Did you change your springs when you changed the struts/shocks to get that much lower?

I have a 09 LT and want to change to FE5 but trying to decide what springs to roll with. I found a set of Eibachs new in box on CL or a set of SS springs as well.

I bought the lowering springs from Progresive in Anaheim, Calif. over 4 years ago it was the first mod. I did my 2006 2lt 2 years ago I bought the KYB rear shocks fe-3. Eibach used my HHR to redesign the rear springs about 2 years ago?

Eibach offered to install their new rear springs but could not tell me how much it would lower so I stayed with the Proggresive springs but they did install the new swaybar. As I had 2 of their sway bars break so I got the first of the new sway bars so they kept my HHR overnight to design their new springs got a tour thru their plant was impressed.
