I want to lower my car and I'm leaning toward Eibach Sportlines. I had these on my cavalier and it looked good, but it rode like a horse and buggy. How is the ride quality with these on the cobalt? Is there another company I should consider?

 

I was pleasently surprised at the ride...much better then my old cavy on goldlines. But other then speedbumps and huge dips in the road they are nice.

 

i just lowered mine a couple weeks ago. its not as smooth as stock but you get used to it. i dont even notice it anymore.

 

I thought mine were basically the same as stock. They are a progressive rate spring, so they are softer until compressed. I enjoy the ride. Campared to my buddy's SRT with Hotchkis springs, mine rides like a Cadillac.

 

if you want a stiffer ride while maintaing comfort try ark. my sister has ark spring that are 10% stiffer not as harsh i have sportlines and yes try are bumpy

 

People on here seem to like them. I cant speak on behalf of the cobalt but.... i absolutely hated them on my camaro. I personally will wait and get coilovers.

 

They almost ride too nice for an aftermarket spring if you ask me. I kinda miss the bounce bounce that I had in my lowered RX-7.

 

Ive logged 23K on my sportlines between the two cobalts i've owned. You WILL feel the difference in ride harshness. Those potholes that would make a normal car go thunk Will make ur cobalt feel like its about to rip in half. But on decent roads and most highways you cant beat the commanding feel. I live in PA which has more crap roads than nice, and I've kept my eibachs on if that helps.

 

you feel just about every bump but our cars arnt exactly cadillacs and to me it handles better and launches better at the track

*tread jack* i drove through pa on my way to ny and they do have the shittiest roads of all the states we drove through

 

Thanks for the info guys, you made my decision that much easier.

 

not an option for chicagoland way way too many potholes, stock is stiff enough.

Fortunately for you, you didn't have to drive through Michigan.

 

Definately!

 

Sportlines ride nice on the cobalt, we have sold 100's of kits...

For extra durability and confort, get the Koni yellows also...
