Hundreds of threads about coils.
Anyway, what are you looking for? Do you prefer extreme low drop or great handling?

Stance seems to be the best according to what people say, but I never had them. I have 2 Cobalt SS, on one I have Pedders Xa and I love them, on the other I have BCs and I like them too, but the quality ride is significantly different. With the SS on BCs, I feel the bumps and potholes much more!!! But the handling is ok. Can't speak for the handling of the Pedders yet because I have winter tires on the car now, and I had them already when I got the Pedders. In the summer, when I'll switch tires, I will know better, but I can tell already that they are better than the BCs. In the summer we'll how better they are.
Let's see if somebody with Stance chimes in.

I had 2 sets of stances and i really like them. You can adjust the dampening which is nice the drop is good and they handle pretty well too

Ok. Because if you liked the drop, I would suggest you keep the sportlines and install a set of konis. koni/sportlines (or pedders) handle better than any coilover.
