Hey guys, I have a semi urgent questions. I recently installed my BC Racing BR coilovers (not the extreme drop kit) and the fronts seem to go pretty low but the rears just sit in the air :,(. I read on one thread that someone "shortened" the rear shock, by that did they mean trimming down the bottom of the threaded adjuster? I would really appreciate the help!

Are your rear shocks adjustable?

Yes the rear shocks are adjusted all the way down the but the adjuster has bottomed out on the bottom of the shock yet there is around like 2.5" of threads exposed so I feel like if I trim the adjuster down safely without cutting into the actual shock body I could get the rear lower.

Looking to get some coilovers for my HHR. I've got about $800 to spend. I see the Megan ez street series but I saw some pics here and I'm not sure if its going to get me low enough. Any other options in the $800-900 range?

BCs are like 1k, I'd get those if you can swing the extra cash.

if you're going to go megan's at least get the street series (more expensive ones), but i'd still say to go BC for a little extra cash

I'm running them on a HHR. I know of one guy running the bcs and he didn't get low enough in the rear. I like the look of the ksports on the cobalt. Just nothing to go by on for the HHR.

Another guy from the group buy sc4door put them in and took out a ring in the rears if i remember correctly and it sits as low as the front. Hope he doesn't mind me taking his photo from the GB thread.
