Whew! Thank God I escaped the photos, well I mean of ME not my most bytchen white beauty.
As aforementioned, was great to see everyone again. I really look forward to these things, no matter how big or small. Drive in on the 19th will be a blast too.
You are most welcome Angie for the leveling. I like doing that stuff and I will always want to help. Kris you are next. Get those bad boys and head on over.
Great to see you John, Sue, Lady Erin, Sindy and Mr. B.
Props to Al and Josh for making the Northern trek to have a burger and get this one started.

How are you doing that, and what does it do for the handling? Please?

The back springs are changed and in the process, the car "levels" down. If you look at your HHR's back, it kind of sticks up. The springs I used (Goldlines) brought it down about 1.6". I attached a before & after pic.
As for handling, I also have a Progressive sway bar on. That was done first and felt a NOTICEABLE difference with handling immediately--tighter and didn't feel like I was going to tip over making sharp turns. With the leveling, it feels even smoother to me and I like feeling more grounded (plus Blackie looks cool
). Although I had to raise my seat up just a bit as I felt too low! 
Other benefits, being only 5'1", I can reach up to the hatch easier now (much lighter without the rear wiper too!) and while I still miss a spot on the roof (ToddUMA always notices this as he is 6'3"), I can reach a little more on top when I clean!
Got them from one of our vendors: http://hhrboutique.com/items/hhr-per...61r-detail.htm
@ngelita and her lame review of leveling...

Looks so much better. Maybe because the pic was taken in MY driveway. As for the dusty award, I had ONE bug smush on the windshied whereas the giver of the award had a pterodactyl crap HER windshied. Unfair, I say. Matt, her explanation is right on the money man, the springs are progressively wound so the ride isnt compromised. Looks better too.

So even if Blackie had a few spots on the windshield, I can't give it to myself!
Now, ToddUMA kept SPOT, you can keep Dusty if you want (he matches your car some)-remember to snip him--the tag that is!
And yes, Blackie looks great next to the pink building!
smart a**
