Problem with the sportlines doods
I drove around a little today and don't have any complaints. I just put the backs on because I did all the rotars and pads and it was like 100* in my garage and I was sweating *****. I'm goin to put the fronts on tomorrow morning so I can see how it looks. Personally I like it like this it looks pretty much level now.
cause they ride like **** compared to stock/pedders and they coilbind like a mother ****** lol
on the track when i first went with them you could literally hear the coils hitting each other in the rear every hard turn it was horrible lol

You WANT to leave those on. When I got my sportlines the first time I thought they were just some protective sleeves and took them off. Old design had some tubing coiled around the top coils that compress the most with some oil in the tubing. I guess that's the new design but to make the story short if you take them off, install the springs and put them on the car, top coils will bind and make a horrible cracking noise when turning. Those sleeves just prevent the coil on coil rubbing when they bind under tension.
A lot are shorter but sportlines definitely bind a lot from previous experience and trust me taking out the strut assembly for the second time just to take off the springs to put those gay sleeves on definitely taught me a lesson on not removing things unless it specifies to do so lol
I noticed the sportlines were the same size as my originals they even looked a bit taller. I didn't take m off because i thought they were to protect the coils lol and I was right
And mine are real and have the same black rubber on them. I bought them from Eibach website

Im not broke, just cant justify that much for springs, and when i bought my sportlines, Pedders were out for the Cobalt yet. had them over 4 years now.
BTW: BEST is Opinion based, its all in what you want.
Post up some pics of the car after install, they did wonders on my 2.2, went from 4x4 to looking how it should've looked in the first place
