hello everyone im researching lowering springs, what springs are the best i just bought a 2009 chevy hhr panel and i just put a set of wheels and tires on it and its begging to be lowered the size of the wheels are 18 235 40 18 im really itching to get this done i heard goldline springs make your car ride really rough is that true?

Any lowering springs should be a stiffer ride so they dont bottom out, the lower the stiffer.
From what I have heard SSC, Progress and Eibach Pro Kit are a better ride, while the Goldline and Eibach Sportline are lower and stiffer.

i just called eibach and they said they havent tested the springs for the 2009 hhr yet

im looking for springs that will take out some of the inner fender well like goldline springs is there any out there?

I guarantee they will work. All Delta platform vehicles have interchangeable suspension components regardless of year.

It just depends on how much you want to drop. 1'', 2'', 3''...?

i found the springs that i think im going with its from a company called progressauto .com 1.5 in the front 2.3 in the rear i hope it comes out allrite i should of went with a wider side wall tire but it should be good i have a 235 40 18

Just because they will fit doesn't mean they are the proper spring. In this case it propably will work, but just because cobalt springs fit, doesn't mean they're the correct spring rate. Also lowering a vehicle without changing the shock/strut to accept this change will cause a rougher ride. When lowering a vehicle, the amount of travel in the piston of the shock/strut is shortened, causing a "rougher" ride. Most stock susupensions can be lowered by an inch or so without having to change the shock/strut as well.

I think you're contradicting yourself a little there...

Not true


Well if lowering springs are no stiffer, you might as well just cut a few inches off the factory ones. :D
