CX Racing Coilovers?

Hello everyone,

I'm in the market for some coilovers in the near future and have been doing a lot of research on which ones I should get. I'm in college and poor, so naturally Im looking for the cheapest set that is still decent quality. I would love to buy used ones, but that seems just about impossible.

Anyway, I found these CX Racing coilovers, and was wondering if anyone has these or have any suggestions on weather or not to get them. I searched and haven't found any threads on these but I could be wrong. Any help would be great, thanks.

Here's the link:cxracing.com: 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt Coilover Suspension Kit Camber Plate

For about $200 more you can get K Sport's from ZZP. I know it's $200, but suspension isn't something I would chep out on.

They actually don't look too bad and they have better spring rates than the ksports or stance

I get what you're sayin. My only advice is just make sure they are reputable and that they have a warranty they will get behind. Hell, if they turn out to be pretty good I might just pick some up.

Yeah yeah for sure, I looked around and it seems like on other car forums(lexus, bmw, vortex) people are surprisingly pleased with the quality, but didn't see anything about them on css, thats why I was asking

HSD do a good coil over for Cobalt with newly revised damping; HSD make stance as a private label. check jrponline. They cost more than 700 dollars. Proper installation with preload on the spring is essential. Spring rates? oh well, its what they are...
