Does it matter which direction the springs go in?

 

Front or rear? Rear one just sit inside of the rubber mounts, I don't think they matter.

 

Ok thanks and yes they are the rear.

 

Dont know about the cobalt ones but the fe5 has the smaller curls to the top.

 

You must have gotten them...good! We had a hard time figuring out how they went in too so we just tried our best to match them up with how the HHR factory springs were installed.

 

Yes I got them early this morning. There was a mix up. We have two houses on a large property. They delivered them to the wrong house and the owner of the house never brought them over. But I did get them.
I got them installed now. I matched them the best I could to the stock springs. Initial driving seems that the car handles better. With the ttr sway bar also it really drives completely different. The car also sits level. Looks great. Thanks chefhhr.

 

Very cool, glad you like them. I did notice the ride definitely firmed up in the rear with them installed...granted I didn't have the sway bar installed (still need to get one). Get us some pictures!

 

My Ground Force springs are the same... I think that's standard for a progressive wound spring.

 

Heres a pic after installation. I took probally about two hours to do. Id say the hardest part was getting the spring mounts/bump stops out of the old springs lol. I have drove it about twenty miles. Ran it pretty hard and everything is still together. Lol so I guess its good.

 

Heres another picture.
