if u wanna stay conservative and go 1" lower i got a stock suspension set up from when i put my coilovers on lol

 

is it better to have it lower in the front or back since im FWD?

 

haha lowering springs lower the front and rear buddy

 

i got my back just a tad higher but not really to noticeable..but i couldnt tell u the true correct answer...i just have mine set this way cuz my front is set soft and my rear set up is set stiff so i can hook up

 

some lowering kits you can buy with a smaller drop in the rear though..i did it on my last car so im guessing you can buy the same kits for a cobalt

 

no i know they lower them all but is it beter to have it lower in the fromt or back

 

The reason you see kits that say 2in Front/ 2.5in Back is because our car is 1in higher in the back factory and they lower the rear more to make it sit even and not raked. Personally its up to you but if you buy cheap springs the rear tends to sag and the rear actually sits lower than the front and it looks stupid. I like the way these cars look with a bit of rake in the rear so thats why I mentioned the D2.

 

The d2 looks like they are universal thats my only problem . will they fit snug?

 

if u want to be happy in all honesty just get coilovers..choose your own height instead of worrying bout to low or not low enough or if the back should be higher or the same...ull be much happier i think with choosing your own set up

The picture is just a generic product picture. The actual product you get is different from that and is made for our car. Yes they fit fine, all the people that bought them from him love them and they do look decent. Look at the pics of the car on like page 4 or 5

 

i was looking on the d2 website

 

I'm on a 4inch drop

 

D2 looks good to me and are slightly higher than sportlines i believe

 

No its my turn to chime in with a question If you buy coilovers do you have to buy struts or anything like you would with springs?????

 

if im buying direct form eibach it gives me the option to buy for the ss or a cobalt. they have different ride hights. i have the 2.4 so idk which 1 to get

 

coilovers come with everything you need struts shocks springs etc...thats why they so expensive there 2 3 4 way coilovers some you can adjust the height only and some you can adjust the height and dampening aka stiffness too

 

sick, then thats the end of the thread... clear choice is coilovers. Comes with adjustable ride height and everything you need to NOT screw up your car

 

yup just way more expensive springs run 125-400 for a set and coilovers run 800-2000 depending on the brand and how many ways it is adjustable megan racing coilovers are the cheapest

 

yeah but in the long run if you end up messing things up from springs it could cost more than coilovers to begin with... soooooo i will be smart and save my money for coilovers lol. plus it snows here and if you only have one ride height like springs then youre screwed

 

haha thats true i live in cali so i only have to worry about floods and fucked up streets with potholes im putting on pedders for now and will save up for some good coilovers later since i actually track my car
