Well, I did take delivery of my HHR last Tuesday and I really love the style of it. And the people here on this forum are much more laid back than the Corvette Forum I'm also a member of. I have a bunch of parts on order already!

I'll back this up. With the leveling springs and the sway bar it really handles great. Not sports car good but it corners nicely. And the biggest improvement is that the wallow in the rear end is completely gone when on the interstate.

What kind of springs would be a good choice considering the fact that I'll be carrying a lot of weight in my vehicle? Since I have the 2LT, do I have beefier springs already?
