SSC Springs?

Anyone here have SSC springs from Cobalt Addiction? If so, how do they feel? Are they any good because they are real cheap in price compared to others.

I had Canuck Motorsports, which are SSC, on my 2005 2.2L and they were great. I just put Sportlines on my 2008 Sport. I have to say the SSC's are a little better, and were cheaper. Go with the SSC's

That's hard to say... your stock struts are going to blown, but nobody can be sure how soon they will go.

Almost better from what I have heard. They ride a little softer.

They lowered my LT down to like 3 fingers in the front and 2 fingers in the back, so a good 2 inches in the front. the Back a little more.

Mine blow in 3 months, but that's due to the construction and crappy roads. I have heard others last over a year and a half.

NO you should upgrade your struts/shocks to match the springs, however alot of people on this place roll the dice and just rock the stockers with the new springs, its not a question of if there going to crap out but when, i have heard months to up a year 2 years....

That's why I want to buy the FE5 Sturts and shocks before putting them on. I'm not going to take a chance with the FE1 struts and shocks.

Roads are pretty good around me and some people have gone pretty far on the FE1 stuff.

The FE5 stuff on GM parts direct is priced good, so I might as well give them a shot.

The FE5 struts are valved a little stiffer, in my opinion it's not worth the money spend on those. Use that money towards a set of KONIs.
