i'm into buying springs for my cobie LS and i'm getting 18'inch rims and i have the complete ss/sc body kit and a 3"inch exhaust. what springs would be best for me, take into consideration the body kit and the exhaust, i don't want the body kit or exhaust hitting the floor ?

 

(prepares flame suit)

 

Id actually be interested in knowing this too, im buying springs tomorrow and want to make sure the progress springs wont be too low for me to put some 18's on my ls without problems.

 

everybody is going to have their own tastes bro so prepare for an assorment of different answers. personally, i just put ssc springs on and love them. they ride as well as stock, but the car corners flatter. stance is perfect

 

im gonna get sportlines

 

Im going to say sportlines or progress but it really depends on the amount of drop you want as well as the price you are willing to pay.

 

i'm willing to pay watever but i want something low that hides away the gap from the wheel and i also don't want nothing hitting the floor

 

id like to go with B&G now that i heard it was pretty good, and the drop aint too bad. But eiabach are rated really highly and that would be a lot safer

 

I got Eibach prokit--it dropped it a LOT. the ride is kind of rough (Utah doesn't know how to maintain roads), but on a track, it's a great upgrade for a few hundred bucks.

 

eibach spring rates are extremly high, and youd want to put a new performance shock to beable to handle them, with any spring for that matter you'd want to put koni's on em. really it all depends on the drop and ride quality, i've always found that B+G have given cars a nice drop without sacrificing much comfort in driving. i had them on my previous cavalier and that thing handled good. I have them on my camaro, and i will be most likely getting them for the cobalt, either their springs or full coilover kit. really if u want a nice size drop with out sacrificing much comfort then B+G is an awsome spring to go with.

 

go with SSC's. THere REALLY good quilaty spring. i just installed mine and it looks amazing. + there only 139.99. I think there the best spring for the 2.2 with larger wheels.

 

lol, since no one else said it, i'll do the honors.......

"A 3" EXHAUST ON A 2.2 COBALT!?!?!? OVERKILLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

Now that thats done and out of the way.......

I have Eibach Sportlines on my 2.4SS. Ride quality is great, but in all honesty, I still wish the car was a little bit lower. I'm hoping my 19"s that are coming in the future will furfill my furthering need for less wheel gap.

 

prokit if youre really into driving hard or sportlines if youre into looks

 

Well under his user name it says turbocharged cobalt so if he is then the exhaust would be perfect.

I was thinking about getting the springs from progress but after seeing mkulrey13's pic I might have to reconsider Do you have anymore pics mkulrey13?

 

Does anyone own the H&R'S? I'm actually interested in buying a set of them since I'm running 16's on the Balt', but would like to see a photo of the drop before I do (frnt 1.4"; rear 1.5" I think)

 

They drop too low for the SS/SC.

 

My vote is for Eibach Sportlines. I made and read a lot of posts before getting mine and I love how they ride. They ride the same if not better than stock. The don't lower the front too much, but the back evens out with the front. You don't have much clearance....but you shouldn't have problems with the SS/SC bodykit or exhaust.

 

which springs are better----tenzo or sportlines? also will i scrape? i have the ss/sc body kit and 17 inch rims. will it rub if i carry people in the back of my car?

 

i have H&R sport on mine. i will post pics when i get home from work today.

 

 

^^^^Very nice... I would like to know what is the best handling "street" spring is??? Are they pretty much the same& how big of a difference in handling performance is it over stock? Thanks!

 

it handles very nicely. the tires do have some vey slight neg camber but not enough to make noticeable tire wear issues. i am also useing stock shocks and struts

 

Are those the sport or race H&R springs ?

 

sport

 

carbomb is the race springs lower than the sport? also do you get any vibrations from the springs and how has the shocks been holding up?
