ive heard they balance the back out and drop it like an inch and the front about .75in

my car seems to sit lower than most lt's. even tho they share the same suspension

does anyone think they willl do anything at all for the height?

 

Another ?, does the 09-10 2lts have the fe3 suspension?
I read that the HHR 2lt's have the fe3 suspension

 

Look in your trunk where it lists the option codes, it'll tell ya. Pretty sure you don't have FE3. Don't bother with LSJ springs unless you're getting them for free, or next to nothing. Just get lowering springs. There's a couple to choose from.

 

I got em for 40+ shipping

 

What exactly am I looking for? A certain number?

 

You have the FE1 suspension, it just looks lower because the new LT's have the old 2.4 Sport ground effects, the older LT's did not.

It'll drop you a big, your numbers sound about right but I couldn't tell you for sure.

 

You're looking for the code FE1, but as alleycat said (and I checked) you do have the base suspension. For $40, go ahead and throw those LSJ springs on... you'll still be a bit high but will notice the improved handling.

 

Like was said if your tag says FE1 then go ahead. If it says FE3 then dont bother as FE3s share some parts with FE5's.

 

anyone know if i will need an alignment after the ss/sc springs are installed?

 

You shouldnt. Its not much of a drop. I didnt need an alignment after I put my eibach pro kits on (they dont drop the car much)

 

Great .I hope not

 

got the springs in today too bad the car is in the shop for a small wreck

 

cool am glad u got em nice and safe man!

 

yep. thanks now i just need the car

 

just updating an old thread. this is for anyone with the same car wondering how the drop compares. this is beside a 2.4/ ss/na. looks more level with a .5 inch rake. and lower

 

that does make a nice difference! looks good, i can see the new look with the painted wheels

 

Thanks lol for the springs too.
I went back to the painted spokes. The all black plastidip was just too dull. One day I'll spray paint over with a gloss black just hope it's easy to peel off after
