View Full Version : These springs any good? giant96 11-20-2006, 07:41 PM I came across there on ebay for $100 shipped. Any good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COBALT-05-06-07-HHR-SPRINGS-CHEVROLET-GM-2-SPRING_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33582QQihZ010QQi temZ200049653566QQrdZ1 HHR Forever 11-20-2006, 07:44 PM Don't take them, they suck!!! Mark 11-20-2006, 07:59 PM Save your pennies, stick with a known brand that actually tests their products on real cars. SoCalHHR 11-20-2006, 08:44 PM We sold those springs (made by progress), for a short time when Gold-Line had ran out. Nearly every pair we sold was returned (they bought Gold-Lines instead!). :lol: Here's a pair installed on an HHR: http://www.socalhhr.citymax.com/i/Hidden%20Pics/Progress_Springs_InstalledSm.jpg See how the spring coils bind up? Bad design. And that's just sitting on a rack! Imagine actually driving down the road - it ain't pretty! Save up for some good springs - you'll thank me later. :thumb: upOnGamE 11-20-2006, 09:06 PM best bang for your buck i believe is springtech i believe. not those they say cobalts too but with them weighing about 500 less do you trust that SoCalHHR 11-20-2006, 09:09 PM Have you had springtech's on your HHR - or are you just recommending them? giant96 11-20-2006, 09:23 PM Ew yea those dont look so good. I had springtechs on my 02 grand prix and I went back to stock cause I hated the ride. cjuetten 11-21-2006, 12:01 AM I assume your concerned about cost so here goes. I had SpringTechs in my HHR for about 12K and have never had a problem. Paid about $175 shipped to my door. Easy to install and I've never bottomed out, rubbed, or hit, not even with over 500lbs in the back. It'll retain the stock rake only lower which may or may not be the look you want. There is a lot of info on springs so do a search, and decide for yourself. Mark 11-21-2006, 09:07 AM I assume your concerned about cost so here goes.
