PRO KIT DROPS 1.6" fr/1.8"r(non ss) 0.0"fr/0.5"r(SS)

SPORT KIT DROPS 2.0"fr/2.5"r(non ss) 1.0" fr/1.3"r(SS)

Yes the Tenzo's have the same drop. Also check out the CA #1 Sport Springs, they are a 1.75" Front, 2.25" rear. Not as much as the Tenzo/Sport kit but lower then the Pro Kit. I think its a pretty nice medium.

He had 17's with the SSC springs in those pics. They are a little bit less of a drop than the Sportlines, but more than the Pro-Kit.

i want to lower my cobalt ls with Eibach prokit or sportlines but i'm not sure which ones would be better, i heard from someone that if you drop it past two inches you would need a camber kit. anyone know what i should do

i just got my sportlines from A+ Performance for $223 shipped. i havn't put them on yet bc install is a pita but if i do anytime soon ill definately have some pics... but heres the thread for the GB
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/supporting-vendor-deals-group-purchases-133/eibach-sportline-lowering-springs-group-purchase-50206/ But who knows how much longer that will go on and if you will make it bc you said you gotta wait another month.

and i hope he doesn't mind but cobaltcoupe also just posted a bunch of pics of his car on sportlines you can check those out here https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appearance-48/pics-my-car-eibach-sportlines-58729/

btw my tires are 215/45/17 so if i get mine on soon enough i can give u a good idea of what yours will look like

Install on the Springs is simple. 2 hours with hand tools.

i just installed my ssc springs with my 17's and it looks amazing. the install i think is easier then doing an oil change. took me about 2 hrs to do mine. the backs take litterly 5 mins. you will need to buy struts sometime down the road tho.
