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.

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

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.
