soooo nice to know that you are the god of cobalts if i ever have suspension issues i'll come to you.

seriously though, they're megan coils from a civic ep3. i was tired of seeing coilovers on cars and still an inch of gap. i went ahead, mig welded some tabs on the things from ss/sc struts, did some work with the caster/camber plates and now i have the lowest cobalt. the rear springs are cut. the progress coils were binding, so there was no harm done to the handling. the camber on the other hand, is not the best thing for handling. i had to modify the caliper brackets to follow the hub angles, which is also not the best thing for handling. i'm never going to track this car. i drive it like a granny which is what you have to do with a car this low. if you don't like it, cool man. i love slammed cars and rat rodding. go do your street racer hero thing. i'll just not get tickets and look cool doing it!

btw heres some pics.

bent hinges maybe? from a front end hit.

Exactly why it's a dumb idea. All people will think is "It was in a wreck, and someone did a **** poor job realigning the front."
