Lowering?

Hello,
I have yet to be able to drive a HHR, but with these crazy ass gas prices I'm looking at tradeing in my 98 Dodge Durnango. The money I will save in gas will almost pay the payment.
But I also build custom trucks for a hobby. Everything in my book looks better lower. I have yet to find any companys making lowering kits for the HHR. I know they are built on the cobolt plat form. Would a cobolt lowering kit work? of I can just say screw it and go straight to air ride. I konw the back would be really easy and the front with the help of eather strut bags or air cylinders. But I dont want a daily driver thats bagged. I already have a bagged and body dropped 92 toyota pickup.
Its eather a HHR or a Xb

The part #'s dont match on the struts or the springs in the front between the HHR and the colbalt. There are 8 different part#'s for HHR front springs alone. The rear springs are the same with the colbalt and a few others in the chevy line.

The HHR is a Delta platform, other Deltas are the Cobalt, Pontiac Persuit and Opel/Vauhall/Holden Astra. The SSR is on the GMT-360 platform, the same as the TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Ranier and Saab 9-7x. Delta is a FWD compact car chassis while the GMT-360 is a full-frame midsize truck chassis.

Just thought I'd clear up any rumors you've heard.
