Sportlines or H&R

Which will achieve the lowest stance... my car is starting to look like a 4x4 the more i see people dropping the cobalt ss/sc... which will get my car the lowest and still have impecable handling....

I didn't want to drop it too much due to the roads out here. I was sold on the sportlines. Check out JapEatr's pics. The car looks sweet. Not too low, it is perfect in my opinion.

I like H&R's but the sportlines lower a good amount but not too low, similar to above crappy roads around here.

You can go with H&R, they are awesome springs as well. Just don't know how they will handle with the stock shocks being pushed down that much.

Do the Eibach Sportlines.
Gravana did tests and Eibach's and the actual drop varied from .85"- 1" in the front and 1.25"-1.30" in the rear=perfect!.
Gravana did test on the H&R and the actual drop came out to -1.6" in the front, -1.75" in the back.=To LOW!! H&R claimed -1.5" in the front, -1.4" in the rear, according to their website.

What is the lowest drop out for the cobalt now? The sportlines look nice, but are the h&rs lower?

the Prokit will probably be the least drop for sure. Then the sportlines, and then the H&R's.

I doubt with even the most aggresive drop the cobalt will scrape, here is before and after of my celica with two diff bodykit, i had trouble with the first, but i drove carefully and hardly ever scarped.

The celica was dropped on sportlines, 1.8front and 2.4 rear, looking to get the h&rs for the cobalt!

My SS almost scraps now cuz of the shitty roads out here.

I can't wait for crazy ass body kits like these to come out. Don't care even if they're ugly I want the aftermarket to start kickin at least by summer. (not callin urs ugly)
