I really want to lower my car with sportlines... But i'm concerned after reading a few posts of people having problems with there car after lowering. Such as there car making funny click sounds and what not. Who has lowered there car and has had problems?

 

If you do everything properly and to spec, you won't have any problems

 

The clicking sound you are refering to, is just the strut decommpressing because it doesnt have as far to travel

 

how come some people on this thread are experiencing vibration or a shutter when accelerating with these springs installed?

 

I've had the same problem with the sportlines. When I turn it sounds like the springs are binding up, but i've also noticed that same sound once in a while when I hit a small bump in the front and rear. Not sure what to do, I follow directions word for word and installed numerous springs with no problems.

 

I wanna lower the cobalt but this guy I know sayd that my shocks/ struts will wear out within a few months, anyone have shock/struts problems?

 

I have heard most people (SS/SC) are doing well on sportlines,

Depending on what trim level you have your struts may be more or less able
to cope with the additional stress of lowering.

fully adjustable coilovers will always be the safest and most reliable way to lower

but be prepared to drop a grand before installation depending on brand.

I know there are a couple out already, but I expect more in the following months.

I believe Koni has a full coilover due out soon, anybody?

 

i just lowered mine and there is all kind of pops, clicks and snaps... oh and my favorite the BANGS when you hit bumps..



.

 

no probs with my sportlines other than speed bumps and pot holes

 

Did you cut the bump stops? My Sportlines are fine. Ride quality is amazing and so is the handling.

 

everybody with sportline and H&R race kit have problems with their shocks.I have H&R on my 2.2 and the handling is starting to decrease due to the poor shocks.

 

Are they loud pops and clicks? Do you think it's damaging anything? Also how is it when your driving, do you get any vibrations when accelerating?

 

no problem here just a coil bind once and a blue moon. but i didnt drop my car as much as the others did

 

i found out its the hub caps makeing all the noise.. when i hit a bump the hub caps rattle.... i need rims... other than that i love the ride

 

complete lie in my situatioin anyways... have have the TenzoR's which are the cheapest brand name lowering kit with probably the biggest drop(forget ebay)... i dropped about 2.5 in front, 3 in back.... not a single problem.... didnt cut bumpstops.... just got a camber kit... i will live by these things but airride is soon

 

The only problem I have is my aftermarket exhaust hits the stock rear sway bar when I hit bumps but I found out that the guys at the shop let a mount off of it so I am going to have them put it on and really pull it up and away from the bar.

 

I have the same thing, but I need to know more about the camber kit?

WUZ UP WITH THE VIBRATION ON ACCELERATION

 

Lowered my SS\SC yesterday with Sportlines and not one sound. Today I beat the hell out of the car just to see if any noises would pop up, nothing. I'm actually shock on how well the ride is with the new springs.
