All you have to do is look at them side by side and you will see it. If you have them already I hope it works out. If you haven't decided and your looking into the eibachs I would do my home work first
I have the sportline on my panel. I wouldn't recommend it for a standard HHR for the same reason mentioned above. Also, if you have a lowered car, you NEED to drive slow over speed bumps and dips, regardless of the brand of springs. If you can't do that, then a lowered car is not the best thing for you.

I put these springs on my panel and it does bottom out. By bottoming out I mean it hits the bump stops.

The ride is ok. The rear springs suck. The top coils are colapsed. That hurts the ride. They should have done a progressive spring. If there is a lowered rear spring that is not colaped like this, I'd like to know.

Did you remember to cut your bump stops 3/4" before reassembly? If not, there lies your problem.

That is true unless you have a wider tire such as my 225's, where it bottoms out on my tire.

Does anyone make a drop kit with less drop, like 1"-1 1/2" ?

im running the sportlines, not a terrible ride at all,i do think they should raise the rate of the rears though.. im putting a set of air shocks in the rear to compensate with a load in it..the shocks arent "bolt in" but are the same length,and travel, only the bushing sleeves are different... but i love the look with the sportlines..

yes the eibach pro kit is closer to that.
