PICS of B&G coilovers installed-09 Cobalt TC

The install was far more involved than the "instructions"(if that's they call them...not very helpful sadly) made it seem....so I did not do a how-to as you would be reading all day. Here are some pics along the way:
Before:

Fronts on the left rears on the right:

Fronts installed leaving a bit of lowering ability:

After but before I cleaned her up:

After the bath :P

I intentionally did not go as low as possible bc I'm gonne drive her for a week or so and let it settle and then make any adjustments and get my alignment done at that point!

I've got the dampner set all the way to "soft" for now until everything settles in a few days so it felt nice and smooth still.* Even set totally soft it definately seems to respond a bit easier.* I like it so far but I've only put about 10 miles on it in town since we finished install.

Gimme a wingless Summit White and it's a deal.* I don't wanna fill holes with something from Autozone and I'm being too cheap to pay for a professional job and then get paint matched.....or pay to buy a whole wingless trunk and no one has got back to me on the wing trade thread.**

** Looks like I'm stick with it.** It's all good as I like the wing but leaning to go wingless.

The wing looks badass on the white car man, don't trade it. Also the drop height is PERFECT. I don't suggest going any lower it looks awesome enough. Clean looking car, nice work

sorry about the instructions.. its very hard to write some when you have a lot of knowledge on suspension and make it easy to understand.. but the car looks great!!
