Lowering questions - Coilovers

Ok so I read some of the other threads, and even some on the springs. I want to lower my cobalt this summer the proper way using coilovers.

Im looking to pretty much eliminate my wheel gap completely, now anyone have any good suggestions on a GOOD set of coilovers that I can order right now?

Thanks.

Awesome, thanks !

So, based on that thread, are the Jbody coilovers worth it?

i want basically a nice setup that will ride smoothly and allow me to lower a few inches.

Best suggestion?

Awesome, sounds good, ya I dont plan on doing anything and jumping into it. Probly a few months from now considering were still gettin snow storms lol. But 2500 sounds rediculously expensive for what I need and want to spend !

I'd look at the KW coilovers, they're around 1200 i believe and KW is a great brand.

I would go with the B&G, mainly because the spring perch is threaded to the strut tube, so when you lower the car your don't screw up your bound and rebound rates,
