Getting Stance Coilovers....

Ok, I have a 2007 Cobalt ss Supercharge. I have had this car for 5 years now with only 82,000 miles on it.. This summer I am going to get the stance Coilovers for it, Now when I install them does anyone recomend any other parts? I want to do this right so if someone can tell me the right way of doing this that would be great.. Thanks everyone!!!

I recommend an alignment as soon as you get them set where you like them. Also i heard adjustable end links were a good idea. however, I'm lowered and don't have them so I'm not sure what type of difference will make.

nice car... i would definitely get moog end links.

If you're planning on dropping pretty low, i would also get rotated mounts to help with axle bind and wheel hop.

Thanks for replying guys, Cobaltss, sweet dude Ill do all that as you said, This car sits in the Garage most of the time. I only drive it on really nice days. Is there anything else you recommend doing to the car? like after I get the lowering stuff done, or should I just leave it along after i get the coilovers.....

Alignment for sure. You need to look at other components before you start the job and figure out what else needs to be done.....sway bar end links, trans mounts, control arm busbingsy, ball joints, brakes, wheel bearings, the entire suspension suspension basically

You can choose one of the pictures on top if you like, pick anyone that will look good on.

Pretty sure BC extreme low coils are the lowest you can get without modifying them.

Here is sedan on Stance SS coils with all locking rings in and lowered all the way in the rear with a 1/4 inch raise from max low in the front mainly because the adjuster *** on the bottom rubs on the axle rubber and potentially rips it if all the way down on my car. I also did OTTP steering rack spacers (largest they offer) to stop bump steer which help a ton! I am going to be taking the locking rings out in the rears as soon as I put my summer tires back on. Tires in pic are 225/40r18s bumping up to 235/40r18 for summers this year. First things first let them settle for a week or two then get an alignment dont get it aligned right away let them settle a bit. I also put on moog sway bar endlinks because I tore the **** out of the stocks when I dropped the engine. They are nice little thicker and have the grease **** on them.
