I have these springs & they are great & a much better ride then eibach sportlines. I have ridin in 2 cobalts w/the eibachs & neither rode better then the D2 springs.
My box says made in china, all I am saying is who cares where they were made............................ main thing is they give the car a slick stance,ride nice, are reasonable priced & I picked up 2 tenths of a second(13.7 to a 13.5) off my 1/4 mile time w/them.

I'm in the market for springs.

I've been looking at the Pedders or the D2 springs.
Cannot decide.
The pedders say they give a 1.5"front and 1.6"rear drop. (doesn't specify if that's for the SS model or not)

but if the D2 springs drop 2" on the SS models, i'm in.


do you ship to APO?

Appreciate for the clarification. The only thing I'm concern when it comes to lowering springs is coil binding. Eibach, Tein, BC, and KSports, have been proven to coil bind in the rear suspension. The HR's and Progress, I'm unsure. Now, I may get hooked on these just waiting on some Christmas money.

I have never seen these bind on any application even with very aggresive setups

After installing (Installed my 16"MSW's during this process too with 215/55 blizzak's)

Rear (right when it sat on it's own weight)


Front (right when it sat on it's own weight)


Rear(after driving a few miles, do i spot some wheel tuck??? either that or it's because the stock tires were in the trunk/backseat )






here's a before shot with the same angle for comparison
