Hey What's Up.. My Names Bill And I Have An 2006 Ls Model. I Know It's Not An Ss But Hey It's A Cobalt. But My Question To Everyone Was What Are The Best Springs To Lower In Coablt With Like What Looks Good... How Low Is You Cobalt? How Much Did Yo Pay? If You Have Pics Too That Would Be Great! I Also Need Rims So If You Got Any Ideas Please Help Me Out By Pposting Them. Thanks Everyone.

 

ZZP springs rock, I don't have them on yet but I hope to get them put on soon. They are cheap and quality.

Eibachs are good but they are pricey and honestly ZZPs quality is just as good, you are just paying a premium for the Eibach name.

Lose the all caps and search around. All the info you want has been said 1000 times.

 

easy street air $3200 (i only paid 2k) and i can get my car low enough so that my foot cant fit under the car on the side (sitting on 18s)

 

Eibachs are the Cadillac of springs. I use Pro-kits and love them.

 

Tenzo R=best bang for your buck

 

i have eibach sportlines and pretty much lowered my car almost 2 inches (i could fist the area between my tire and the fender, now i can barely get two fingers in there)

and bio's car is sick looking, he aint kidding when he said he can't get his foot underneath.

there is a vid in this thread that show's bio's car (as well as 39 others )

I have Eibach Proline's and they werent all that bad for 300 dollars. They ride alot better than the stock springs obviously, and you still get about 2 fingers between the top of the tire and the fender. The back does settle a good bit, especially when u have alot of people inside. I would recommend Eibach all the way, i would say Proline if u use your car alot and toss **** in the back all the time, but Sportline if you want that little extra appearance.

 

Tenzo's or Sportlines

I'm biased to like sportlines, becuase i have them on both of my cars, but i know people that have had both sportlines and tenzo's and they liked the tenzo's better

 

tenzo 2- 2.5 i paid about 130 shipped that is low enough to rub almost anything great lowering stance

 

Well Witch One Has Less Coil Bind

 

Not coil bind. Progressive rate.

Tenzo's use a linear rate, meaning the coil is the same from top to bottom. Eibachs use a progressive rate, meaning the coil is tighter at one end. This results in a spring that gives easily at first, but get very tight very fast. That's why Eibachs are considered the better spring performance wise, while Tenzo's just give you a lower car.

You can look at page three of my website for my car, I have the base model Cobalt on 18''s with the Eibach Proline Kit...ill post a few more pics on it for you to see how it sits.

 

i love my ssc springs!!!

 

im happy with my sprint springs i cant complain

 

wow.. thanks guys i think i'm proboly going to go with the Eibachs i'm not sure but nw every one is talking about the whole Tenzo's thing making the car lower to the ground.. i'm looking for the car to be lower so do you think i should just go with the tenzo's? how do they ride compred to the eibach?

 

I hear they ride just as good if not better

 

Hm, interesting information in the topic.

First thing I might be doing is get her lowered and/or tinted, so I'm looking for springs as well.

Has anyone had any experience with the LT Stock 15'' wheels? I know a 2/2.5'' drop in the back might not look like much with those, but I'm planning on buying 18''s very soon.

Thing is, if my ride's way too low, it's gonna suck for my grandma to get in and out of the car, so I'm not looking for a ride that sticks to the ground, but rather one that just looks and handles better than stock. How low do you guys go to get inside your cars? Might share that experience? Is it uncomfortable, etc?

Thanks a bunch

 

i have a question also, is there any clearance issues with the Eibach Sportlines?

 

its nothing to make a big deal about, its 2 inches not a foot.

 

I have not had any clearance issues with the Proline series. I would actually highly recommend these springs the most. The ride is smooth and it looks good too. Eibach hands down has my vote. Look at my last post on this thread if you want to see pics of what the Eibach springs do on page 3.

 

H&R springs are the best. They only lower the car in the front 2 inches and the back one. It gives the car that old school muscle car stance. Looks good...doesn't ground out and it doesn't feel like your sittin on the ground

 

hmm my h&r springs do the opposite
