First post here.
I'm not familiar with the Cobalt, but have a few J-bodies.
I just picked up a 06 LT for my wife. We like it, but it looks like a 4x4
I'd like to drop it a little, but not as much as most lowering springs.
Will the SS/SC springs give me any, or is there an alternative thats good for ~1" drop?
Thanks.

 

They will do just fine for a drop like that. Rides a little stiffer i believe that it is a lot better.

 

yes it will give you some. but no one has any real hard numbers on an exact number. but it will get rid of most of the 4x4 look

 

itll drop it like an inch

 

if it wasn't so darn cold where I'm at i would be able to let you know. I got a set to put onto my car.

 

so do i

 

yea, but i also got headers and downpipe, and with the springs i got the shocks too.

 

but you dont have an exhaust to go with it ?

 

i was going to buy one at the end of january, but im a little low on cash right now. Don't have time for a job with school and track.

 

I don't want to sound like a retard baby, but do you only have to replace the springs for the car to be lowered? I'm wanting to get some for my LS.

 

yea i no that feeling. but theres always birthday and graduation gifts

im only doing the springs, but you could do everything else if your really worried about it

 

Yes it will lower it, you can do other things if you want more of a drop.

thats true, my bday is in march, so ill either ask for money or an itouch-need a mp3 of sorts- but i might get a job in the spring and then the exhaust will be coming soon.

 

well at least your planning it out. i no of some people that just buy and buy but dont think about how they are going to pay for it all in the end. then theres 3k on the credit card

 

Thanks. I don't want the drop to be too extreme, the roads are pretty unpredictable around here.

 

thats the same way with me, not to mention i have some bumps going to my house.

a good reason i don't have a credit card. Not the fact I'm still only 17 haha.

 

just get 1 through the bank with a 500 dollar limit when you get a job and you should be good

 

Oh yea i was planning on doing that, but again that hole job thing comes up, haha.

 

there are plenty of jobs in reston. but not so much here in prince william county

 

yea, i bet, i mean the jobs can be here, but at the same time i just don't have the time, we shall see come a month when my winter sport is over.

 

juggling a job, school and a sport is difficult i tried it. grades suffered pretty bad so i quit the sport to pay for the car lol

 

i got lucky dealing with my car. turns out my parents actually do like me haha.

 

yea my mom loved me enough to put down the down payment. but no complaints here at least i have a car i can pay for

 

thats good man. my parents wanted my grades more then me working for a car which is why i got my car like i did. and believe it or not, when i do sports and such, i focus more on my school work too, but if i had work ontop of that i just wouldn't have the time to keep my grades.

 

yea man i feel you on that. trying to stay on the sports team so you keep your grades up. sorry it took me so long we had a nice battle in the dungeon i couldnt get away from lol
