SS/SC Lower than the ss n/a ??

just wondering cuz someone that lives nearby has a blue ss/sc and ive seen him drivin around a few times and his car seems lower.. i know it has the front lip.. which i just got for mine.. but even then it seems lower.. do they come lower?? or do you think he put some new springs on?

They do, not a whole lot...but some...plus they come stock with larger wheels, so the wheel gap is less noticable.

Jackalope posted that the SS/SC and SS/na springs are exactly the same. So, that means that either the larger wheel size just makes it look lower to you because of the difference in wheel gap, or it has lowering springs.

lol maybe but all of them were 06 accept one that was already lowered an 05 (doesnt count) and an 07. so either way they arent the same height, you can look online. it says certain springs ss non charge get like 2.3 inches but 1.8 on the sc cobalts

"paging Jackalope"


The part numbers on the springs for the 2.0 and 2.4 are the same. nuff said. It's a combination of wheel size and front lip that is deceptive.

Maybe the guy was fat and weighed the car down more.
