The wife asked me "you have a new HHR, what else do you want". I took about 15 minutes of rapid talking to get it all out (and that was just car mods, lol). I don't think she understands, even though her dad was a drag racer!

Big thank you to Jeff at Truckshop.com and my Brother-in-law for the install. Here are a couple of pics.
Look's good. The level look definately adds to the HHR.

Hey Doug...

Wow... they look really nice on your HHR... but your HHR always looks beautiful to me (and what a shine)...

Just curious but did you guys instill with the larger coils at the top or at the bottom?

FYI... no noise with my leveling springs since May 1, 2007

We installed the tighter spaced coils on top. I've already loaded it down, went over some pretty bumpy roads and dips with no noise at all The ride is great and I couldn't be happier.

The Goldline leveling springs do not some with instructions, however my brother in law, who makes a living as a mechanic (and a vey good one) says as far as he knows, variable rate springs are installed with the tight spaced springs on the top. To verify that, we researched on the internet, including the Goldline website, and in every case, that is the way the springs were installed, so that is how I installed mine, and I have no noise or ride problems at all. We also installed one turned the other way to see if there were any clearance issues, and it was tight on the bottom where the spring rests. That is my experience, some may be different and if it works the other way for anyone else, thats great. this is how it worked for me.
