Coilovers

I want to start by apologizing for posting this here, Im just not sure how to post in classified's.

I am looking for a set of coilovers for a 2010 chevy cobalt lt. im not looking to kill my pocket just something that will go a bit lower than the H&R prings i have. they gave me a 2.5 inch drop all around. im looking for another inch or so.

fe5 struts would be like .5" lower. Only other option is Megan coilovers which suck, those are $800 or so.

Best bet is BC Coilovers for $995 but id consider that killing the pocket. No option for low and cheap aside from cutting springs.

Cheap
low
rides good


^pick two of those. Cant have all 3.

That I don't know. I'm on coils. But that's what breds said. I just know TC FE5 is little different from SC FE5 there's a thread on all the different suspension types. Google "fe5 suspension cobalt ss"
