Why do these look lower in the front than my Sportlines? Sportlines offer a 2" drop in the front and 2.5" in the back.

because thats a 2" and 2.5" drop for a base cobalt.

this is by far the sickest drop ive seen on a cobalt with just springs. if i was keeping my car this is definitely the way i would go!

this drop is SS specific, but will work on a base balt aswell. sportlines were the sweetest but these are a quite a bit better.

this thread was started in the suspension forum. they don't have a set price but i would say they would be around the price of the sportlines maybe a few pennies less.

ah you mean that thread, well it won't be put in that thread till there is a price wouldn't make much sense putting a product that isn't yet being produced, also without a price in that thread. I don't like making people anxious and impatient like that.

well i have a diff set of fronts that im gonna put on and it should raise it about 10mm or so. yes i will take a couple of pics of that too. B and G said that the final set of front springs will have about a 5 mm diff from those pictured above.

The front looks just tad too low. I don't think I've ever seen lowering springs tuck as a matter of fact. Other than that it looks pretty good.

To low for my tastes. I prefer an even wheel gap. There's no way the ride quality can be good. You pretty much have no suspension travel in the front. Better hope they don't settle too much.
