So the new coilovers are on the car!!!! Rides a lot better, and I have complete adjustability of the front and rear dampening now. 
SOOOOOOO...........if anyone here in Calgary has a SS S/C or a T/C Cobalt and wants some drop springs for cheap....I have a set now that I want to get rid of.
They are these drop springs:

They drop the car 1" in the front and 1.3" in the back. I had no problems with them whatsoever.
Here is what the car looks like with the springs in:
I figure $100 CDN is a pretty good price for these, considering there is no shipping.
There is one thing though, the front springs are still attached to my front struts so you will just have to remove them from the struts.

so I had a cwb test today... 4postions of welds... my welder blew the remote whiel I was getting set up... followed by my welder messing aorund and only giving me 5 amps to weld with... I needed 120amps... follewed by me having to use the shops welder... with no numbers... so I was welding cold the whoel time... oh ya and it was my first time testing... I was shaking so bad for soem reason... so my guess is I failed at least 3.... sigh... I should of passed the uphand weld though... thats almost a garenteed burn in.... I am quite mad at myself and at my boss for suppling me with bad equipment... oh ya and my welder doesnt have an amp readout on it either anymore... god damn.... I have no clue what my settings are... I was embarassed at work...
the worst part is: everyone knew I was having equipment issues. even the boss said sorry for harassing me after he found out about the problems and how nervous I was.... and even with all these issues I still somehow had nicer welds then a few other welders on site with working equipment and more experience....
