well, not really lol. I've been lurking these forums for a couple months and i just joined because im interested in getting a ss/tc. well here's a photoshop of a lower balt(just took the picture from a member on here). the reason i posted was that i wanted to see if anyone could take a side shot of their balt with their wheels straight(surprisingly no one has yet lol). someone take a pic and post it up so i can (photoshop) lower it!

 

i will just send you a picture of another balt... they look exactly the same...

 

doesn't really matter which color, etc.... i just need a stright side shot as the one i did above isn't all that great

 

I took this one the day I got it.

I will shoot some more Friday.
THe last few days it's been shoot pics or dive the car....Darn it's time to go to work.

 

I have been wondering about the crowd of people who will be lowering their SSTC. These cars are highly engineered for handling. I only know a few things about handling and suspension, but I understand that the shocks work "with" the springs. Won't droping in springs to lower the car without modifying the shocks completely destroy the handling? I understand a lower center of gravity is better and I know this is a pretty complicated issue. Can the suspension guys shed some light on this?

 

the only reason people shuld be lowering the car/ the only way is for coil overs

 

I agree.

 

adobe coilovers ftw!

 

wow, I didn't realize the ss/tc is so godly that you can't even lower it. It's a freaking cobalt. Lower that bitch and get rid of the wheel gap.

 

that will actually probably hurt handling... so no unless you're going coil overs.. thats the worst idea you can have

 

why a pic of the ss/tc lowered? look at any lowered ss cobalt, they all look exactly the same, except for the rims.

 

riiiiiiiight

 

Going to a spring with a different rate will definitely change the handling. You want your spring rate to match your damping rates, too soft a spring and you will be overdamped and too hard a spring and you be underdamped. Neither of those are desirable, the theoretical optimal is to by critically damped. There will be room for improvement though in most any car in the handling department since they (automakers) actually take ride quality into consideration when choosing component characteristics. If you throw ride quality out the window when designing something you can make it handle better.

 

the angle is a little high but ill try to work with it

Ok i just got done with the yellow one a member just posted above. here it is:





and Z_Ghost, i tinted your windows for ya

 

can you lower the Toyota(?) right behind the cobalt too

 

missed this car



lower him with my height

 

off topic.. but does anyone know what tires the ss/tc comes with

 

continental ContiSport Contact2

 

that look sick lowered lemme get u a pic of mine so u can tint the windows an lower it

 

i was about to do yours but i didn't want to cut that girl's legs of lol...i'll post up the two that people requested

ill give u another lol



if that doesnt work il take a beter one tomm or just do it myself if i can find where to d/l ps

 

i hope you're kidding...oh well, here's toyota lowered:

once again, tinted and lowered

 

That's a Hyundai Santa Fe back there.

OK I have got to get the windows tinted for sure.
