So I have my 10 ss which is lowered with h&r springs. Only issue is the back is so much higher than the rear. I would like to lower it more, the only rear springs I found available separate are pedders. Not sure if these will get me lower or not? Also ordered koni rear shocks through my work today so hopefully have them next week sometime.

koni shocks wont lower you
The H&R's will settle a little still
If you want lower then you'll need to buy coil overs, and I'll buy the H&r's

 

Sorry forgot to mention the h&r springs have been on there for at least 10k and the konis for the rear are just an upgrade.

 

Well if you want lower then you'll need to buy coilovers, can you upload more pictures of how the car sits? only one of your pictures works the rest are just

 

the back is higher than rear?

 

I redid the pictures, front is great rear is way to high. 1 finger gap in the front and 3 and a little bit in the back. looks a lot worse in person/level surface

 

It looks like you have the H&R Race springs, which do have quite a bit of rake from what I hear. The H&R Sport Springs, which I believe are blue in colour, will even it out quite a bit more (I'm after a set myself). Look for pictures (or have him post in here) of 07MetallicSC's (sp?) car- his sits on H&Rs and he has many pictures around here.

 

welcome to the world of cobalts ahhahah. If you want low you get coilovers thats that. If you want better handling you get YYZ springs and koni struts.

 

Keep the rear higher. The car has rake in it design and making the rear low as the front throws off that look

 

Anybody sell just rear springs? Only thing I have found are pedders, not sure how much they will lower it but may be the only option. I don't want to change the front its fine the way it is.

 

You buy springs as a set. If they arent low enough go coilovers. those are your options. sorry man.

 

I lowered my car on tenzos, and love the drop. If you want to see how it looks. here.

 

Coil overs don't lower the back.... Some companies do sell just rears.

 

....... they do lower the rear.... do some more research. check out the stance thread. Lots of good info on there about going low, which seems to be your goal.

 

where did you hear that?

 

You can slam the whole car on coilovers so not sure how they don't lower the back.

 

Nope, coilovers don't lower the back. We've all been wrong this whole time

 

I've personally seen a 09 SS/TC on the first set of stance coilovers made (were a prototype set) and the car looks great, But I'd still take my Koni's and YYZ V3 springs for the handling.

 

I'd definitely take the YYZ's instead of coilovers. Coilovers are a PITA on a daily driver in my opinion. It takes a lot of tedious trial and error to get them all even, then changing the stiffness is a whole 'nother demon in itself.

 

nope coilovers dont lower the rear. Your **** out of luck.

This...

heres a pic of my car with the H&R sport first installed


it looks way lower now. some settling and alot due to weight (see sig)

 

OP must have the sport NA springs. He needs to get the SS version with the -2 at the end of the part number. My car dropped another inch or so in the rear when I swapped the two sets of H&Rs out.

 

QFT... this guy is correct. you have the HR race springs.. they drop the front a ton and the rear sits high.

You can swap out different rear springs. Sportlines or HR sport springs lower the back quite a bit more then what you have. I had a 2 finger wheel gap with sportlines in the rear.

 

So I would like to swap just the rear springs to drop it down lower. I suppose I will have to call around to see if I can get just a rear set. Only ones I see available are pedders. I don't want to change the front because I like the way it sits already.

 

pedders will probably raise it more
