Springs?

Okay I know they've all got there supporters and the nay-sayers, and that said I want to know which of the available drop springs is going to bring me closest to the asphalt. Yes I want functionality but that's why I intend to go with springs, I had considered the coil-over kits as well but I'm not building a race-car, I want the drop for aesthetics and to alleviate some of the body roll. So far I'm leaning towards the GL G1's, from the stats they're dropping the most but I was hoping that I could get some input from those of us who have actually had the oppurtunity to compare the products

GL 2nd gen are what's available from any of the vendors now. They are a 4 corner system. GL also offers just a set for the rears, now known as levelers.

Unless you go to a bag system, GL 1st gen is the lowest that was ever produced. Just keep an eye on the classifieds here, occasionally a used set will hit the market.

The sportlines from eibach are a good drop, about the same as goldline gen2, and are easy to find. The pedders look a little lower to me, but they are more expensive.

I just found A set of Eibachs that are 2"F and 2.5"R, listed as Balt springs but they claim they'll fit the HHR, any one know if there's any truth to this

Those must be the sportlines, the prokit lowers 1.5 and 2 I believe.
And eibach sells the same springs for cobalt and hhr, same part number.
