which springs get you the lowest?
Id love to get coilovers, but im not able to spend that much right now or anytime soon, so springs it is.
right now im on the stock 215/55/16s, and im going to ride those out until the tires are done, before i purchase tires for my 18" solstice wheels. im planning on going with 225/45/18s. i think thats the common size right for you guys running 18s right?
anyways, the Peddlers springs say they only drop 1.5"/1.6". theres no like 2/3 drop kits? or is that too much? on my 16s it looks like a 2/3 will look nice, but im sure when i put the 18s, itll take away some of the gap and i wont need that much of a drop. but i want my hhr to be as low as possible on springs and 18s.
no bags either
(if i could afford it i would lol)

I think the lowest were the original goldline springs, but later versions were raised a tiny bit. You can do a search on here for pics of the goldlines.
The next lowest seem to be the eibach sportlines, which are widely available. Probably your best bet.
Keep in mind as you go lower generally the ride will be stiffer.

The lowest drop is with the B&Gs. The ride quality is nice with them. Im use to cars on coils and all thatkind of good stuff, but these springs are nice. i am riding on them again since i sold my coilovers. and i sold the coilovers because the car is going soon as well.

Keep in mind the Pedders springs were meant to improve handling WHILE lowering ( it goes hand in hand) so the rear height is what it is because thats what testing has dictated....
