Well I was torn with the Eibach springs and pro link but I instead got the Zenn springs (saved $$$). The Zenn ones are now, as of this weekend, on... I live in Arkansas and I know the Zenn has the same stance as the Eibach's... With that said, so far - the man holes (we don't have pot holes, they are to shallow) are tolerable and haven't bottomed out as of yet.

The ride is fine knowing what the springs do...

since your car most likely looks like a 4x4...got witht the sportlines because you willnot really notice much of a difference with the prokit

i have sportlines and the are GREAT the handling is such an improvment and the cars stance isnt a low as id like it to be but i just dont feel like buying coilovers...

Most of our cobalt customers go with the sportlines, we rarely sell the pro-kit

First of all, you would most certainly see a difference with Prokits versus stock. I have been on Prokits for 3 years now, and they are great. My car is also my daily driver. One difference besides for just height is the Prokit has a progressive rate coil. That makes for a smoother ride over normal roads. It only gets stiff over the big bumps and aggressive cornering. Sportline are just plain stiff to start with.
