2.2l on SS/SC springs
I'm purchasing some SS/SC springs this week and I wanted to know how they look on a LS or LT, I've seen some pictures where the front looks mad low and the back looks like they are raised up. Kind of awkward looking? I just want to see what they look like and peoples initial reactions.

It's like a half an inch drop
So basically put one person in each seat of your car and thats what it'll look like

place a bet...
the only drop off a spring that looks good IMO is from Eibach Sportlines...

SS/SC spring are basically going to even out your car. maybe drop you .5 in the front and 1" in the rear. There is a difference in the springs handling as they are better springs. if you are looking for a slight handling increase and slight drop for little to no money, this is the way to go.

And the SS/SC springs will be fine with the 2.2 struts or should he get the struts that come with the ss/sc also?

Just to give you an idea, the eibach pro kit isn't much lower, if any, than the ss/sc springs but they are just a bit stiffer.
A dropped cobalt will sure feel fun, but each person has different tastes for ride quality.
SS/SC springs/Koni Yellows. Then be happy. and still out handle the great majority of lowered cars.

I dont feel like dicking around with Koni's. I kow they are a bitch to install and I dont have the cash flow right now for them. I figure cheap SS/SC springs on my stock struts will hold me over until. I wanna do it in stages, I'll get Konis a couple months after the SS springs are installed. Then when the Koni's are in, I will sell the SS springs and upgrade to sportlines...I have a method to my madness. sort of

I just got my ss/sc springs in the mail.
It'll make a nice lil difference.. nothing huge
Ride should be better too, better springs
I figured since I was doing my swaybar links and control arm bushings, I should do the springs too
Your stock shocks should be fine for now, its not a huge drop, so they should wear too fast..
With the Tenzo's you'd have to worry more

YEA I LOVE MINE, OF COURSE YOU FEEL THE BUMPS ALITTLE MORE BUT NOTHING DRAMATIC, you also feel the road a bit more when driving, handling and appearance are the emphisized gains
i just put mine on today and the difference is amazing. you feel bumps a little more but the car doesn't rock as much when you shift or floor it. it was worth every penny to me.
