Ok guys im thinking about getting springs for my 06 cobalt ss/sc. Im not sure which ones to get as of yet. How are the ride qualities with any type of springs because I want the best ride possible. I dont want my car to ride like **** after I install springs. Im looking at H&R race springs, ssc springs, progress, and eibach sportlines. Any information and pics are great thanks guys.

 

bump

 

I just put the Eibach Sportlines on my car and the ride is amazing...sure it's a bit bumpy but overall on the highway it's smooth and comparable to stock ride (i actually think it's better) and the handling is just phenomenal..

 

anyone else?

 

i have sprint springs and they ride really close to stock. everyone that i know who has lowered cars say it really rides like stock. like anything lowered i scrape on lil dips or driveways more often because i have a lip kit, handles better, and harsh potholes your still gonna feel.

 

bump for today

 

My springs handle and feel a lot better than stock.

 

ayy for all you people who have springs out there you cant help a buddy out

 

i have the progress, it's a little harsher than stock, but only when i hit the bit bumps or like RR tracks

 

Anyone have any strut problems? Axle problems due to the greater angle of the cv joints?

 

i haven't had any problems since i have had them on....feels to me like it accelerates a bit harder (not engine related but grip wise)....

 

anyone care to share?

 

H&R race spring are great,provide incredible handling BUT you should buy koni shocks.Im still running my spring without koni shocks(2 years since the install summer winter car)and now im really tired of th hard ride but still enjoying the twisted roads :P

 

Well Eibach are a very well made and great quality

 

i've had my eibachs on for about 10,000 miles now and they checked the shocks the other day and said they were fine. They ride smooth until you hit a pothole or big bump like a chunk of ice or something and then it feels like the car is gonna fall apart. I would definitely recommend them.

 

Its that bad that it feels like the car will fall apart lol?

 

Yeah it's a loud boom and the car rattles. I think that hitting the bumps for this many miles it's rattling everything loose.

 

So its honestly probably not worth me lowering because I have soooo many bumps where I live.

 

Well, Idk how bad the bumps are. Are they everywhere? I wouldn't put the factory springs back on now that i've got it lowered. It's a totally different look. I love it!

 

They are everywhere for about 5 min and then I reach the good roads and highway

 

5 minutes isnt bad. Just take it easy and you'll be fine. It'll be worth it for the handling and the looks. I say go for it.

 

We do give up our angled stance right? If im not mistaken the eibachs drop makes the car even. I was still looking for the angled stock stance.

 

Yeah it is even but man it's perfect.

 

Yea lol

 

if you plan on keeping your car for ever I recommend getting Koni shocks. Koni because thats the only one out there. There is a good chance that your shocks will break over time like one of mine did. Plus the ride is not that great on stock shocks. Only nice ride on highway.
