Question Lowering Kits?

I'm looking around for some lowering kits. I want my HHR to be low but also look nice. I have been looking at the Eibach pro kits and wondering if anyone has used them before, and if they have a pic so i can see what it would look like,

There are a few people on here with Eibach springs and they have no complaints. I personally went with 06-07 Cobalt SS/SC struts and springs. Paid $200.00 for the complete setup. Here is a pic of my drop.

Forgot to mention, make sure you get the Camber kit. I needed them for my HHR, my alignment would not get into specs without it.

Some months back Eibach installed on my HHR their redesignd rear sway bar, kept my car overnight and rented a new Chevy Traverse so they could design new rear springs for the HHR, they offered to insatall the new rear springs but could not tell me how it would lower the rear, a couple days ago I called Eibach the design engr. was on vacation so I talked to one of their Engrs. he said they have 2 sets of rear springs which will lower the HHR.

You may get better responses if you post this in Appearance or Suspension instead of 2.2L performance

I installed my Eibach Pro Kit this past weekend. So far I love it. Great feel on the road while driving. Not harsh and bumpy, but not a slosh bucket either.

I think mine came out to be 1" up front and 1.5"+ in the rear. Sits really close to level now (before, I had a very obvious rake)
