Well it looks like i'm going to have to invest in some sportlines if they give me the drop i see on here.

I have an 05 base model and everyone i work with mock's my balt and it's factory lift kit it seems to have come with... 5 inch wheel gap is NOT cool..

 

very true

 

try to get the springs cheap if you can't install it yourself, because adding coils to your struts is a pain in the ass, sure the rear takes about 30 minutes, but the front takes 2 hours + new endlinks if you have the right tools.

 

hopefully my next free day ill have pics of mine

 

Decent thread, it helped me make a final decision - went with CM spring.
They shipped them out on tuesday and they arrived friday!
Dealt directly with CM.

Just a tip to those who dont have the tools to replace the front strut springs. You can take the two front struts out, mark them left and right, take them to a dealer or shop and have them install the springs with their compressor. Shouldnt be much more than half hour labour.

 

Does anyone have any pics of D2 racing springs?

LOWER?! ha i like how it is now....

and haven't gotten an alignment yet but everything drives fine.. should I still take to a quick shop and have them just look at it and check it out??

 

I put them in about 3 weeks ago and they got 1/4-1/2 inch lower, and I was going to get them aligned when I put my new summer tires on.

 

ha mine had been on for a day.. haha

 

which springs have the lowest rear drop?

Opted for Pedders and 16s for the ride, winter compromise, and potholes

 

Hello guys, I'm new to this site and I've installed my eibach sportline in my 09 Cobalt SS. The rear doesn't look as low as the pictures in here. It's been a month and a half now since I've installed it. What could I have done wrong? :/

 

Any of you guys know about coil bind (dead coils)? I was reading about it yesterday and people were saying that the dead coils are supposed to be on top? Reason i ask is because the dead coils on my ksports are on the bottom.. I'm just curious as to what the difference would be if i turned them over

 

nothing. spring doesnt care.

 

When I flipped my CM springs the right way up the rear end was a bit less bouncy.

 

Ya it's supposed to be dead coils on top. I installed mine upside down too and then when I flipped them I didn't notice any changes.
