Lowering your Cobalt!!

Just wondering if anyone has the Tenzo-R Cobalt Lowering Springs?

My one friend just put on lowering springs...said his shocks arent as good s they used to be????

Cuz the LS and LT are kinda High for Height! Anyone just lower your rides with just springs or coilovers? Thanks.

A) Never use anything made by a company called "Tenzo-R".
B) Anytime you lower your car you should replace the dampers to utilize the shorter bound and keep them alive longer.
C) Glad you asked before you bought. Get the Eibach coilovers or some nice Progress Springs.

Just because a product is cheaper doesn't mean it is inferior.

Although I will be going with the eibach.

everyone here is lowered on stock struts/shocks since for whatever dumb reason...no companys make anything for the delta platform.

yes overtime, the struts/shocks will deteriorate but you really don't have any options at the moment unless you purchase one of the rk sport or other 2K coilover kit (forgot the name)

Actually just because a "brand" of spring sounds cheap doesnt mean it really is. There are only so many companies that manufacture springs. All of these other companies are just re-badging them to make them "their" brand.
