Lowering Springs/Kits for the SS

Has anyone made a kit for the SS that improves the overall suspension and drops it a good amount, but not to much?

Maybe Eibach Sport Line Spring Kit?

Thanks, I'll look into that one, good name brand. Has there been any real world improvements seen with this kit?

I have been working with a company for springs for the SS I should have a set to test for them after the first of the year. Will let you all know.

I don't see how they're going to be any better than what's already available. What company is this by the way?

Since the SS and HHR have different suspension setups I am assuming that most springs have been developed for the HHR, not the SS. What I have been looking for is something that provides a moderate lowering while keeping the suspension performance stock, or better than stock. I am not a fan of doing mods that take away from performance. (In general, I know weight plays a big role in power/speed/handling/all that) I also will not sacrifice safety for a gain in performance.

I know it may sound odd - lowering a car and safety in roll overs. My friend has a GTI and there were some concerns with certain lowering kits that actually increased the chance of a roll over.

Happy Holidays,
I have looked at the Eibach's and the ones linked in this thread have said that they are not for the SS.
