Well I guess I can ask, does these coil overs handle like the TC struts with Pedders on them? I use to have that in my old 2.4L I'm pretty stoked about this I feel like I have the power I want for my TC but the SS/TC springs just feel too stocked for me. I miss the stiff feeling and taking tight corners with almost 1.0 lateral Gs

IMHO. I wouldn't of bought any coilovers for these cars and expect good handling. The spring rates aren't correct. IMHO the BC are the best for the Cobaltss but even their rates are garbage's
I went front stances to pedders on fe5 struts and the spring strut combo was better then the stances. Powell springs with koni's is the handling setup to have

I wouldn't spend the money on stances. For what they cost after owning them I feel they are junk. BC ones are better and less money. For the same price of the stances you can get the inverted bodies from BC which IMHO is better
For handling the only good coil overs that are good are anze and ohlins but they are huge dollars. All the rest are a good street coilover

Sweet Bro I like your setup. I don't want to slam really just for better handling on the turns. Yeah man here in Texas well down south don't ever have to worry about snow tires
That's true but what's done is done, I've been eyeballing those coilovers for years now and finally having the funding for it (Funds from my old 2.4). I'm happy with the power my SS/TC has already. I know there's others out there that are way better but cost even more. I'm happy with what I have now It's gonna be a fun project to do. The only thing that worries me is how do you measure the height that you want?
At Sunburst SS: HAHAHA!!! Don't know if I want to slam my balt here where I'm at lol

Welcome. Imho all these coil overs are just goods street coil overs even with a proper alignment and a corner balance. I preferred my peddlers and fe5 struts and now my Powell springs and koni's any day. I vouch for the BC stuff because we took an off the shelf basic coil over and ran it on our solsrice which set track records this year with no spring changes. They performed great but as my boss and I say there's better stuff out their but they got the job done. People seem to hear the world coil over and automatically think they are better because they cost a grand plus which isn't the case with a lot of the coil overs available for all makes and models.
