I bought progressive springs and grab the instructions from Cobalt.net to do the drop. Man, in the instructions, the guy that used the strap wrench and an allen wrench to take off the strut bolt must have been as strong as the Hulk!! I could not do it with a breaker bar. After an hour fighting the damn nut, I took the strut to a friendly exauhst shop. The owner used a impact wrench to take it off in less then 5 sec. I dropped the guy $10 bucks and asked him if I could bring over the other one. He was more than happy to do both. Other than that, dropping your car is easy! The rear was even easier!!

Here are the results!!

Front: 1.5" and Rear: 2.0"








This is before drop pic:










I am totally happy and can't stop looking at my car!!

 

looks good but it still looks high because of the wheels but looks better then it did right lol

 

i wish i had a white cobalt..

 

Thanks.. but I wonder if anybody else had problems with the strut nut. I don't think you can take it off with out a impact wrench!

 

looks good..
shorty antenna please?..haha
love the white

 

Ok.. next, shorty antenna and tint. Far out next, turbo... Muahahahahaha!

 

i used air tools....i just did mine last week....changed it out to the fe5 springs....did the rear in 20mins and the front in about 35 mins....real easy swap with air tools

 

still not feelin it...those are just too damn big. Maybe if it was slammed on coilovers or bags...

 

it looks a whole lot better droped, lookin good!!

 

yea looks good....huge handling difference too aint it

 

dude get a lip kit. those wheels are MASSIVE

 

what size are thoes rims?

 

Man the handling is awesome. I can like take semi hard turns at 70-80 mph. But, you do feel the road more... in a way I kind of like it.

Yes, sir.. lip kit on the way... Have to save up some cash first.

 

X2. What size are they???

 

19 inch.

I first saw these owners rims and fell in love with the 19 inch rides.

They are 19" Rial Nogaros





And bluestage2's bad ass ride!!




But I didn't want to copy there 19 inch Rial Nogaros. Later on i'll get a ground kit and I'll be set.

Thanks to Rangerodbz and bluestage2 for the inspiration!!

 

unlike them you don't have ground effects, get some and it won't look as goofy.

 

I think the proper mechanical tool you are refering to is a impact wrench.....not "COMPACT" wrench
