Get Powell YYZ springs. Their a bit lower but have the best handling of any spring you can get. Paired with a Powell rear swaybar and all Koni shocks and you'll outhandle most coilovers and have a pretty good ride too.

I thought shipping was a bit prices but it is 26 lbs. I was spectacle of that until I actually felt the box.

Here's mine lowered on Road Magnet springs. No complaints so far. And the ride isn't bad at all.

Has anyone tried the eibach performance spring lowering kit? I own a 2008 chevy cobalt sport. I want a nice drop and good drive, something like stock, the price on these are pretty good, anyone have any other opinion?

eibach pro kit is a joke. if you want to lower your car dont get it. it drops the car about .4" inches.

b&g is the way to go on a t/c. base and s/c models can do the h&r sports also. I suggest koni shocks for the rear no matter what.

AND THIS IS WHY I SAID WHAT I DID JUST EARLIER.
B&G lowers the most. They look great on all applications though

B&G's have plenty of travel in the back and have more travel in the front than megan racing springs. I did cut my bump stops about 1/2 an inch but it still doenst make a big diference.

I've always wondered why the Ark Performance springs don't get more use, anyone running them that'd like to comment, it seems they have a nice drop and depending on how they ride I don't see why more people wouldn't run them.

I think I heard somewhere that they are exactly like sportlines apart from the colour. Could be wrong though.

When I had these on my car, all I got was an alignment and they were fine. Had them on for over 20k miles, never a problem.

Im actually about to pick another set up, sick of the stock look again lol

I've got Eibach Sportlines with Koni Struts and I love the ride. It can be a little stiff at times, but it has never failed me in cornering performance.

there is no camber kit for the rear unless you make major revisions to the rear beam; the front camber will go negative as you drop the car. Eibachs are a huge step backward compared to stock LNF spring rates. If u want more front camber, either slot the strut mounting holes to the knuckle or use 20 dollar eccentric camber knuckle bolts. I dont recommend doing that, but its up to you.
