for anyone that has lowering spring put on their car. is it barable? does it make you feel the road better. basically, is it worth it?

 

well this really isnt a performance tech question but it all depends on the springs you get.. if your thinkin they will be really stiff then your thinkin bout a full coilover set. just springs wont be all that stiff.

 

If you want a stiff ride for a cheap price, buy some used SS/SC springs.

 

i have lowering springs by SSC, if you dont like a rough ride dont get theses

 

i had eibachs on my 2.4 and than i traded that in for a ss/sc. the ride is so much bette without them. im not going to put springs on this one

 

describe, rough ride? lke bak aiking, noisy. do u feel more connected to the road, is it like a headache?

 

does anyone have the ksport lowering springs....im thinkin about getting those....let me know wat u think of those

 

Whats that?

 

i feel every piece of gravel.... but that might just be my springs, the eibachs might be a bit softer, and the eibachs with the smallest amount of drop would be your best bet. that would be a decent ride.

 

It's like driving on 20 Inch rims with 25 series tires.

 

Its like the Princess and the pea now, huh?

 

Dont lie to the man though, how many of you have Koni Struts?

 

tell me about it

 

there has to be positives, any? or is it just looks? does it feel more natural. like, are u lie, "o **** i gotta go to ppoint A and i have to get in my messed up spring car that i hate"

 

highway driving is nice...

 

I don't. Not yet at least. I think by the end of the year I'll have them though. I just bought some cheap used front struts so I can have minimal downtime on my car when I install them.

 

i just couldnt stand my car looking like a 4X4

 

My sportlines ride fine. Its the 35 profile tires I run on my 19"s that make the ride a bit rough.

 

Positives:
Look Amazing!
Lower Center of Gravity = Better Cornering and handeling
Chances with the ladies improves

 

speaks the truth

 

Stage 3 clutch for 140whp?! Jesus.........I plan on only getting an Exedy stage 1 for my 2.4SS, and thats on a car that lays down about 180whp, lol. Going turbo maybe?

 

I'm riding on the Eibach Sportlines and the ride isn't rough or bouncy at all. It's just a bit stiffer. The car feels more connected to the road, basically. It's the best money I've spent on my Cobalt so far.

 

i like it.

gonna complement with ss/sc struts soon. i heard it drops it more.

 

ima be ordering the tenzos later on, my buddy had them on his old ss/sc and made it looks nice, plus my car has aftermarket rims with stock size and height, so i really need a 2" drop to balance out the 15's i have

 

If you don't want a rough ride, get coilovers with adjustable firmness...

ps. moved to suspension
