I really want to lower my 2006 LS but i want to be safe about it...

is it safe to get just springs? what will happen if i just do springs? I'm only 17 so idk whats the best way to go because i cant afford koni's

oh yeah im looking at the eibach sportlines btw

im ordering some ksports tomorrow. much cheaper and i heard they not that bad. ive heard mixed reports about sportlines. some say its the worst ride ever and other say its smooth as butter.


but heres the link to the ksports:

and i hear ya, im 17 too and dnt make the moni to get struts right now, but from what i hear ur good. of course the struts will go quicker when dropped then wit stocks. but from what ive heard theyll last a while, so im jus gonna drop it and when i save up some money get new struts, but thats in the future.


what im doing tho is since im not puttin in new struts, im gonna get a strut tower brace, to help give the front struts from extra support.

i just put ss/sc springs on my ls, i like them, and its not such a huge drop with stock struts...to me its the only way i would do it without the koni's

mikejoness61

what type of reputation do k sports have

and also how did you get your hands on ss/sc springs i didnt know those dropped the ls?

BigTizzle903

they dnt drop it much. umm, the ksport coilovers are in alot of magazines from what i heard and they are gettin into alot of racing, such as formula one. so they must be pretty good. so im guessing the springs are just as good. 2-2.5 inch drop. ride quality isnt horrible. and theyre alot cheaper. so imma go wit em, if i dnt like em ill jus take em off n sell em n get sportlines or something. but im sure ill like em. lol. im ordering tomorrow if i have the money. so when i put em on ill let u know, but that wont b for a couple weeks. i'd check em out, order em n if u dnt like em get some new ones. i was thinkin about gettin the prokits cuz i didnt want a crazy drop but its such a small drop its not worth it.

theres my rear wheel gap with the ss/sc spring, id say it lowered it about 3/4 of an inch all the way around, and improved the handling a ton

mikejoness61

these are all great responses

are the sportlines a rough ride and is that all you put on?

how do you like the ride with the k sports is in rough and is that all you added?

wdsoccer

ya all i did was teh sportlines. nothing else. and the ride is a bit more bumpy but its good handeling

BigTizzle903

idk. to me the sc springs dont drop enough. and the prokits are an even bigger drop but it wasnt enough. and the sportlines are too much for me. lol. thats why im goin wit the ksports. cheaper and a bigger drop. but u'd have to talk to someone who has em about ride quality. not sure on that right now. ill let u know tho.

mikejoness61

on a scale of 1-10, ten being the worst ride ever what do you rate your ride with the sportlines

PinkStripedCobalt

there are alot of ppl selling theres on the site, i know Dead Zen has a set for sale!

i ordered KSPORT springs about 2 months ago and it looks hot, not a lot of ppl have dropped cobalts so i kind of stand out by where i live. I say go for it, the ride is smooth for the most part but if u drive over train tracks(depending on tracks) your gonna feel but other than that, its a great thing to make your car look nicer

Go with the KSPORT, you wont regret it, mine is 2.5 in the back n 2.0 in the front.

I got sportlines... ride quality is just about the same as stock, a little rougher only over bumps, very slightly though. Don't let anyone say the ride quality is **** cause they're wrong. I'm coming from an ss/sc so it was rougher from the factory then your car prob...

I have my stock springs for sale with the lowest mileage you'll prob see (only a couple hundred miles)... PM me if your interested.

Black07LS

I would get these for the good price + good rep.

I have Koni's and Sportlines.

Great ride, of course its gonna be a little rougher than stock but thats the price you pay for losing that monster truck wheel gap.

I have TenzoR springs on mine.....the ride can be bumpy at times and other times its smooth....but i rather like the bumpy ride....my first car had stiff suspension so im used to it....but id recommend the tenzo springs....i got them from a local cobalt owner but they came from Gravana....just my $0.02

i have tenzoR springs on my 07 and i am very pleased with them. got em off ebay real cheap.

I have koni struts with sportslines

BigTizzle903

take that back. im orderin the ksports next friday. lol. and im pretty sure the ksports drop the balt even farther then the sportlines. so imma go with them. but its all up to u dude.

Fallen33

You and me need to get some 18s to fill up the rest of that gap.

The drop's nice but 16 inch wheels just don't fill it up.

gRuNg3b0y

yeah I thought about putting 225/40/18 in it but I'm afraid that the tires might scrape on the fender when making sharp turns (U-turn) maybe I'll get 17s
