I'm looking to lower my car finally and have a few question

1. What's the best way to go about it..... springs or coilover?
2. If it springs, do I need to replace anything else besides the springs?
3. Is it really worth lowering since its already has a tuned suspension

Since I need a alignment I figured I might as well try to kill to birds with one stone

 

best = coilovers
cheaper = springs

 

Is there any pictures of sportlines on a ss/TC?

 

tons, but sportlines ride blows...... get ssc

 

whats ssc? I usually buy my stuff from TTRacing

 

Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

they are good springs. they give as close to stock ride as you can get with a decent drop and great handling. google it

 

Who has em for cheap?

 

they come up on the site used sometimes for like 150 - 160 but i think that 219$ brand new is a great price for a quality set of springs... or you could just do it right in the beginning and spend the extra money and buy coilovers

 

I got three kids, no way i can buy coil overs lol

so are the sportlines the same drop as ssc?

 

yeah they arent cheap. but i would def go with ssc springs. they have pics of the drop on the link i listed above ^

 

or there is more info on their main site::

Superior Sport Chassis Inc. - Home

 

09sport you a good point bout spend in the extra money and just get coilovers but damn... 1000 bucks???

 

yeah i know man.... i opened a different savings account at my credit union and am putting money in it to save up they arent cheap but they are the BEST way to go, not the cheapest

 

cool, thanks. its hard to tell by the pics what gives the lower drop.

but the ssc are cheaper. TTR are selling the sportlines for 249.00 and the scc are 219.00

 

I haven't really heard of ssc springs on a tc. What I had a lot of others have that have been proven to be an upgrade to the ss/tc suspension would be pedder springs. I got mine from ottp.

Just my .02 cents. Search pedders, you'll see good things

 

yeah pedders are probably the BEST springs like post above ^ but they are about $150 more than ssc springs and dont really drop that much but have the best handling

 

I have had SSC springs as well as Pedders. There is a day and night difference between the two. I vote pedders all the way! The ride is better than stock and you just don't find that with a drop spring.

Definitely worth the extra cash IMO

 

I think im going for sportlines. cause I don't goto track and I want a bigger drop.

 

You want to lower the car for looks or handling?

 

they are 199 here and show pics of the drop

Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs 05-10 Cobalt - 05-07 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged Suspension Parts, Struts, Springs, Strut

 

mostly looks. I dont goto the track, and if I drive fast its straight on the highway. maybe some digs here and there but nothing big.

I dont try to do turns at 60. I used to have an LT that was to the **** but without boosting and springs and I lost it around two turns, so im done with fast turns lol lol lol, I get it was lt suspension and thats why but im still not risking anything with my TC

 

i had sportlines now i have pedders heres my link with pics

yes this is the best thread it helped me make my decision easy

 

If you go for looks then you wont be looking at pedders. But if you get springs contact OTTP and get spacers for them.

 

haha np man glad it helped somebody for once
