what would happen? would they lower the car, or raise it? Im thinking of buying them and seeing what happens, then if it doesnt lower it, just cut them

 

It'd definitely raise it! Haha you wouldn't like them, save for other springs or coils

 

haha, i was just thinking buy some off a junk yard for like 40 bucks an cut them ftw!!! or find a used set of lowering springs.

 

Lol people are gonna flame at the spring cutting. It seems to be taboo around here

 

I think you need to wait and save a little money, and purchase real springs.

Don't rush into things. It took me 5 years to get my car where I always wanted it.

 

problem i seem to have with my car

Op you should instead buy 2 sets of springs and double stack them. lol

 

Do u even offroad bro?

 

haha ya, but this wouldnt be perment , just intill i find the right springs at the right price.

 

ss sc springs will drop it just a bit compared to the stock ls springs. base cabalts have the same wheel gap of an h3 hummer with a lift

 

thats what i was wondering, but i wonder how they would be cut.

 

i sold my stock ss sc springs to a member here with a 2.4 balt and you could notice from the pics the before and after made it look as a ss sc sits which is a bit lower than base models and 2.4 balts

another member back in miami had cut ss sc springs and he looked like he was droped on coilovers, and lowered it more than any spring out there but the ride quality sucked, but he didnt care

 

Then stay stock until you have the money.

The base cobalt springs have different springs rates than the SS/SC, and you will end up having a car that handles worse than stock.

 

haha alright, if you know anyone selling a use set of lowering springs, let me know please. thanks.

 

Dont buy used springs, any spring you get usually only is good for a few years say 4 or 5. You get 2 year old springs and they are already rusting and ride like crap.

CM/SSC springs like like $200. buy those.

 

Used springs are fine if they haven't been used much.

Don't cheap out, whatever you get, you're always going to want to go lower

 

Haha... wut?!?

You can get more than that out of springs.

 

i agree with you on that, and im not gonna wanna go to low, cause i live in a hick town with plenty of bumps, but i wanna go with a good set of ebaich sportlines, i personally really like how they look on the cobalt.

 

Good set of sportlines? No

The ride quality isn't good. Some people disagree but the majority will agree

 

Its not as good as others definitely. I still like them though. Feel nice and stiff during turns and well ive felt worse springs. And well I love the drop lol

Was thinking of selling mine and getting some cm springs since they seem to be just a little bit higher than sportlines and I need that little bit cuz I scrape my resonator getting into my "garage"

 

You said they ride like crap lol

 

Yeah but I hadn't driven my car in like 2 months so when I drove it I was like hmm not as bad as I remember lol

 

then what should i go with? i want a good ride, and a drop like sportlines?

 

Cm

 

Yea, Sportlines ride like crap. Granted they corner pretty well, but still... and any bumps at highway speeds feel like you are gonna bounce off the road.

But the drop is nice for springs, I believe one of the lowest available.

 

B&g, low as crap. Other than that meh but the low is nice
