Name This Spring! HELP PLZ :)
I bought a used SS with a lowering kit on it. Wondering if anyone know FOR SURE what springs are in it to lower it this low. My Cobalt is the lowest I've seen without Coilovers.
The Springs are Yellow which is why I can't nail who makes them. Google searching I can't find that color anywhere.
Thanks,
BBoy90
Feel free to ask any questions, I will aid in any way to find out what springs these are.

I used to run Goldline springs, they were sold by Modern Performance a few years ago before they got discontinued. Only yellow colored ones for the cobalt iirc. I had a 2 finger gap all around on stock wheels/tires. Yours looks a bit lower than mine was though, have checked them out to see if they were cut?

I bet they are Goldline. Thanks guys. Great support.
Now for a short review on them. Great lowered look. Handles AMAZING. Freaking GO-KART lol. My only drawback is that pot-holes are freaking loud and sound damaging when I hit them at speed. But this is expected on lowered springs due to shortened compression abilities. Wheel hop is still horrible, no help on that, but a Engills will fix that.
Thanks fellow Cobalt owners for the help.

the only yellow painted springs i remember are goldline and sprint. which were both discontinued. and an ingalls is only a band-aid fix, a couple posts above you Powell Race Parts can set you up with a real nice set of mounts to stop the route of the problem

Oh I know how to fix the wheel hop. Just if anyone was wondering is lowering helped wheel hop, IT DOESN'T. My other car is a Ion Redline with Stage 2, Ingalls, lots o mods. Dyno @ 282whp. Lots of fun. Ingalls removed its wheel hop all together but I have looked into rotated mounts too.

Wasn't there a brand by the name of number 1 that was offered by Cobalt-Addiction a few years back? If I'm not mistaken, it first showed up back when NOPI was still around..
