ok so i just bought hahn IC, DP, 3'' Cat Back, CAI, Charge Piping as well as the PPC Tuner. i will recieve the parts in a week or so. i was kind of bummed that they said they didnt have their BOV ready yet... so i was thinking of going with the HKS SSQ BOV. dopes anyone have any other recomendations? and antoehr thing. I want to lower it but i do not know how far down i want or should go. i dont want to be avoiding parking lots because of speed bumps and here in colorado we have quite a few pothholes. so if anyone could get me any freindly advice this would be great! thanks!

 

eibach sportlines is perfect

 

Well i was looking at that and there are several eibach sping kits avaiable... will i have to change anything else besides the springs with the suspension?

 

here r some pic of car lowered on some sportlines and other springs

dont have to change nothing

 

i really like those H&R ones. where would i find those?

 

You will love you Hahn stuff. I have almost all of what you have, except i'm running the stock IC. I am also in the same boat as you deciding wether to get sportlines or not

 

Far from.

They are a handling downgrade, but a looks upgrade

 

Nice upgrades!! Geez! how much was your bill?!

 

my bill was $3300 since i bought all at once they gave me a nice discount... well what springs would be good because i want to lower my can an inch and some change. and im going to need help when it comes to the PPC. i dont really know how that thing works and i read the damn manual. i just dont know whether to read my car first or to plug it into the computer. lol i got my steps all jacked up. i aint trying to jack nothing up s i wanna be sure ya know?

 

If all you care about is being lowered, get the sportlines.

They just have worse spring rates than stock.

Sportlines give a good drop though

 

no man i dont want just a drop. i dont want to lose my handling either. i want an upgrade just lower. the price really aint an issue

ottperformance.com carries em.

 

If they were able to make a GTO make about 1.0G in the skidpad I wonder what our car could do.

 

i called the 2 dealers here in colorado and they said all their products are on back order... and their is a 6 to 8 week wait. so anytihng else other than this that could be done right awayy? and whats is the difference between the coilover and lowering springs?

 

adjustments on the fly, coilovers can drop more and have the best handling basically for a serious person who wants to go on corners fast. i think from what your looking for just get springs which give u a nice drop. but once you have the springs on you cant go an lower unless u want to ruin them.

 

im not trying to ruin anything. but i want the ride to be nice you know? i dont want it to be all crazy bumpy and ****. but want the look. or is the bumpy ride after the drop inevitable?

 

I put H&R springs on my ss/tc, it drops it a little more in the front than the sportlines do. I had sportlines on my last cobalt and I find the H&R's to be smoother, my gf also agrees. I'm in canada so I drive on terrible roads everyday.

and yes a bumpy ride is inevitable

 

alright. damn man. the things i do for cosmetics...

 

So Darin, the H&R's are still bumpy, but better than the sportlines?? Also how are your struts/shocks doing? I"ve heard they go real early with lowering springs?

 

so would it jsut be good to go with coilovers?

 

I don't see why ya got the Hahn PPC...could have saved a ton of money!

 

i had both now, the ppc tuner and trifecta, and trifecta is hands down way faster.

I have nothing bad to say about the ppc, had it for a year with 0 issues at all even with the upgrades,

but at a grand it too pricey, and you can't resell it.

 

i would say for the springs get progress, they kick ass

 

No, good coilovers are good...99% of what the site has are ******* junk and have retardedly high compression dampening...so the car rides stiff.

People think stiff ride=good handling.

People also think lowering ALWAYS helps handling.

 

ok first off i have 100k to throw at my car. i know i could buy a new one but i like my cobalt. i just want it to be the best i can make it you know? i dont need no voper corvette or nissan GT-R. i just want to stick with this platform and make it something that stands out you know? i didnt ask for critisism. i asked for advice. but as with the PPC i was thinkiing about just telling them not to send it. but then i wont feel the full potential of my mods either. i can jsut buy a trifecta or getr HPT. but the think im worried about is my UCU not being able to be flashed to what it was. thats why i got the PPC. so logical thing states... get another ECU??? so now with that said. does anyone have some advice on the coil overs over lowetring springs. i dont like the ride height. i want to keep the handling where its at. i dont need inprovement. i jsut want a cosmetic l;ower and maintain driveability without ruining struts shocks or any of that.
