dont waste your time/money
 

Any ls/lt guys, don't waste your time/money putting ss/tc springs on your car. There is minimal drop and handling isn't all that much better. Just put some on mine today and regret it. Oh well.

My 2 cents

were they new? or used? more information!

oh and who did you get them from? it should be actually a lot better, unless lap's are different from my 06

How much did you think you would go down??? The springs are just one piece of what makes the handling better on that car, you need moar upgrayddddz. I didn't put the tc but the sc ones on and I went down about an inch. That was exactly that I was looking for :)

Do you have stock ls/lt struts and shocks? (ive got tc equipment). Sway bars? Good tires?

If you just put the TC springs on and not the shocks/struts or sway bars, then thats the reason.

I have a 09 pontiac g5 gt. Would there be any difference if i swapped out my stock springs and struts for the ss/tc or ss/sc? I've heard before there is no difference so would it be a waste time/money for me?

Explains a bit

THIS! only the springs? ya wont help much at all. The shocks/struts are the bomb ass piece.

Hahahaha

i only started with the springs and it was night and day difference driving with about an inch inch and a quarter drop

^this. All I did was springs, but I was told it would drop the car an inch and a half.... I dont really notice any better handling either :thumbsdow

well although springs are important... I dont think you would see much of an handling increase vs if you stayed stock springs and went with the tc shocks/struts. The whole point though, is the do both for increased handling. Springs only would be 99% for looks in your case.

Which is all I was going for and it really didnt lower shit, lol

if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure the springs at least are the same as the s/c model. Were you looking for more of an aggressive stance, or better handling for your buck? Cause ss/tc struts with pedders offers better handling, but a good drop, well you're looking for aftermarket springs. If you want the best of both worlds, then you're most likely looking for coilovers.

did you drive the car around at all to allow the springs to settle or are you all pissed cause it didnt drop without settling...

Hi guys, I just slapped a Tc turbocharger on my exhaust manifold. The car sounds better, but it doesn't really go much faster.

Just wanted to let you know.

Naa I drove around and they settled....ill re-measure but I don't think it dropped at all

i see what you did dur

You're a fucking idiot. Just thought you should know.

give it a few days.

Maybe so, but at least I didn't spend any money on stock Cobalt parts in hopes of lowering my own car. ;) :lol:

What do you expect from this thread? People expressing thoughts of sorrow due to your mishap? This is Cobaltss.net, not here's a tampon for your bleeding vagina.net

^^:lol:

No dumbfuck, I was warning everyone else who has an LS not to bother wasting there time. You don't like the thread then gtfo

this man is right.

Also, you can not expect to test the handling of your car by swerving it across a two lane street pretending to be ken block

Go run a solo sprint event or a auto x before and after, report back with details

i believe everyone who owns an ls knows that about a stock part. Also, if a drop was all that you were looking for, then you should've looked for aftermarkets. They're not that expensive. Modern Performance sells some eibachs for like 200.

:lol: That's funny!
