I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I had the pro kit on my HHR for about a year and a half, maybe two, and I swaped the rears out for stock this week because it bottoms out. I think that because they were desingned around the cobalt, the extra weight of the HHR in the rear is to much for that little spring. All you have to do is look at them side by side and you will see it. If you have them already I hope it works out. 
If you haven't decided and your looking into the eibachs I would do my home work first

I put these springs on my panel and it does bottom out. By bottoming out I mean it hits the bump stops.
The ride is ok. The rear springs suck. The top coils are colapsed. That hurts the ride. They should have done a progressive spring. If there is a lowered rear spring that is not colaped like this, I'd like to know.

That is true unless you have a wider tire such as my 225's, where it bottoms out on my tire.

im running the sportlines, not a terrible ride at all,i do think they should raise the rate of the rears though.. im putting a set of air shocks in the rear to compensate with a load in it..the shocks arent "bolt in" but are the same length,and travel, only the bushing sleeves are different... but i love the look with the sportlines..
