Not too shabby, not too far off from what my CM springs are.

very nice lol. to think we got a solid load number at about 900 lbs, and rising rate to a smidge higher than v.1 ( although the rake is different which wont help drag racers and road racers) gotta thank the Hyperco guys in USA for meeting my design parameters- thats a very good spring material there, unmatched by the other guys for the money- and did I say rising rate? * pumps fist, bumps teammates*

They look perfect! The look is very similar to my Pedders after 65,000 miles. Every time I drive over the train tracks, it's like a kick to the kidneys. I'm looking forward to some long-term reviews of these springs because I don't know how much longer I can live with these Pedders. Every time I hit a bump it feels like the rear end is dragging... they feel way too soft.

These feel firm but soft. It makes the car feel more planted but its much smoother and softer feeling than stock. But there not squshy there just right. And gets rid of shaking.

I got your PM and need to get the hunter alignment sheets on your car, the exact ride height and the dealer information so we can ship out a new set of springs and get the fronts back to analyze. If the springs are faulty at the front, once that is confirmed by engineering, we will pay for the installation of the new set.

Its important in cases where you have issues, and have quite properly PM'd me, to get good numbers for ride height and alignment, and to be able to send you asap a new set of springs, so we can get the ones back that you are not happy with. Once thats done, we can speak to your issues, but for sure we want to make you 100%. Its easy to replace the springs, its analyzing the ones you have that is important to us, and while its hard for me to think that Hyperco didnt make a spring perfectly, well , stranger things have happened!

john@powellraceparts.com. Please email right away so I can ship springs out first thing tomorrow. Name address etc.. and your VIN. I only just logged on since lunch time, so sorry didnt respond sooner.

Thanks for the PM I appreciate that, it looks like you dont want to change them. Thats fine, please pm or email or post here the ride height numbers through the axle centerline, ground to fender lip and share if you would not mind. And give me that info., on install costs please. Thanks...

UPDATE: Poster decided to keep what he had...no further issues.

V2 in RIDE QUALITY, heck yes !
Like John says, BE PREPARED TO BE AMAZED !
Way way better than any ride quality I have experienced in a G5/Cobalt period !

in ride height, I'm trying to like it on my GT after sportlines, but not sure I can get over it.
I may have a set for sale soon if I can't

for me any change from the stock height is a gud thing, and the ride quality is a huge plus for the wife n kids.
