Question Help - Best Lowering Spring for Cobalt SS/TC?

Hi. I have a 2010 cobalt SS/TC and was wondering which spring will give me the lowest drop. I have been researching and it seems the H&R sports are pretty decent. Is there anything lower than that?

Also, are rack spacers required.

if you want a really low drop and dont care about handling h&rs are the way to go. a buddy of mine, the cotm, has h&rs and is it low. i just put on ssc springs, dont have any pictures but they arent as low, but the ride isnt that harsh.

also rack spacers are to help with bump steer, but i really havent experienced any of it... yet.

Ive had Tein S-tech springs on my car now for a few months. Love em, no problems. 1.2 drop in front and 1.3 in rear.

Sportlines are one of the most popular springs for the Cobalt. Similar drop to the Tein S-techs I believe, slightly harsher ride than stock.

get my images. I'm on sportlines. I like em. Give it a nice drop and I'll agree with the slightly harsher ride. I don't mind though...

Im just saying...if he searched, like he said he did, he would have found the thread comparing like ALL setups.

You want lowest? Get airbags or coilovers.
