Lowering an SS

I want to lower my SS, but don't want to reduce spring rates. Any suggestions? Any springs for sale?

If I ever do springs the only thing I will consider is Pedders.

You can get some real good info over here

The HHR is pretty much the first time that Pedders actually stayed pretty close to the factory spring rates

I would consider the Pedders for my SS if I ever decide to lower it, but my biggest concern is ride quality. My other HHR was lowered and rode rough. If they could make a lowering spring that gave you the stance plus a smooth ride, I would be up for it,lol.

I lowered my SS with goldline springs. It to me rides just fine and I am not one for a rough lowered ride. Just wish it was a little lower in the rear. But over all I like it.
