We actually have some of these kits on order. They will be here in two to three weeks. This will lower you alittle over an inch in the rear. Price is going to be around $165ish. Im trying to decide whether to wait for these kits or put one of these Eibach kits on mine.

I agree, but look at it this way. I have Gold-Lines for $215 and they lower you more then the Eibachs for $250. So you go from
Leveled : $165
Lowered : $250
Slammed : $215
It is a matter of personal preference. I'm willing to pay more money for the Eibachs so im not as low as the Goldlines. My advice is pick out which one you want the most and go for it
Note : $165 is not official and the price should be abit lower.

pull your rear springs. put them standing side by side on the floor. using a cold saw (sawsall) cut 2" from the top ring. put them back on. i did this the day i got my HHR. nice and level. I still put the goldlines on later!

I DO NOT recommend cutting springs on an HHR! The springs have a special "pocket coil" wound on each and to retain the spring in the keepers during full extension. Cutting off the rend coils would cause the springs to unseat and possibly fall out under severe bumps/potholes or when lifted on a rack for service.

ya Im not gonna cut or heat the springs, I just want the rear lower to make it sit level, plus I wont have to worry about alignment issues.

Agreed, I'd like a new set of rear springs that levels the ride to match the stock front.
