Do these really ride close to stock? My sportlines bounce a lot and I feel every bump. Not annoying but it be better if I couldn't feel every single thing on the street lol

Ya these ride pretty good. It's a tad bit bouncier but hardly noticeable.

I don't notice any difference in ride quality, actually feels a bit better than stock. Well worth it.

Yours are upside down though, hence it being bouncy. I'm right there with ya though... fixing them this weekend.

i cant wait to get these, Megan springs with 50k on them is just DISGUSTING. like its not safe. If anyone ever drove my car they would think somethings broken, i hit a bump on the highway yesterday at 50mph and thought the frame smashed something but it was just the springs, almost smashed my head into the windshield.

I was looking into that actually. Doesn't have anything to do with CM springs but rather cobalts in general. I've heard of people even on coilovers who have this problem.

Nice ^.

I flipped my rear springs the right way up now... Rides much smoother than before.
