CED is the spot. Great service and fast shipping.

My bumbstops are cut from my Sportlines, should I buy new ones or not worry about it?

Wont the LNF struts come with new bumpstops inside?

Rear bumpstops shouldn't cost much, I better talk to Tom at CED.

yeah I know, I was just stating that the front should be ok because the struts will have new stops but for the rear I'll need to talk to Tom.

I'll let everyone know if these live up to the hype.This is the look you'll get with Pedders.

What's the hype about these..?

Looks like some ordinary springs to me..

Maybe I'm missing something?

just cuz the TC is such a fine tuned suspesion factory it is hard to find a spring with a better spring rate to HELP handling of a TUNED suspesion. well pedder did it with these
eibachs are for looks on a TC.

Ohhh, gotcha.

So buying these for a base model would be a waste?

No these are great for any Cobalt/G5 improved handling and no coil bind like other lowering springs.
