just the look I was looking for. Tks. for steering me in the right direction. Pedders it is! "Moon"

 

STOP!!!! i would NOT recommend these springs. i have them and are stuck with them. the front drops nice,but the rear not so much. they are very noisey also.

 

how long have you had them?

 

I'm going on about 3 month over 8,000 miles on mine so far with no problems at all and rides great and they are not noisey also my dropped was pretty nice in the rear for 1"

 

These are on my list, but I need to finish up about 6 other projects before I jump on this. I had a conversation with one of the Engineers at Pedders, Aus. He was able to answer specific technical questions about preload, compression and rebound rates through the usable range (springs are progressive), etc. Oh, and he was pleasant to talk with. All in all, a positive vendor experience so far.

 

I too have had many informative conversations with the fellows at Pedders and in fact Mike White lives close by.Him and I are going to install the complete suspension system on my heap probably mid Jan or when they finish building the castor plates. Aside from lowering, one of our goals is eliminate the conflict between the front and rear roll centers and settle some of the "Torque steer" issues. All though they've sold their "House" HHR I feel the knowledge they obtained with it clearly gave them edge to build one of the best systems available.One of our intents is to document the install with photo's and text which I will share with you and him to print an install guide and manual.

 

Sounds like you're talking about Pedders, USA. The guy I spoke with was in Australia. However... since I'm coastside just south of San Fran, I'm thinking Dublin, CA may be closer than Australia... maybe we should have an installation party ;-)

I'm gonna just do springs[Pedders]. "Moon"
