Installed CM springs (pics)

Got them on today, had a chance to drive to school and back, about an hour total. Ride is a tad bouncier but smoother then stock. Overall, better ride for sure. Dropped it a nice amount in the front and a lot in the back. Still has a slight rake. Looks a lot better, feels better, and very happy with my purchase.

Before and after comparison. There is a bigger drop then the pictures show. My car looks weird and long on camera but ill try to take some different pics if anyone wants them.

They settle over a period of time. Take a look at my sig, they are still settling slowly. Glad I got these over sport lines or H&Rs

How long have you had yours for? My drop isn't nearly as low as yours and I've had mine on for almost 2 months now..

hmm.... See that's one thing that I don't really like about these springs. They seem to be VERY inconsistant. Some cars like mine just get a relatively mild drop, while other cars seem to get pretty well slammed for whatever reason.

Dakotaspier (spelling?) on here has a lot of pics of his car on them. Mine aren't quite as low as his but they are getting there.

I searched the M3 spoiler and came across this post and now i have to order one right away!

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/4529801-post22.html


this is the only one i could find but its not painted:

08 09 10 CHEVROLET COBALT-M3 Style Trunk Lip Spoiler-KB | eBay

Anyone find a link for a painted one?


And for more comparison, here is another before pic. looks unnaturally high now ha

Meh I've never liked the look of it on a sedan. I'm deff going to pick up one of the M3's though. Might rattle can it gloss black or even just keep it matte black unpainted. I dont think it would stand out that much unless you go right up to it and inspect it.
