i jsut baught this 06 cobalt ls and it already has springs on it but the rear sets up almost inch and a half from the front. i have the head lights adjussted all the up and i still can not see at night with out highbeams is there a spring kit that will lower the car and have the car level ?????

 

buy the h&r SS/SC springs. They level the car. its a .2 at the end of the spring number if you look at the numbers on the springs, or when ordering online.

The SS/na and NA model cobalts sit raked, I don't know why but they do.

I had the same issue as you when I bought my first set of h&rs.

Goodluck

 

Manufacturer: H&R
Part Number: 50735-2
Notes: Sport Spring
Front Lowering: 1.5"
Rear Lowering: 1.4"

So your saying that these springs leveled your car out ? from the imformation i found its the same effect. I know sometimes information on some sites are a little misleading jsut trying to make sure i dont by the wrong thing

 

please dont take offence to any of this im new to the lowered car world and jsut dont want to spend a hell of alot of money replacing the sispention three times dont even want to do it once but i got to get the headlights in check

 

Eibach 4.9938 Sportline Extreme Lowering Springs 2005-2010 Chevy Cobalt & SS


has any one uset this kit or the Eibach springs ???????????

I guess i have to know where the car sat stock ( as far as inches ) do any of you have a stock 06 LS cobalt?? WOuld you mind measuring from your center hub to your fender front and back and post results????


imformation would be greatly appreated

 

I have an 09 base model like yours. When I bought my first set of H&Rs it sat raked as hell like you're describing. Then I ordered the ones Metallic mentioned and the back dropped a lot. Still have to do the fronts.

The measurements online are misleading because they are based off of the stock heights of SS and base cars, which differ in stock form.

Trust me when I say the 50735-2 numbered springs will bring the ass end down.

First set of H&RS



Rears from the second set installed. Still have to put in the fronts.

 

sounds good thats all i needed to know Its going to be a week or two before i can get them but ill give a shot


Thanks guys

now what was next on the list lets see................................. oh yea turbo lol

 

Some base models are even higher than that, I'm a monster as we speak lol

 

your going to want koni struts with those h&rs. Worth every penny. I blew my rear struts out on the h&rs.

The way I look at it

Can you do it on stock struts? sure.

Can you walk on your knees. Yea.

How long?

 

good tip I cant remember what the name of the struts that are on there but the front is bad i get bad wheel hop when i break traction. and the front will bottom out really easy. like i said this is my first lowered car I know its only a cobalt but it should still have a decent ride to it. I hav not had the back bottom out yet. The car was like this when i bought it a month ago I jsut want to get it to where it has a decent look to it and rides as best as it can for a lowered vehicle.

 

I want to say they are KYB in the rear atleast sont know what the front is
