Eibach or Goldline?

I was trying to decide which Springs to get, Either Eibach or Goldline. Any one here have any experience with both or favor one more than the other? Does anyone of the two brands ride better or have any quality difference other than the lowering measurements differences?

I've had both. Eibachs ride MUCH better.

I did have the 1st gen GL's, lower than my current Eibachs, but they rode like a rock! Eibach's ride nice enough my wife was okay with putting them on her HHR too.

I have Goldlines and hate them. Harsh ride and noisy on bumps. Also, I believe Goldline closed up shop, so you may not have any choice.

I've got Goldline leveling springs but I really want Eibachs. I'm considering the Eibach Sportlines instead of the Pro Kit- anybody having problems with those?

Dory is riding on 2nd gen Gold Lines, and they are not to harsh.
GLs are available at truckshop.......both leveling and full lowering kits.

Eibach does not recommend the sportlines on the HHR that are designed for the cobalt. The spring rate is not high enough on the sportlines, however they state the Pro Kit does work :)

SO basically, there is no way to get as low as the 1st gen GLs? At least without 'baggin' it..
