ok guys i just got my SSC springs put on the ol ss/na. let me tell you, they look sick (perfect drop) , and they handle like a champ! For the price you cant beat them. I gotta put their name out there and say if anyone is looking for a good set of springs for low price (180 shipped from cobalt-addiction) def look into these springs. you will not be disappointed!

 

there cheaper from zzp but i also have these and they ROCK. for the price you really cant beat these!

 

no way dude! there awesome, and the drop is perfect!

 

i heard good things, but i still prefer sportlines

 

Give me a PICTURE!!!!! I'm looking for springs as we speak.

 

this thread needs picks!!

 

How much of a drop is it on the SS? It only says Cobalt on CA.

 

What shocks/struts did you go with? Or are you still on the stockers?

 

If he is still on stockers he is going to be spending somemore money then he just did for springs....

 

Why? Can't you just buy springs and get it lowered without having other bullshit in the way?

 

Depends if you live in a place where there are shitty roads then your going to blow your struts, like I did. Then it is going to bottom out on every little bump you hit, thats why im saving up for Coilovers

 

Nope. The stock GM shocks/struts are designed around the spring rate of your stock springs. By adding these new springs, they have a higher spring rate and compress the shock/strut more which adds unwanted stress to them. You'll feel it soon enough.

**EDIT**: I know SOMEONE is gonna get pissy at this, so let me state that many people do lower their cars on the stock struts, but to get the most out of your new springs as far as ride and handling, an aftermarket shock/strut is needed.

 

OK well what spring can I buy without having to do that stuff?

 

the stock ones? did you not read the post...?

 

I might just have to save for the 18" SS/SC rims. All I wanted was for the wheel to fill up the wheel well or come close.

 

19's + Coilovers = No wheel gap

But ssc's are pretty good for the price

 

Well I live in Atlanta, think I'll be ok with SSC's or Tenzo R's?

 

couldnt tell ya never been there....well i have just never left the airport

 

dude go ssc's their drop is not nearly as low as the tenzo's. if you would like pics they are posted in my vb garage. and yes im running on stock struts and shocks. it will be fine for a while. when the time comes ill buy the aftermarket ones. right now though the roads i drive on are not very bad at all. smooth as silk lol. but i suggest you go ssc dude. they are great for the price.

also if someone wants to post my pics i dont really no how to do it . i no pathetic huh? o well they are in my vb garage
thanks!

 

Uh, the thread entitle Suspension 101 in the sitcky i think explains why lowering your car on stock struts and shocks is bad.

 

yea i no.... lol i dont have the money right now.... they will come soon enough....the springs havent even been on for 500 miles tho. so i think im safe for alittle bit
