I'm starting to like this deal, got my directors chair and megaphone.As of now I have the week of 1/11/10 set aside for this project. Unfortunately, my lift is outside, so weather may play in.BTW, if you need or want, you can use my lift to install your springs Moon.

I'm still snickering,The "Cough Cough" went a different place! Sure, anytime, why did I think you had one? You would really enjoy what it takes to access it ( 7 1/2 cars) and most of them just don't like to be in the weather.Hey Allex, move on out, I hear there's a couple houses for sale.

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.
Pete Basica, founder of Pedders US is a very good guy and has always been extremely helpful to many of us in the GTO community, whether we were using his parts or not. Mike at DMS is just plain obsessed. I look forward to seeing how your project turns out.

Just to add a quick footnote, Mike indicated that they got their HHR to pull .97 g's on a 200' skidpad. So, at least, I'll have a benchmark to work with.

Yeah, the video for that was posted on here somewhere.

EDIT: heres the vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKy8MHOuWw4
And a pic, nice looking too. This is now my ideal spring set.


EDIT #2: It looks like that may be the pedders HHR with the full coilover setup installed, can anyone verify that?

It is our HHR SS with Pedders Xa coilovers and a GM Stage II Turbo kit installed.
