Why would you want to drive a car around with springs that costed $45?? Do you REALLY trust the craftmanship of said product? How safe can they really be? Can I interest you in some ocean front property? (located in beautiful Arizona)

Sounds too good to be true...and they don't mention a brand. Might want to look thru feedback and see if any other HHR owners purchased them and what sort of feedback they left. Or even contact them directly...I did that on something else for the HHR and the person told me they were junk.

Here's the auction for others who want to check it out and provide their opinion.

#1 - they come with "silencers" which means they probably have the coil rub problem experienced by others here, I would hope that properly engineered springs wouldnt need them
#2 - the seller says they are good for cobalt and hhr, I really think different springs would be required
#3 - you get what you pay for, I would gladly pay the extra $100 for a proven product from a quality brand. Its not like buying a trim piece, what happens if a spring fails? ouch

like he said, you get what you pay for, it you want to be cheap, go to your local muffler shop and let them heat your stock springs, that'll drop it.
you can buy ground force off ebay for 221.50 shipped

give them a shot, there are 50 spring companies and only like 10 manufactures.also ,even the eibachs use silencers on the coils, since they are progressive rate and the coils are tight as you go up, and they will touch, at some point.i run sportlines with airlift bags in the rear, big drop, no loss in weight carrying capacity,,

try it out.

Try em out thats not to bad of a price. And if you don't like em ebay em or sell em to some one else. I'm sure there are many other cobalts g5's and hhrs ownd by people who wouldn't care if they didn't ride as good as you would like. I know a couple buddy's of mine who got into choping the factory springs who lived with the hash ride. I swear when i went for rides in there cars i was bouncin all over the place felt every bump and even hit my head on the roof a couple times. But they all loved the slammed look.

Point is even if they ride like crap to you some one else will put up with them if you ever want to sell them.

Try em.
