Trade BC coilovers for Lowered Suspension?

Just seeing if anyone would be interested in trading for my BCs with about 7000 miles for a suspension with lowering springs? I drive 80+ miles a day and think springs might be a more reasonable choice. I'm wanting spring assembly and rear shocks too. My setup for yours.

Trade for stock 2005 Balt SS stuff and cash on my end? I'll be rolling through Louisiana on the way from Florida to Phoenix in about a week and a half. Let me know.

It's rigid and bouncy at times like all coils. You dodge pit holes and usually ride to the inside or outside of lanes. I enjoy them on curvy roads but my commute is 80+ miles a day and I'm wanting something with more of a stock compatible ride

You and I spoke on fb, I think the only thing that will work for you are YYZ springs or maybe CM/SSC springs if you are looking to stay lowered but IMPROVE ride quality. YYZ are the best drop for keeping the quality that's for sure. SSC is next with CM (being almost identical) H&R, B&G, Megan, Sportlines, ect ect all ride like crap.

People will say "Oh im on sportlines and they ride fine!" Then you see they live in Miami or something with flat roads.

Sweet, let me know. Give me the go ahead and I'll ship 'em out asap to you. CM springs only have about 6000 miles on them as well.

I knew you would $1000 for coilovers new isn't in everyones budget, people will jump at the chance to save a few hundred off of that if its the case, especially when their current stuff is worth something in trade.

Springs like I mentioned have around 6000 miles on them, only used them for about 3 months. Struts should have right around 50k, but they're still in awesome shape. I could get photos of it all if you'd like.

I would meet up and trade you.

I just thought about it. I have a redline, not a cobalt, so us swapping wouldn't work.

In the posters defense I don't think you made it clear about wanting a more comfortable ride hence all the recommendations to swap for B&G and Sportlines here and on FB haha. B&G's will ride worse than coilovers. and Sportlines will not be far behind.
