Tommy.. How long did it take for your springs to fully settle? I think I have only 100 miles on mine right now.

Can't say I remember exactly, I didn't really pay attention to it. It shouldn't take any longer than a month at most.

Tommy why do these look so high in the back? Or is it just the angle?

Maybe, Tommy's rear just looks super high to me, I don't really wanna get them if they sit that high in the rear. 06RYSS's looks perfect.

They sit .2 inches lower in the rear than sportlines do. And isn't H&R's a 2fr/1.4 rear? CM is 1.5 rear.

Does B&G drop the rear 2.0" on a cobalt SS/TC? It just says 05-10 cobalt . If so i'm getting those.

Pretty sure it does. The pictures i've seen on them, the cars are low. They ride like complete ass and have coil bind but if you are doing it for looks go for it lol. I'd get the canuck motorsport springs for sure thou. Best of both worlds.

Lol. must be a typo. Trust me I debated on which springs to buy for 4 months. The ride quality is damn near better than stock. I can still have a packed car without it bottoming out ,running 235 tires with no problem, and no rack spacers or anything needed.

Thanks!!. Lol I have never seen that before. I think I got almost a 2inch drop in the rear if not close to it. I can only get two fingers in between the fender and wheel. I ordered my springs back in early March.

I wonder if they changed? I wanted about 1.6" to 2.0" drop in rear. I feel like my car is a **** star on all fours lol.

Gonna e mail them and ask. Cuz if it drops .5" I would be pissed!
