Where? Just rear springs..

Hello everyone, I'm working on my sons 07 HHR and we are just wanting to lower the rear this time. I have looked and can't find just the rear stings at a drop of 1.5 to no more than 1.75 anyone have any info on this, just wanting to level it out. Thanks for any info.

not many companies just sell the rear or fronts..its usualy as a set (front AND back)..
so if you cant find any rears, why not try cutting a coil off and see how it sits

You can't cut the rear springs as they're wound tighter on the ends. I have a set of rears that dropped my panel 1.5 inches....wanted to go lower,took them off after one week. Still have them but I live on the west coast of canada.

Try Cobalt SS/SC or TC springs. That is what most use to lower just the rear.
Worked for me. Hope this helps. Rock Auto about $70/pair

Thought about that skyline..till I got the right info from these guys. I was looking at my old front springs thinking they were the rears.

Thanks for the offer Allen, it would probably be cheaper for me to purchase front and rear than pay shipping from there huh!

Well.. I guess that answers the question of why I can't find them, most companies just make kits. Thanks guys!

Yes they lower the rear by 1 1/2". You will also need to adjust your headlights.
Lots of info on springs if you use the search option.
