And also my first major suspension work too.

Im finally one of you all now.

 

you put them on yet? i just bought the same ones! need to see before and afters!

 

doesnt adding springs to your car wear out your struts.
isnt adding springs period bad for your car

 

good choice!!

 

nope not yet. My friend that is helping me has the tools. It wont be till another week

I remembered I PS your car and I lowered it. I remember

 

not if they are quality springs.

 

yes/no

many times, they don't wear out in a short period of time. But I plan on buying koni's, so it doesn't matter.

thanks. Do you have them?

 

bout how long would it take to wear em out. i was thinking bout getting some sport line or prokit. still undecided. any help.

i really want some coilover but too expense

 

good choice. not hard to do and great results

 

Those are awesome springs.........I have some and I LOVE them! The ride took a little getting used to. Kinda harsh but it really improves handeling

 

It varies between drivers. Some have never replaced them, and some have thrown them out at 10k. I made this thread:

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/lounge-42/should-i-put-springs-my-car-168510/

Got some good info. This is what made me get them. I was unsure just like you

pro kit will give you a lil drop. More of a stock drop. It's more if you want the handling part.

sportlines offer a drop and handling.

Of course the lower you go with springs, the faster it is to wear out your struts.

what do you mean harsh?????

 

I've had mine for almost a year and 9,000 miles. I have funds set aside for new struts ,but I'm not gonna get new one til I have to. I've heard some guys go 2 years on there stock struts.

 

your struts are already blown? Is that why your ride is harsh?

 

Harsh as in potholes feel like speedbumps.................and speedbumps.........5 MPH man..........unless your really brave.

no...................I still have my factory struts...............I'm just saying I put money aside for when my factory struts finally fail.

 

its about damn time

 

oh okay. Good analogy.

I already go slow already in the balt, especially on inclines. ANGLES ANGLES ANGLES

It's going to suck now even more



ive been debating this for awhile. And finally said screw it.

 

Ive just given up on angled driveways..............and I stop short when I park..............I like my front bumper.........I had to find all this out the hard way though.

 

after a while your not gonna believe you ever thought about leavin it stock, welcome to the sexy club

 

Im glad im bringing sexy back

You are making me afraid, very afraid

 

Amen


It's not that bad. You just have to remember your front bumper with the sportlines are only about two inches off the ground. Just keep that in mind when you drive and you'll be fine.

 

right on man. I have the same ones.

Mine are still sitting in the box too, just waiting for my holidays next week to put them on

 

I live near Houston. Soooooooo...

Can you say carpool with someone else?!

Do you have a side pic?



WE can see who tears up their struts first

 

ya give me a minute

STOCK




SPORTLINES



I dropped a full 2" in the front and 2.5" in the rear..........Bye Bye fender gaps

 

looks good.

I remember your car. And your thread. You have the football license plate cover.

 

You might remember my car.............i did $14K in damage a half year ago......got T boned......but no licence plate cover.

and Thanks!
