It doesn't matter what color they are. And it depends on the drop you want.

^THIS! There are complaints about every single brand of springs except for pedders. If all you want is lowww, then buy the lowest dropping springs and don't complain about the ride or handling. If you want better handling and comfy ride, save up, buy pedders, and be happy

Sportlines are awful as well, do some searching before you praise, and when you change your broken spring next year watch them fall apart.

I've had mine for 6 years on my cobalt with no problems and for 3 years on another one of my cars again with no issues. I love them and will continue buying them for future cars.

I made a thread about this the other day, I believe I have Eibachs(I bought the car lowered 3 months ago) and it has a nice drop not too much not too little, But the ride quality is horrific, No Lie I get sick sometimes cause my car is sooo bumpy, It SUCKS, I'm looking into getting some Pedders or CCS.

You probably have blown shocks.
