As far as I can determine, there are no specific lowering springs made for the 2009-10. I've not had direct experience, but several people on the Matrix Owners website are running the prior generation springs. Some report a tiny bit more drop, other's don't mention it. I've not heard of any problems.When I get around to it (money) I am going to get 1st gen springs on my 2009.
