had a question on these springs

why does CA#1 sport springs have a .75 inch drop in the front and a 1.25 inch drop in the rear? i know a slant looks nice but why would you want your nose up in the air?

all aftermarket springs are like that, because stock like mentioned the rear is higher than the front.

The rear is higher stock. just go out and look at the stance of most of the cobalts out there. Personally.. I kinda like that stance, and I just really wanna bring both levels down equally. But yes, thats why the back is so tough to look out of, our car throws its ass up and out like a drunk chick in 10" clear heels at 3AM

there is no better brand. as long as you stick with the respectable names you will be fine. eibach, tenzo's, progress, SSC there are a bunch its really preference on how much drop you want. I haven't heard much about the CA brand springs. But their reputation with everything is phenomenal so I imagine the springs would be the same. Just make sure you do your HW first. you don't want to get springs that arent going to drop your car at all.

check out the sticky in this section. it should give you a good break out of the drops and the differences between the LS and LT's and the SS and SS/SC's
