Shagy on Goldlines and Truckshop.com Drilled/Slotted Rotors
the Goldlines Gen 3 are low. i am going to have to cut to the bowtie on the front mudflaps cause they are dragging on bumps. ride is a lil stiffer, more sporty, cornering is amazing, not alot of lean. first time you sit in it, the view is really low. Brian will kick in on this i am sure to put in his comments. braking on the rotors is great and really made a differnce in stopping. we both love them and they are just awesome looking on the HHR. we started w the fronts first and started around 9:30 am and finished at 2:30 pm with a 30 min break at lunch. that included new rotors which just literally pull off w no effort after u take out 2 bolts on the back. the rotors are awesome and look great w the silver calipers on the HHR. we measured from the ground and it is 26 inches in front and 26.25 inch in the back. it literally makes Brians leveled HHR look like a AWD version cause it is 1.5 inches higher. the impact wrench would not get the top nut off the strut so we went to a Meineike and met Torey the shop manager or store manager and not sure. right down the street and asked him if they could break off the top nut and he said, we have a Strut Tamer and i can take off the springs and replace both in just a short time. i asked how much and he said $35. he told us to take off the spring compressor and bring it all back, we did. they stopped 2 jobs and put them on this thing and in 10 mintes both were off and new springs on. amazing and well worth it so there is an option to making this alot easier and it knocked off probably 3 hours off our time and alot of work. here is a link to all the pics,,, many of them and here are a few. http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j313/cjkrause/Goldline%20Springs%20on%20Shagy/
