Installing ZZP Coilovers on a Chevy HHR/Cobalt

[@ZZPerformanceChannel]

HHR SS OWNERS: You will need to replace your stock sway bar end links if you install these coilovers. The stock 11 inch end links are too long and cannot attach to our delta chassis coilovers.

I just bought a 2002 Grand Prix gtp that has parts from you guys

[@georgedoughton9508]

Thanks for the information. I had planned on doing a install this Saturday.

[@rodneyroach6067]

About to order coil overs have a 09 cobalt ss.Will the moog sway bars fit or do i need the adjustables?

[@nickkompinski3390]

Installing these on an lnf cobalt. Will the links work or should I get adjustable ones? I just ordered the standard kit… thank you. Great video

[@courtbouchard444]

Wow where was this video 4 years ago.. thanks this answered a lot of questions for me that I had to learn by Trial and error. great video!

[@christopherloewen1433]

This is gonna be a game changer with those rear shocks.

[@Frncstzn]

Dang, this was a great install video. Really got me itching to upgrade my HHR

[@fullthrottlegaming1112]

So happy you guys made this video! I plan on picking these bad boys up for my Balt this summer. Wonderful job once again ZZP and Tyler!

[@bloodpoolyt]

support the hubs with rope / bungee / wire hanger dont let it hang with the brake line / tie rods / axles. also clean off alot of mud and dirt hit up a car wash and spray your old stuff down before removing or once you remove your old stuff wash / wipe off as much sand / dirt / crud as possible. love DIY build install videos.

[@gbrunner24]

Good tips! We ran the car through the carwash before hand, but it didn't do much obviously hah.

[@bloodpoolyt]

@@gbrunner24 yeah that stuff cakes on so hard you almost have to chisel it off, even brake cleaner doesn't get it off. It's just a good practice less stuff raining on your face if you lying down, cleaner install, easier to get bolts started, easier to slide parts in keep threads as clean as possible from debris get all surfaces as flat as possible. In a perfect world without 15+ year old cars...

[@blazefox3747]

i was wondering why my camber was so off i never noticed the lower adjustment.

[@Cjmm007]

So do you use bump stock or not on the rear spring

[@ZZPerformanceChannel]

With coilovers you do not use the stock bump stop, there are bump stops built into the rear dampers.

[@CaptainRudy4021]

I just had a thought. I think you guys should develop an air lift system for your coilovers similar to the APLS system Fortune Auto uses for their 500 series coilovers.

[@loveracing1988]

We need the video for people who don't want coilovers for the stance

[@ericlewis5035]

Like the Shop shirt Tyler

[@jasonspellich2440]

Any more rowdy videos?

[@zcva4390]

So if i have a 2.2 16 inch wheels stock wheels does it have any snags?

[@gtr8skyline]

Hi, you guys have a link of thoses Moog front link kits you installed? For my cobalt SS 2007 Awesome video btw!

[@stevewittbrodt]

Can the same technique for ride height lining the lower mount holes be used if you were on a stock strut?

[@Friedbrain11]

It's called galvanic action. The steel and aluminum are being electrically corroded.

[@TheGamingReactors]

what size spanner wrench do you use? i have an 06 cobalt ss and am trying to adjust the height.

[@adamfrbs9259]

Are the regular hhr's really running as long as people say.? Getting like 250 to 350k or more on same everything even factory timing chain.

[@ZZPerformanceChannel]

Yes, we regularly see many Ecotecs running well past the 300k mark. If maintained properly they can go an extremely long time.

[@adamfrbs9259]

@ZZPerformanceChannel Mmmmk, well I know what I'm getting for the next dog mobile. Thanks! Those inner rear door handles on the panel vans make me nervous, smart dog could figure those out and I didn't see a child lock button on the drivers side. Gonna hafta go in the panel and disconnect them somehow.

[@dink5821]

looks noice

[@MISERSTYLE]

Does ZZP have a height raising kit? It get old really quick driving around worrying about scraping and hitting (front end especially) entering and exiting anywhere and also pot holes and speed bumps. Does anyone have any info on proper adjustability to raise an HHR SS about 1 to 2 inches ?

[@ZZPerformanceChannel]

Our coilovers are adjustable so that you can raise your ride height up to stock height. If you want to go beyond that, we recommend swapping your struts from a base model Cobalt.

[@Crispyrod]

@zzperformance, do you have to run a 5mm spacer for the redline rears?

[@ZZPerformanceChannel]

You do not have to, as long as everything clears, it will continue to clear. We have a note about this on the website. If you'd like to run a 3mm spacer to feel comfortable, there's no problem doing so.

[@jesusnegrete3751]

Do guys carry anything for tbss

[@gbrunner24]

We have a few LSx platform parts on the website that can be found here: zzperformance.com/collections/lsx However, nothing particularly for the TBSS unfortunately.

[@UncleRico371]

Oooooooo shiny things 😲😲

[@lab7461]

IS THERE ZZP COILOVERS FOR ATS

[@gbrunner24]

Not yet, however they’ll be out before the end of the year!

[@MattIsLoling]

The swaybar endlinks are a fucking nightmare And 2 of my bolts on the top hat are just free spinning god damn it lmao 3/4 tires got the coilovers installed and the last 2 bolts on top hat want to free spin then I cut the freaking swaybar endlink bolt with a Sawzall just cause I couldn't get it to stop spinning no matter what I shoved behind it or wrenched in didn't wanna work😂😢 fuck these cars are so stupid to work on

[@GeoTrashPanda]

Wtf did he flip that nut to back out that bolt! Nah don't do that! Only mushroom the outside of that nut.

[@gbrunner24]

I've been flipping the nut and hammering that way for quite a while. Found it mushroomed less than the "front" since you have more surface area. Either way works though!

[@GeoTrashPanda]

@@gbrunner24 yeah because it kinda got that built in washer but you don't want to mushroom that since it's the surface that mates to the knuckle and all. The outside of the washer doesn't matter as much since it doesn't mate to any surface.
