Lowering Kit

Hey guys. I'm looking to get the Eiach kit. I'm seen the thread with the side by side of the sportlines...they are really nice, but I can't find them on ebay for the cobalt...I've only found the Pro kit. Any advice on where to search, or will they pop back up on ebay and I just need to keep my eye out for it? I also just found some posts with H&R springs. I like the sport springs they have. What's the difference between the H&R sports and the Eibach kit? Thanks guys!

I'll check out those vendors...I was just looking at TTR...they don't sell H&R (doesn't really matter in my mind), but is there any difference between the Sportlines and the Sport by H&R?. My car is an 07...does it matter if the springs say Cobalt 05-06?

True...I guess I'll be getting the Eibach Sportlines soon. Any issues that any has had? I've only read good things about them and they look really nice. I won't be installing them so I won't have to worry about screwing things up. They won't do anything to my warranty will they?

Nice. Now I just need to find them on ebay. I've found a bunch of Eibach Sportlines, but none for a cobalt...I searched the vendors on here and know that they sell them, the price is just better on ebay.

There are plenty of members that have been running Sportlines w/ stock struts for 50k miles and more and haven't had ANY problems. I love mine. Best mod I've bought.

BTW, when I got mine, Modern Performance had the best price. And they shipped sooo fckn quick!

Yeah...they only 4 sets. I'd imagine they will go pretty quick. I gotta wait for the paycheck to come. Hopefully they'll still have some. Did you install yours yourself or take it somewhere?
