I've had em about a year now.. Love it 100%

Rides stiff though so if you have alot of potholes and steep driveways in your area you will have to learn how to drive all over again.

i have the tenzo-r's. They are absolutly amazing. I dont care what anyone says. For the price they were perfect and they are nice and stiff. Yeah, you can't hit any pot holes either like he said. What's cool is they are progressive rate springs, so they get stiffer as more stress is applied to them.

you get what you pay for. if all you're looking for is a cheap drop then get them. don't expect them to get any performance out of them though.

not sure about cobalts but they sag on hondas/acuras. i'm positive they will do that to any car though.

Umm.. Personally I am going to go ahead and say you know nothing about them at all. Have you honestly had them on your car before? Because When i installed mine I got MUCH better handling out of the balt as compared to stock. And im convinced that they are maybe not AS good as a set of high dollar springs but they still get the same result, a nice low drop, and damn good handling.

They may not have the name of Eibach or whatever but they are still just as good.


Also the struts I have are still running strong and I have hit many a pothole since i have had them on.

your struts should be ok for a while, but i know there are a few guys an here with just springs and their struts eventually fail/leak. its going to happen eventually, but you should be good for a decent amount of time.
