All that cutting bumpstops does is kill your shocks and slightly improve your ride quality.

Ok....a few months back I purchased Eibach Sportlines for my SS/SC. I did not care for the handling and feel so I took them off after three days and sold them. Last night I installed Progress Sport Springs on my SS/SC and my son's SS/SC. What a difference. These springs ride great and handle very well. I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase springs at a reasonable price.

On the h&r website they say that they highly recommend new struts and shocks with their lowering kit. Just wondering with those who have h&r's and factory struts/shocks, how long they've lasted you or if you've had any problems.

Looks super! Great balance and perspective.

How do they handle? Played "silly bugger" yet? Blown off any ricers?

Amazing is the best I can come up with..and ride quality is just like stock. Only spring that actually is an improvement over the SS/TC springs. I let my brother drive the car when he was down for labor day, that following week he purchased pedder springs for this hhr ss. Springs where not even on his list.

Thanks! I was curious about Yellow as well on a 4-door...but when I finally saw the car in the show room I had to get it! Drove 400 miles to find a Sedan that wasnt black in FL lol. I originally wanted SRTC (sport red) or silver....but once I saw the Yellow I it just looked so nice on the 4-door. Also pretty amazing they only made 15 RY SS sedans
