today i went to tein in downey after waiting 4 months and they took my car and put the prototype tein type s lowering springs on , it took like 7 hours , but they got all the specs so in like 3-4 months i will get the first full coil over systum for the redline,
it lowered my car about 3 1/2 to 4 inches and it still has a factory ride i love it
ill post pics soon

 

4 inches?? holy hell that quite a drop!

 

ya but there was quite a bit of space in there

 

well if you can do it congrats to you. definatly will have a low ride.

 

its not bad ive got about 3 inchs left ,it looks mean

 

Nice so the suspension on the cobalts and irl are differnet or the same

 

3 inches is a large drop

 

thats what they are doing the teck said they are very similar but they were unsure , i dont really carei got some free suspension and i got more to come

ya it sounds large but the before and after is amazing

 

Hurry give pics. Stop teasing. Were drooling over here!

 

Pics now.

 

I doubt it got droped 3-4", my car has Eibachs on it and it still bottoms out

 

^^^ i agree

 

SS/SCs and RLs got different suspensions. RLs have the suspension that the 2.4 SS's have. I don't have #s off the top of my head.

 

o rly

 

Yeah, I got sway bar links from BWoody that would fit a RL and 2.4 SS, but not the SS/SC. I was told they are different suspensions is why.

 

cool but i believe the cobalt is lower stock than the rl
i didnt know about the 2.4 thats cool

 

the redline also has 17" rims so the wheel gap is a little bigger opposed to the 18" wheels on the ss/sc

 

you waited 4 months to go in there or they had your car for 4 months?

that actually kinda sucks if the ride is like stock with it dropped 3-4 inches...you should be feeling every bump in the road on a quality setup.

but oh well maybe by the time I have a grand laying around I'll pick them up. will the struts/shocks be adjustable as well or no?

 

The 2.4LSS and the SS/SC have the same suspension minus a bigger front sway bar in the S/C.

 

This thread is worthless without pictures.

 

^^^^^agreed!

 

^^^I third that!

 

I can absolutely guarantee you that he's correct on the sway bar links as well. He bought them for me for my birthday and they're not even close to fitting, so the front struts, or at least they way things are mounted to them are significantly different as well. The mounting points sit about 2" lower on the FE5 suspension than they do on the FE3 suspension. The rear bar is also larger on the SS/SC (and yes there is one, it's inside the torsion beam).

 

PPPIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ALREADY! Damn im want to see a 4" drop on a redline

 

ooooo I am very intersted if I pick up a delta, and IonNinja nice rims, had the same ones on my cavalier....
