How are you going to be using them? Are you actually going to track it or are you buying them just to get low?

If you want to get low:

Megan Racing will be fine and that is $800

Want Handling:

BC is the cheapest that I would recommend for hard driving and that is like $950

However Stance, KW v2, and Pedders are all built and perform a bit better but they are $1200+

i only go to the dragstrip. I would like to have the handling as well. I think i would go with the pedders. The kw v2 sound good to.

If AST ever comes out with 5000 series Cobalt setup my credit card and my girlfriend are gonna hate me! They're supposedly in development. I want to send an e-mail and find out but, I'm kinda affraid. This is from 3-09:

We can easily make a 5000 series shock from anything AST has made before (Sportline 1/2 or 4000 series) and are adding new models and more domestics every week; Cobalt SS, Solstice, and 2010 Camaro coming soon!

lsifbody that stance is perfect, im a huge fan. im looking at the ksports but i was wondering is there a difference between the ksports and the ksport pros? if so which ones did you have? it seems to me like the pros have camber plates, which i would want to have to get my alignment right and not kill my tires

Its not going to lower your car as much as other options but they will handle decent. If you want to be as low as LS1 pics above your going to have to look somewhere else, as I believe they wont get that low. KW V2 is probably the best OTS set-up though. Im personally going with Megan due to the even rates and cheaper price. After riding in a car with them they rode very nice.

the V1's are worthless. They hardly lower the car, and the handling increase over stock SS stuff is negligible.

If you want low, Stance GR+
If you want handling, KW V2
