What lowering springs are currently available?

I intended to buy goldlines a while back. Was too busy to put them in so I just figured I would order them later. Then they quit making them. So here I am. I want to drop the whole thing. Just a quick easy spring change, no bags or spring overs or any expensive method. It's an 07 fall edition, please shed some light on what's available.Cobalt kits? Specific HHR?
Thanks

I just changed mine in my SS. I bought a set of Canuck Motorsports springs off of ebay for $149+shipping. The ride is about the same as it was with my stock springs and got 1 1/2" s of drop front and rear.

I just wrenched a set of Canuck Motorsports 1.5 inche lowering springs in, Ray and the staff there are very well versed in the lowering coil spring field ,and very reasonable price,too. My ride and handling is much better than stock, I did not need any adjustments on the alignment rack after the install. Very pleased with the purchase, I have Eibach coils on my 2003 Sunfire GT and they ride much stiffer then the Canuck's and they were nearly 2X the price

hey, I also have the canuck motorsports springs. The spring rate is what I was looking for, a little stiffer than the stock LS springs.
However, the rears have about the same ride height as stock while the front lowered nicely. Do you guys have a more even height front to back? Post up some pics if you can.

I tried contacting them at the time, emailed the above pic, but no response back. Its been over a year now, so im not sure what they would do about it. Worth a call though.
Also, when i tried to swap stock springs back in for winter, the rear CM springs are so tight on the bottom mounts that I couldnt get them off. All my weight on a tire iron and still couldnt pry them off. Perhaps I got the wrong ones in the box...
