Cobalt Springs?

So, I'm just thinking about leveling the HHR. I want the back a little lower. I've seen something about people use the Cobalt SS Springs. Is it just the factory springs on the Cobalt SS? Like these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COBAL...Q5fAccessories

And where would a good place to get these be?

These don't seem too badly priced? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-Ch...Q5fAccessories

Yeah it's just the factory springs people are using to level their HHR's. I'd jump on the second set that's rears only. You don't find them like that too often

Yep agreed,
I've been running '08-09 Cobalt SS/TC rear springs in my Panel Trucklet.
Dropped only 1" (which is ALL I wanted). & I can still haul plenty as well..

Several members here used the earlier Cobalt SS/SC springs as your link shows, the drop is more than 1" for sure..

Eric- There are threads here about this "Lowering with GM Parts" is one.

How much would you be selling those for prod?

Otherwise, does anyone object to the second listing I posted? Price seems alright to me...

Ill be selling them for the same price I bought them for, $15. Plus shipping I guess, I'd have to check on that. They arent in great cosmetic shape, the paint was scratched off in some places by the previous cobalt owner while using the spring compressors. These are the SS/SC springs, slightly softer than the SS/TC.
They level out the body really well, but you might notice the rear wheel gap is slightly less than the front due to the way the fender is cut. I also have about 80 lbs worth of subs and amps in the back.
They are a great compromise for a year round daily driver, slightly stiffer than stock, but still comfortable and leaves a little room for snow or unpaved roads.
I am feeling the need for more drop, so I just ordered the Canuck Motorsports springs, they should be here in few days and I will get them on soon after that. Im hoping they arent so low that I will need to swap them for the stock springs in winter.
