why not just get OEM lights ? just buy the lights and switch. fog lamps are $56.25 ea. come with bulb everything just snap in. switch is $20.00 just plug in. will need a harness to fog lamps there is a thread on how to make one here. thats how I did mine. then you can adjust them they have alinement just like a head light Then it is all oem & GM.

how was wondering does anybody know if they are gonna come out with some coilovers for the hhr if so what company...
KW Suspension already has them out...but they're not cheap.
HHR kits range from $1325-1650 depending on the version you want.
You can see them HERE (http://www.kw-suspension.com/en/30_Products/60_Product_Finder/index.php?modell_1=HHR&level=3&hersteller_1=CHEVROLET&gruppe=all&zeile=2).
*Note: we have talked with several companies during the last year about putting our our own coil-over setups, but basically it runs 40-50k for us to get started. Coil-over design and build is not cheap.
Hope it helps,

so coilovers are adjustable, while springs like goldline arent, thats the deffrance between the two?

Alright 06... to briefly summize coilovers vs. traditional 'body springs' - your correct!:D
The difference with coilovers is that the shock tube (or strut), which is used to DAMPEN bumps travels through the center of an adjustable coil spring (sometimes coilover setups use 2 coils stacked on top of one another). By adjustable- I mean the coil spring (which supports the weight of vehicle above the axles) can be compressed to lower or de-compressed to raise. These are *manual* adjustments - as opposed to an airbag kit which is done via compressors, air, and bags. Some of the nicer (more aggressive) coilover set-ups also have adjustable SHOCKS that are used in conjunction with the springs... therefore the configurations are nearly infinite.
As for the GL's, they serve the same purpose (supporting the vehicle) and are OEM-type springs... NOT adjustable. They ARE coiled more tightly (compressed) to lower the stock ride height.
Hope it helps!:thumb:
Adjustable coil overs use a threaded sleeve on the body with a threaded collar for the spring seat to adjust ride height. They do not compress the coil more. The spring rate remains the same.
The K&W kit for the HHR uses a threaded adjustable seat in the stock spring location.
