For the Cobalt Sc/SS what is the lowest spring setup people have been seeing or have from experince? Front and Rear. After reading on the forum seems like alots of people are saying different things about the same springs? I am just trying to clear things up for myself andeveryone who have not gotten lowering spring and are looking to purchasing them.

 

I believe that the H&R springs give the most drastic drop. I had the Eibach Sportlines and they gave a nice drop while still maintaining ride quality.

 

Buying springs is a waste of money. It is a lot cheaper and easier to maintain factory ride quality by cutting the front springs and heating up and shrinking the rear springs. That is what I will be doing as soon as I have a few spare hours at the shop. Then you can drop your car as much as you want.

 

you're kidding right?

 

I agree with ss ry

 

No I am not kidding, If you cut one coil off of the front springs it will drop the front end about 3/4- 1 inch. IT sounds crazy to some, but to those of us who do this sort of stuff professionaly it works.

 

I'll have to agree with both of them above too.

 

I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but when I do it I will post a how-to. Seeing it step by step may change your minds.

 

I don't know, are these progressive wound springs? Do you cut the softer end or the stiffer end?
I know guys have been doing the "heat red hot and sag" thing to springs for years. Doesn't that make the springs softer, when you take the temper out? Might work well as long as they don't get too soft.
I've never tried this, more info?

Also, when you heat & sag, how do you control how much they sag?

 

Only the front springs get cut. Since the rear springs are progressive springs, those would have to be heat treated.

 

back on the topic of lowering spring

 

i got the ones off of ebay the ZENN springs they dropped 2" in the front and 2 1/4" in the back i havent had any problems had them on for about a year and a half now

 

i dont have any pictures i dont even have a camera i need to get one but the back tires are wide and they do stick out of the wheel well it looks ******* nasty like a corvette from the back cause they stick out but i like them thanks man
