iam looking at lowering my 06 ls and i dont wanna spend a lot of money i wat the best bang for my buck. i dont want a radical drop just enough that it looks good. im planning on running 17inch adr rims any advice

 

Advice save your money and do it right, I got sportlines when they were popular and everyone was on them. The ride quality is crap, not to mention the premature strut and shock wear, I just removed my sportlines last weak, I put a good 9-15k On them and I have 30kmiles on the struts and shocks in total, My shocks are gone, I can collapse them with one finger just about, as with the strut, there is barely any resistance left..The handling was better then stock but not worth the future issues.


If I were to go back and do it again, I would not go for coilovers just because in all honestly the car is not worth it(2.2) and I would not go for any drop springs like sportlines. If anything I would go with the stock struts and shocks off a Cobalt ss/tc and maybe pedders maybe.

 

ive got ss/tc springs.
they handle great, and will lower you by over an inch.

 

ok so i shouldnt put the springs on there cuz thet wear out fast or was the just because of just the brand i was lookin at i think there called kforce im not sure what brad i want yet

 

It wear out the struts and shocks regardless, some brands sooner then others, it depends on the amount of drop(where sportlines are up there as one of the lower ones), Are oem set up is built to handle what its given, you start changing things, its not going to last as long as it should.
