Lower or just Level?

I bought a set of Cobalt SS springs with the intention of just leveling my HHR but now wondering if lowering the whole thing would be better. What would you do, Level or Lower?

Here's a before/after pic of mine (it is leveled).

I need to drive a lowered one before I decide if that is the next step..for now, I dig the leveled look (I have Goldlines and it rides great too).

How about do the Rear Springs first, drive it around for a week or two and then decide if you want to do the Front Springs or not!

I have the same dilemma, I think im gonna do rears first, then see if I want the fronts too. Also, I would have to find a spring compressor to do the fronts, which may take some time.

My Cobalt SS springs lowered and leveled my HHR. I would think if you just installed the rear it would have rack in the wrong direction.

Here's mine leveled using Gold-Lines. The stance is the same front and back and the ride is no different than stock. I carry passengers and didn't want clearance issues. The Eibach springs lower but don't level and for me the Gold-Line lowering set would do both but I think it's just not practical for my daily driver. A lot of people seen to worry about weight in the back with the whole car lowered and I just didn't want to worry about that. I love the level look and ride and will stick with that.
