I believe a couple sets for Cobalt were made as prototypes, but they never entered production.

Do you want it a lot lower than stock or do you want better handling?

the stance coilovers out right now are really the only ones that will do you any good until you start spending serious money on penske or ohlins coilovers..

if you wanna save money but dont want a real aggressive drop go with pedders springs on your stock struts.

as far as tiens go only 2-3 sets were ever produced and then they abandoened the project

I'd take those Tein ones if I had the cash.. But I'm basing that off of my Tein knowledge from being into imports..

the stance coilovers are the best out for these cars until you wanna spend serious money. and reign...your might be correct in them only releasing one pair im not sure. pedders springs are the ONLY springs for the tc that improve handeling. all others make it worse.

If I'm not mistaken...I think Pedders makes coilovers for our cars (in addition to the springs)...I mean their springs are the best for performance currently out for our cars (not a huge drop though)...I can only imagine what their full coilover setup is like...although I believe it's like 1200+ dollars or something.

lol.. yeah $1200 a piece.. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that $4800 for a full set of coilovers is probably a little out of budget for most folks. I know it definitely is for me..

No, it's 1200 for the whole set hahahahah

and they're nearly identical to the megan and ark systems. Nobody really knows right now how good they are.

and yes Steve, you already have a front sway bar. You also already have a rear one, but the OTTP add on bar improves that.

it felt better because the car was lower. The Eibach spring rates are very close to the stock rates. IT was probably the butt dyno justifying the purchase

That's how it worked with my noodle header...

I don't know where you're getting your numbers. Don't tell me to do research on suspension.

You have no idea what setup i'm running.

Stance is the best thing out right now for these cars. Stance's track record for quality and top notch customer is unbelievable.

I never refered to you setup specifically nor do I care.. If you weren't such a wiseass and took so seconds to read you'd see that they have 2 setups for coilovers. The lesser version that you have, and the full race version which is what I was refering to that costs $1200 a piece.. so yes, like I had said... do your research

Teins are amazing no matter what anyone says, sure there are other great springs out there also, but most dont want to spend 400 bucks for springs and xxxx for coilovers. Tein is a great brand with amazing handeling and performance along with a kick ass stance
