New to lowering so I need some help, I know those are other forums dealing with this same situation just couldn't find the right one.

I have a cobalt 2.2 on 17's with 4 Nankang NS-1 Radial 215/45R-17XL 91H BSW tires.

I just bought eibach sportlines. Would it be safe to lower it without rubbing on the ground or my tires. Also I have a big exhuast, any worries about about hitting the ground?

NEED HELP!!!!

 

Shouldnt rub on the fenders. Depends on how low your exhaust hangs.

 

Scared of rubbing? Don't lower

 

sportlines shouldn't make you rub

 

your not gonna rub

 

lol I bang my exhaust sometimes while just driving and i'm on sportlines. Just got a 3in exhaust put in too.

 

I have a megan spec drift catback and i think its a 5in

 

5 inch diesel status.....you will be fine man

 

Okay Hope so. Its a Megan Spec Drift catback for a cobalt SS supercharge. It sounds great and cheap for a catback. Just doesnt fit on my car like it would for an SS.

Here's a older picture of my car with my older rims, but you can see my exhaust.


Newer rims but cant see the exhaust

 

Newer rims and tires

 

......

 

dude cobalts are 4x4's you wont rub with springs, i have megans which i think are 2.25" drop, dont remember though and i never rub EVER.

 

Good to know, thanks bro

 

I been looking at the Cobalt FE5 Struts and Shock and would I need to buy a control arm?

Also any good sites that sells them cheap? I saw that crateenginedepot sells them. Anywhere else?

 

Your local junkyard. No control arm needed.

 

Aight, also how long could i use my stock struts and shocks with the eibach sportline springs? I have around 47,000 miles on it. Driving mostly normal.
