It looks like your almost tucking tire. If thats the case your axles are already binding. Im sure if you looked under your car you could see them at an odd angle which isnt good for them. People were having issues with H&R sport springs and B&G, and your car looks as low if not lower than with those springs. If you can feel a slight vibration at like 10-20mph then you know there binding.

I don't feel any vibration at all but i'm sure its not good for the axles. That's the price you have to pay to be low..

Aint that the truth.


And please, this is the slammed thread, if your not tucking tire it doesnt need to be posted. There are plenty of other threads to show your cobalt off in. Just saying...

some new megan racing ones. they are in pretty good shape. some mild surface rust on pieces that have had the paint chipped off. i have put about 10,000 miles on them and the previous owner had 25,000 miles on them. i am having some other suspension issues so i am going back to stock suspension until i get them sorted out

To me, your low to the point where it doesn't look good. Not on a Cobalt anyway.

and just curious, what happened to your front lip? Did a racoon steal yours like they did my old one on my SS/SC?
