Take the old ones out put the new ones in, it will be easier with a spring compressor, it's not going to be "slammed"

as said, wont be slammed. its rather simple to change out the suspension in these cars. just make sure you take your time and do everything correctly. air tools and a spring compressor will make your life alot easier doing this. goodluck and post pictures when done

You're not slammed if you bought springs, buy coilovers or bags then you will be slammed

Buying the right coilovers is the only way to "slam" it. Like I said, Im lowered 4 inches compared to stock and I wouldnt consider myself slammed at all. Maybe compared to other cobalts, but not to other cars. No my axles dont bind, I bought rotated trans mounts to prevent that. F23 cars really shouldnt have to much of a problem either, its more the SS guys with their trans/axle set-up that bind a lot.


Pic because Blazin posted pics...
