Any Coilovers?
Im getting a 06 cobalt SS/SC soon and just want to know if there are any coilovers available for our car? If so can someone give me a link or point me in the right direction? Money is not an option.

If you mean money is no object, then here you go.

Only $2,250 US but they are a full coilover assembly meaning you won't be waiting around for struts to be released for our cars. Have fun!

I have the JBP coil overs, the ride is beautiful, ride quality is close to stock but still way stiffer, the car is a dream to drive now, they even give you an option to get a pair of 4" racing springs. if you ask for them.

ride height is easily adjustable and does not effect chamber of the wheels,
as for the dampeners there is no adjustability, the JBP coil over uses a Bilstein insert which is a progressive dampener. what that means at low speeds when your driving in the city, the car will feel smooth and not harsh like on most coil overs. but as soon as you start driving aggressively the different valving in the dampener keeps the car stiff and extremely responsive. therefor you get a dampener that does not need adjustment, because it does it all for you.
it pretty cool, you should read up on Bilstein they're the best in the market.
these coil overs are design for the every day driver that frequents the track, and does not want to have to always adjust the dampening force of there coil overs.
so before people start complaining about price and adjust ability.
if you want to get a set of race coil overs wait or modify your car for something that is currently available like they did for the grand am cup series cobalt of the street tuner cobalt. (which by the way used Bilstein dampeners)
if you ask about the race spring option, you'll get 2 additional 4" springs which are far stiffer and greatly improve the handling. ( I drove areound with them for 2 months but they're too stiff for the roads in my area. but on a track with smooth surface, it felt like you could take a corner at any speed a still feel in complete control. it was crazy.)
