Thumbs up RK Sport / H&R Springs

RK Sport has just been released their order of Race series springs for the Cobalt. These springs will lower your base or LS model 2.0" in the front and 1.6" in the rear. (SS model will notice a 1/2" decrease in the ride height due to the car already being lowered from the factory) Also these are suggested to be used with aftermarket struts and shocks.

List on these springs is $329.00

CobaltSS.net forum members can get these for just $205 throught the month of August!

(If you prefer Eibach we have them for the same price as well, Pro or Sport.)

Don't miss out as these are available in short quantity.

Call us at 800-214-8030 to order.

eh, I know many people might say that lowering it would be cool but I'm leaving my stock height because any lower and the car will ground out on almost everything. Got any kits (that actually fit this time) that lower it maybe just 1/2 inch all the way around rather then almost 2 inches all the way around?

First paragraph states they "recommend" aftermarket shocks/struts. In other posts, people said it would be ok on stockers since they are new, but that you would kill them quicker than say an adjustable shock/strut. Hope I read that right, hmmmm.

H&R recommends aftermarket struts and shocks because of the firmness of the "Race" series spring. Eibach says theirs are fine to use with factory struts and shocks being that these are "street" springs.

Yeah I guess we are going to have to figure it out on our own

I can't imagine that they don't make a strut, shock that fits it's just a matter of specing out what you need.

If you're looking for a completely adjustable coil over set up, we are hoping with all good graces that we should have one available by SEMA this year.

Stay tuned!!

hey u guys had B+G create the prostreets for the cavalier. why not have them create a new rs2 adjustable setup for the cobalt? i love my b+G springs on my cav and if i am to get a cobalt ss i would love to have a full coilover setup from them. H&R is a solid company as well but i prefer B+G more.

I'm with you there! B+G makes some great products. Unfortunately they are retooling there shock and strut line and we have been told that the Cavalier stuff won't be available until November and so far they have no plans for the Cobalt. That is why we have turned to H&R and Eibach for there new set ups.

coo. do you recall if this "retooling" will include a set of fully adjustable coilovers for the cavalier? or basic dual ridehight adjustable? i want fully adjustable coilovers, from dampening to hieght adjustment for the cav. i guess right now i'll just get me some kyb agx shocks for the cavalier. you guys sell those?
