Goldline springs question-origin/weight

Guys and girls,

Where do Goldline springs come from, are they foreign made?

Also, I heard that they are heavier than lets say, Eibach springs, is that true?

Eventually I'll do this project and want to be sure that I pull the correct lever if you follow my thoughts.

RC is correct.......made in the USA, but although GL shut down, the HHR springs were continued to be produced by a supporting vendor here, or at least they were, by Truckshop.

Yes I installed Eibach Pro springs and am very happy with them. The ride is a little stiffer than standard but not so stiff you feel every crack in the road. The handling is a vast improvement that you can really feel when going around corners.

The springs drop the car the perfect amount for me. I just miss by about 1/2" from hitting curbs when parking the nose of the car over them. I also did not want to go lower than this because of snow issues that could create problems.
