where can I get a set of springs to lower my XLR?
Any vendors have aftermarket parts for our cars?

You probably don't need springs. Same running gear as a Corvette and you can get an inch or more by turning up some bolts.

Yep, that's exactly it!
I was afraid to start wrenching on mine. My dealer gave me the GM print out for "Trim Adjustments",but advised against it.....thay advise against everything though!!

I'll follow up with this thread, Thanks Caly

check my garage photos

those are 20", I have a lower profile (more room in the wells) than stock wheels


it's screaming to be lowered, but I would not go more than 1"


here's a photoshop of it lowered!!

I have followed up on that. they show them available, but they don't exist.
H&R has no intention of making them.

check Eibach, their working on it, but I don't think avail yet.
