Just want to level my Panel

Have read all the different threads I could find here about lowering, I would like to just level my ride. Due to the fact I tow it, I don't want it any lower in the front. Is there a special spring for this, or should I try the Cobalt SS that is talked about on these threads. Thanks ahead of time for any info.[

I used Gold Lines. Really makes a subtle difference in looks and handling
I like it! Got them from HHRBoutique

Just level

Thanks for the info, did you have to cut the snubbers? Which way did you install the springs? Large coils up or down? How about using the Honda rubber spacers due to the noise? Just found some more threads on here about the Gold lines. So much info my laptop got hot. Think I will try the GL's and go for it. Might try the Honda (temp) fix before install. Thanks for the info HipHotRod.

I have installed them on 3 cars. Large coils up, cut just the end of the snubbers. One trick I did was after they are in, rotate them a few times to get them seated. I feel a little clunk in mine, some have heard a squeak or two, some will say they hear nothing. They will settle in after a few miles. No spacer rubber needed. Note: I have had mine both ways, large up and then down. Up seems to work better.

Unhappy Ready To Buy

So I decide to go for the GL's and they are on a two week backorder at this time. Due to factory change in ownership or something along that line. None on Ebay and our supporting vendors don't carry them in stock. Anybody have some on hand? Leveling springs.

You can get them at HHR Boutique: http://hhrboutique.com/items/hhr-per...61r-detail.htm
or Truckshop.com: http://www.truckshop.com/product.php...5&cat=0&page=2

Are they all on backorder??

These are just the leveling ones...not the full drop.
