The SSC springs for cobalt are different than canucks for the HHR, mine are higher in back and are pretty stiff. They make good load springs actually. Post up some pics when you get them on.

I ordered the canucks for the cobalt, not for the HHR. It should provide a little more of a drop.

And I'm assuming the SSC springs that this guy put on are for a cobalt also considering he bought them off of css. Which explains a little bit more of a drop but I'm more concerned about ride quality

Ah ok. In that case you should end up exactly as the OP pic as SSC = Canuck.
I tried the stock cobalt SS springs and found the rears too soft and occasionally bottomed out. That makes me think the aftermarket cobalt springs will feel a little softer on an HHR than on a cobalt.

I didn't even think about this...dangit. I ordered mine for the HHR but it should drop it enough. I just want to get rid of the gap...not really have it tucked. I had my old S-10 dropped like 4"s in the front, 5" in the rear...looked great, but it rode like hell! I want something that looks aggressive but still keeps the ride.

Supposedly the SSCs/CMs ride like stock. Supposed to be comparable to pedders but at half the price!

So after talking with CM I found the difference between the Cobalt and HHR springs

Cobalt spring rates:

front - 135lb/in
rear - 150lb/in

HHR spring rates:

front - 240lb/in
rear - 260lb/in

(about 1" or less taller than Cobalt springs)

CM ended up having like a 2 week backlog on the HHR springs so I ended up getting the Cobalt SS springs instead. I'm hoping the ride quality will be ok.
