Best springs for my preferences?

1. Ride Comfort
2. Low
3. Price

That's what I care about, in that order, 06 SS/SC by the way, I couldn't find the thread with all the different springs and pictures of the cars, I'm almost positive I've seen it on this forum before though, I don't think it was stickied but a nice side shot of the car lowered on said springs would be great

You can also buy them on ebay under Canuck Motorsports. They are the same springs and the same drop. They stats say different but they are the same spring.

SSC after they settle

Yes you car correct. If you go to the gallery and search SSC Im sure more will pop up. There is also a thread with pictures of all the springs in one post, but no one ever wants to sticky it. It would really help a lot of people.

1. Ride Quality = Pedders
2. Drop + actual performance from Drop and still retain ride quality = Pedders
3. Price = Not Pedders hah there not cheap compared to others.

I barely notice the diff in ride quality from the stock to pedder springs, but it def got rid of all the body roll and just settles the car more, no more bouncy, fron looks sexy and the rear takes out that giant wheel gap

pedders are nothing but hype! dont waste ur time. and, you cant buy progress anymore. they quit makin em. i've seen and ridden in many lowered cobalts, ions and hhr's and ssc has had the best all around to me. pedders was actually one of the worst ride qualities, with tein as well.

I was lucky enough to buy his pedder springs along with LE5 struts and shocks used from interviewatruins for a good price, from going SS/TC springs to pedders, depending on ride quality pedders can make the ride bumpy but handling is just wicked, also does lower the car just right for those that live out in the country like myself. SS/TC springs are good springs to have for ride quality handling is good too. For those that want the best in handling I believe Pedders are the way to go.

sportlines ride worse than pedders, i dont think the pedders are that bad on mine, not much worse than what stock was. Rode/ drove a s/c with coilovers and it was rough.
