They're used they won't settle anymore.

Glad you like them, my cobalt is so more planted to drive than my ion is. Especially mid corner bumps that unsettle most it just goes over without a fuss.

As for which side to put where, as said doesn't matter but the dead coils (needed on any lowering spring so they don't come out at full expansion) I put up top so they don't sit in dirt at the bottom, even if that's not actually true just what I've heard.

I know u guys say performance is there, but for the price and that ride height I'd stay on stock suspension.

life is not always about moar low, i never worry about speed bumps or steep hills. i will agree that powells stuff may be more expensive then other options but once you have it you never feel ripped off

YYZ's are night and day versus any other springs. If you think the TC is well-balanced and handles well, a whole new world opens up with YYZs, specially in combination with Konis and a Powell sway bar. That combination is just made for taking aggressive turns. The car practically drives it self, just point it where you want to go. No joke.

I'd say so. Uneven roads and stiff rear shocks is no bueno.
