so hopefully i will be picking up znew's coilover sleeves, like i said before they are stance springs with apparently universal sleeves, not really sure how they will work, has anyone experiment with this type of coilover before?

i just googled it and it seems very popular! getting cheap $50 ebay coilovers, and swapping the springs for a better set but keeping the perches.

A couple questions. For those of you on BC, how long have you had them and how do they ride? I'm very interested in them from a few things I've read.

Since I will never get around to giving my LS power, I want to get the best ride quality and handling I can.

As seen in my sig, I have FE5 LCA's, Street Bar, Pedders with FE5 TC struts/shocks, Moog end links, and I have an FE5 front bar not installed yet.

I want to go slightly lower than the Pedders and I want to maintain somewhat close handling. I DD my car all year and I like to push it to it's limits from time to time, but I don't Auto-X or do any racing. I may in the future try Auto-X, but probably not something I'll really get into.

Another question...does anyone have pics of a Cobalt on any coilovers with 16" wheels and 225/50 tires? I plan on getting 16's and 225/50...I bought 18's a while ago and didn't keep them, don't really want to go 17" even. Hoping to get an idea of what it could look like if I do it.

Wow, sorry to get back late but I really liked the megans. The rode pretty well, better than I was expecting. The only negative is that they dont go very low compared to Ksport, D2, or Stance. It seemed to handle really well and drove great over the shitty roads.

All I'm interested in is ride quality. Even if the coil overs only drop as far as my H&Rs as long as it rides better.

Why does everyone always say that. There has to be a comfortable coil over system out there. I've been in countless imports such as RSXs, Altima SE-Rs VWs and Genesis ALL SLAMMED and still had a better ride quality than my balt. Is it because its not an import?
