bought B&G springs and installed em. BUT the right rear rear spring has 3 coils compressed when the car is on the ground and the left has only to coils compressed. So the rightside gap is about 1 finger width and left is 2 finger width. You can deffinitely tell the difference. Is it possible to install these upside down? These springs when not Installed has one end of the spring close together only and not the other. Is that right? Can't post pics yet cuz I'm at work. Please help!!!!!

 

do you have the right spring in the pocket right? with the end in the indention

 

mmm actually I didn't even see an indentation. I know they're in the front. I followed the how to on the rear springs and it didn't say any thing about an indent on the rears. I turned the springs and pulled em out. That's it

 

on the rear where the spring site the coil has to be in a certain spot. there is a mark there you should be able to see where it goes if you look for it. make sure it's seated properly.

 

On the bump stop side or the other end or did u mean on the springs

 

Well on stock springs the label goes to the back, there is no right side up or upside down, just front and back. The bottom of the spring has to sit right in the spring seat on the axle. youve probably just got them indexed wrong

 

If the springs have the same opening top and bottom then it does not matter which way you install them.. Please do me a favor and look at the numbers on the rear springs and tell me if they match..

On the rear axels right? These didn't even bring instructions. The drop is supposed to be like sportlines so should I trim the bumpstops?

 

please post some pics for us to see..

 

They're not coiled evenly. It's coiled closer on one end and not the other. I'll check the numbers. I'm like 30m from home. Thanks

 

like suggested make sure they're seated properly, i bet that's the culprit.

 

Well I just looked under the car and there's like 1 finger width space between the bump stop and the other plastic thing that goes into the coil end! These can't be the right coils. That's like 1 inch"!!! Can't post pics yet. Also both springs have the same coil compression.

 

MIKE @ B&G -

Cesar found these #s on the packing slip... They are correct for the Cobalt, right?

80084 automotive springs qty 2
80085 automotive springs qty 2

I believe Cesar is still possibly going to check the rear springs to find the #s stamped on them.

 

here are the pics

doesnt that seem too low?

see how the front isnt that low as the back

i know pics suck

 

there is a plastic piece that sits on the lower mount, make sure that is in all the way. it's hard to say what's going on without pics though.

the backs drop more than the front...

 

i like it nice and low lol

 

All the other drops that I see on other cars have a nice even drop on both front and rear. I've never seen a drop like mine on any other Balt unless it coilovers and if I drive like this than goodbye shox/struts or whatever they're called

 

Drop looks exactly right to me.. check out the our test cobalt under chevrolet in our gallery section b-gsuspension.com/gallery

lol if anything yours looks high

 

i guess thats about right. but since theyre arent any instructions how much should i cut the bumpstops. or do i need to cut them in the back and not the front.

what??? really i know that the front looks higher than the rear. but not the back. i didnt cut the bumpstops so than with a drop like this how much should i cut.?

 

my rears look lower than my fronts also. don't forget if they're brand new they'll need some time to settle

 

you mean the front is gonna lower more? how much should i cut the bumpstops?

 

no no you miss understand. looking at the b&g sight yours is high compared to it. there cobalt is tucking. probly just for looks though. cobalts realy cant ride that low with sport handling

 

it is usually recommended to cut bumpstops front and rear..

 

I thought the problem was the left rear was an inch higher than the right rear?????

Youre saying the issue is front is 1" higher than rear? Thats common.
