Only time will tell my friend. I just recently got the sportlines because I heard H&R had some vibration issues and progress is always on back order. I wanted the lowest drop but after going to my friends shop and seeing the sportlines on his shelf I couldnt wait anymore so I bought them and put em on this past weekend. Im happy.

What brand did you want to come out? I have always used Eibachs and sold Eibachs and tend to have the happiest customers. Usually the cheaper springs work well just dont have as smooth of ride!

Do Cobalt springs tend to catch fire?? Is that why they need to be put out?

There are quite a few options for springs out, but it's all in what you want. I recently purchased some springs from a company on another site and hopefully, money permitting, I should be putting them on this weekend. I believe they may have the biggest drop for the SS/SC. Supposed to be 1.6" front and 1.8" rear. If I can get this done tom. I will definately post pics. H&R, Eibach has 2 styles, Tenzo R, SMG, these are just a couple that I can think of off the top of my head.

I love my Eibachs.

Tein is supposed to have springs for us in the spring along with a full suspension package.

I don't know the exact drop the Tein springs will give.

You guys can contact Tein and ask them. This way you get the truth.

Ill wait for him to post pics but I saw and drove in his car today and it rode a little smoother then stock and it sat very low, the rear wheels were almost tucking. Major difference from stock height.
