Here's a quote from another thread that is HERE...post #11.

I installed Spring Techs in my HHR. I've had over 600lbs of stuff in it. It never bottomed out and road level. The spring tech will give it a slight rack, (not as bad as some of the photos posted here) basically maintains the stock rake only lower. I have over 8,000 miles on mine and I've never bottomed, rubbed or had any suspension problems.
The one thing I can't figure out is why none of the lowering springs come with specs. When I order springs for my race car I know the Spring Rate, Installed height, Installed Pressure, Harmonic Frequency all this on a $30 spring. Double the money and you get half the quality and all they can tell you how much it SHOULD lower your car.
