Talking New to cobalt...what next?

Hey guys and girls...I just purchased a completely stock 2007 Cobalt SS 2.4L. 5 sp(upgraded from a 99Z24coupe). I do not have a ton of money left in the bank for mods just yet...but I think springs, new tires and maybe wheel spacers to start? Any recomendations on brands? Or maybe better things to do with my money? Thanks for all the input!

- Anthony

Why wheel spacers? That's typically not a good idea unless it's absolutely beyond the shadow of a doubt necessary.

ok...cool...I just hate how the wheels are tucked so far under the fenders...but I guess I can hold off for wider wheels and tires.

Thanks a lot...yah...let me know what size you are using...are there any issues with cornering with the wider tires?

Thanks UnLimited!
