did you ignore what i said....stance or hsd for street use. end of story. you want comfortable stay stock because no coilovers will give you a better then stock ride comfort. they are all stiffer

For what the roadcoarse??? Kw variant 2s or if you have money to burn ohlins, anze, or konis racing stuff but for looking at 3k to 8k for that stuff. Kw variant 2s are a lot cheaper and are more then you will probablly ever need. This is if your dead set on coilovers of coarse. If your not concerned with being super low and want the best handling for right now pedders springs on fe5 or koni struts.

For drag a set of coilovers with drag bags in the rear

Oh bartss you know who I am.......I had stances before you and hooked you up with yours. Im just under a different name

I'm currently looking at BC Coilovers. 30 way adjustable. you can change up the stiffness slightly. plus 2 inch height adjustable. risen all the way up you get a 1 inch drop out of the box. plus an additional 2 inches of leeway drop. im getting em in the next month or so. I had a friend with a 240 who had em and he loved them. 1k for adjustable coilovers. MP owner was one of the people who tested them for BC for the cobalt. any take on these?

Garbage. Just because they are good on one car doesn't mean they are good on all......the rates suck for the cobalt. We currently running them on our kappa and we are removing them because they blow and we aren't happy. Don't think because they put all this non sense in your head they are good

They are crap. They offer a better package for spring rrates but the fact they use the same design spring in the front is a joke. Its too short if you ask me. Megan couldn't even get their catback for the lnf cars right....they went down in size from the stock catback

you can get the stances for not much more. Call THMotorsports and see what they can do for you. I dont know if i can say the price on here that i paid but its well worth it

Having done that, and after you said the same thing in my thread, is there any proof, even if it's word of mouth from an owner that ANYONE can point me to that the KW's are any good at all on this car? I don't assume that they're bad. I just don't assume they're good either.

I'm not trying to call you out or flame you. You just seem like you might know. I personally can't stand how much "seat of the pants" logic exists on this forum so I'd like just a touch of evidence other than hearsay from a friend of a friend.
