so let me see if im getting this correct....if you buy the SS/SC or SS/TC springs you can put those on your base or LT cobalt ....correct? and it will lower it? hoe much lower if this is correct?

 

not a whole lot, but it handels ALOT better and will work better longer with lowering springs
yes though, it does bolt right up

 

we're not talking about the ss/tc lowering springs they'll lower your base model balt about 1.5-1.25 i believe not much. you want the STRUTS/SHOCKS from the SS/TC the SS model cobalts are already lowered from factory so there already made for a lowered car. Buying the SS/TC SHOCKS/STRUTS will save you quite a bit.

 

ok so if im looking for a better feel and look with out droping to much FE5's would work right?

 

I think Eibach is winning...

 

i would have to agree! 100 percent!

 

yes, although make sure its the ss/TC strut not the ss/SC strut, the sc strut is still better, but not as good as the tc strut

and it will lower you a little, but is meant to be coupled with a lowering spring to get the actual height difference

 

sweet so TC gotcha! if i find a TC with factory springs that will lower it as well , but your suggestion is to couple it will some lowering springs for height

 

yes and yes
check into the 2.2 l61 section or under the suspension sticky for the 2.2 suspension topic, there is als o a review by me (check my threads to see) about tc install (with pics)

 

thanks for the help!

 

np man, let me/us know if you need any help

my car on arks springs

 

^^^^how do they ride because i hear their coilovers are garbage so im curious about the springs.?????

i voted eibach even though i dont like their springs.

 

like any springs pretty much
rough if stock is 1 then the springs
i have now in my opinion is 3-4
well everyone liked it so far.

 

H+R over Eibach any day. German engineering. My car rides so much better with H+R's over the balts Ive rod in with the bachs..

 

i love my sportlines

 

I have Progress springs and the ride quality is better than stock unless you hit a really big bump. The rear springs are a bit short though. The back end sits low unless you do something like this:
I made 3/4" shims to lift the back of the car. They are made out of a PVC material called AZEC. I have about 150lbs. of stereo gear in the trunk, but I don't think that should make the back squat as much as it did without the shims.







Before:

After adding 3/4" shims:

 

i ahve the progress as well and i love the way they ride. definitely a little stiffer than stock but the handling is great. i did not have the problem with an uneven stance, my sits perfect, same gap over both wheels.
