SS/SC's? Post pics after ther're installed!!!! I'm interested in this type of set-up. What's the ulitimate difference between lowering springs and coil overs (I know the latter are adjustable - but by how much)? Thanks Ray...keep up the good work!!!

i think the GC coilovers would drop one of the new cougars around 4" maybe a bit more. i think at the max height it was 1-1.5" lower than stock


i would say around 4" would probably be max for the cobalt's too, maybe even 3.5"

I am very interested in coil overs.

And I think my terminiolgy for N way adjustable and yours are different.

I think 5 way adjustable shocks is the best I have seen:

1) Preload
2) Ride Hieght
3) Rebound Dampening
4) Compression Dampening
5) Some other one I can't remember right now.

When you say 36 way so you mean 36 adjustment points ? I guess I am asking if your setup has all those settings.
