I'm purchasing some cobalt sport springs "all 4" and not really planning to use front ones but was wondering.. Does anyone know what they measure compared to stock HHR fronts..just in case I might want to drop front later?

Never heard the term Cobalt "sport" springs without a "F" code lettering.
I know the Cobalts had different suspension packages offered like the HHR's have the FE1:smooth ride, FE3:sport, or FE5:performance setup.
So. What exactly is the "sport" for the Cobalt? Is it the FE3?

Must be the fe3 because I think he said he went with the fe5 or vice versa.

Sport springs or FE3 springs on the Cobalt are stiffer and do not lower the car, the SC/TC springs from the Cobalt SS are even stiffer and lower the car. I researched on the cobalt site

I ordered AC Delco cobalt SS springs for the rear of my hhr thinking they were GM original parts..did I screw up?

Can anyone help me out here, I think I can still cancel my order if I need to. AC Delco springs or not?

Here is the GM Part #25821162 Cobalt SS/TC rear springs.

I'm more worried about the clunking of maybe too many coils that I have heard about.

Canuck Motorsports springs are custom wound for the HHR to lower the LS/LT 1.5 inches in front and 2 inches rear, like the SS. many have put in the Cobalt springs and have had no problems with coil bind. If you ordered a full set of springs for the SC/TC from GM, GM Part #25821162 Cobalt SS/TC rear springs you will have the rear springs designed for the lighter weight of the Cobalt SS as opposed to the HHR SS.
I still have the Canuck rears which will level out your HHR
