On Pedder's Xa coilovers, rear is just on the springs with the locking rings removed. Front has more, but I enjoy it as it sits .

zzp has developed their catbacks for the Cobalts on their own vehicles which are lowered. the only difference is that the HHR's exhaust is a tadbit shorter, everything else is the same.

Do the gold line springs work well on the ss? Seems like the lowest drop of them all before coilovers. Hows the ride quality if anyone has used them. Debating on ordering these or the pedders.

i think im going to have to go with pedders, we had a 08 SS auto come into the dealer the other week as a trade in and i was doing the inspection on it and it had eibachs, K&N and IPCW, i didnt like the drop with the eibachs it basically just dropped the front, it didnt look very good, it was a nice drop in the front but it would have been 2412340985723 times nicer if it was an equal drop

But were they the Eibach pro-kit (black) or the sportlines (red)? I likey the pedders drop but if I can get the same drop for $200 less I'm down with that..
