I was looking around cardomain and found these:

Anybody seen these in action or possibly have used them? Just wondering if they're any good.

I don't know why anyone would even consider those given the price.

You can buy Gold-Lines (a quality, name-brand spring), for the same cost.

Having helped prototype the Gold-Lines, I can tell you that the ride of the new Gen 3's is superb. Better than stock. Go Gold-Line....

Good point SoCal.. though some people may like to have options. And this was just more of a curiosity thing anyway. If I ever lower my HHR, it's going to be with an airbag system. The roads are too bad here to have a constant low

So.. besides the given argument of Goldlines, can anyone answer my question?

I know a certain manufacturer who used them on a couple of "play mules". Liked the results....especially since Sprint Suspension had their own facility and could "dial in" the wire wrap, to spec. Can't say how they would work on the HHR.

Speaking of Manufacturers; I spoke with Craig @ Gold-Line and he told me a while back that GM asked him for some springs for the HHR SS mules. If they like them (*and I can't imagine them not!), Gold-Lines may end up as standard equipment on the new SS's.

Well, all I can say is you haven't ridden on the Gold-Lines yet. They are smooth as silk - unlike any lowered car I have ever driven. In fact, I took the Owner of Gold-Line for an extended drive out on the freeway at last year's SEMA show - he said: "I can't believe it! It rides like it's not even lowered!"

Yup. True.
