but it needs to be a reasonable pricen 2 springs for the price or a full set you could possibly get a full set of coilovers and set it that way also

 

Just remember to re-align your headlights

 

Mike Is Right 0n This One. I Did Not Leave Mine On Long Enough To See If They Would Unseat. Just Did It To See If I Liked The Look. Goldlines Were To Answer For Me!

 

The official price for the leveling kit is $139.99. Our shipment is scheduled for delivery Thursday the 28th.

 

Hmmm...this is kind of a contradictory statement. What is reasonable? A set of full coilovers that will support the HHR's rear end will run you $800-1200. I know because I have been working with vendors for several months on it. At that price, ANY spring looks reasonable.

Remember this: whenever you take a stock height suspension and lower it an inch, or inch and a half, you are "increasing the spring rate" as the physical geometry of the suspension has not changed. Using this logic, lowering only the rear of your vehicle will net you a very uneven ride; soft in front and stiff in back. This can cause handling inconsistencies in fast/banked turns, during hard braking, and emergency manuevers. Adding a fully matched kit ensures your car handles well and has an even ride and handling.

It boils down to the old adage; you get what you pay for.

Hope it helps,

 

I have had my truck lowered with 2" rear shackles to level it out for over a year and I havent had any problems

 

Lowering shackles on leaf springs are much less of an issue compared to coil springs.

 

True, but we bought the HHR as the family soccer mom ride. If I wanted something for cornering I sure wouldnt have bought an HHR

 

I might be interested in this, what brand spring are they?

 

Ground Force They have this kit and a whole lowering kit but it is to expensive compared to Eibach and Gold-Line. It comes with an alignment kit though. They told me this leveling kit is designed to work with the stock front springs and will handle just fine. I have put a few of their kits on, and have installed dozens of their 2 inch shackles. Very good quality, no cheap ebay knock-offs sold in my shop
