I just purchased my 2009 Cobalt SS / TC coupe and I seem to have Eibach Sportline springs in the rear.


Is this garbage?

If so your front should sit way higher than the rear does. Jack the car up and look to see the inscription on both the front and rear springs, if it's not completely rusted over it shoudl say Eibach on them.

I doubt anyone would be dumb enough to put only the rear springs on.

My rear ones are very easily visible because they're red lol but the one's in the front look untouched and they're black?

I'am low in the front and have lots of scrapes though and had a sad face once I saw all the boo boo's

I'll get pics soon once I figure out how to post!

You have to either upload them to this sites gallery or to Photobucket and link them.

Probably is the case as the stock springs are black.
