SSC Springs Questions :O

09 LT Sedan + SSC Spring = ????

Cobalt 05-09 - 2 inch drop front and 1.5 inch drop rear....thats what the site says...now I dont know about you guys but to me it seems like the front of every cobalt sedan is lower than the back..

So if it drops 2 in the front and 1.5 in the back....will it look retarted?

Im planning to get Konig Unknowns either 17 or 18 next month (let the trolling begin)

So are they worth it? I heard you feel all this vibration stuff happen when you put the springs on.

I had SSC springs on my LT sedan and I thought the drop was perfect. You will have about 2 fingers of wheel gap left, perfect for daily driving.

They make the car sit almost level. The drop is nice, but I found them a bit too soft for my taste. FYI, Canuck Motorsports springs are the same springs. They make them for SSC. I think you can get CM springs on Ebay cheaper than SSC's. You won't find a better spring set for this price!

not just the same drop, they are the same springs. CM makes the SSC springs.

Apparently they have TC spring rates so that sounds like a win in my book.

SSC is a Canadian Company. Ya they're the same springs. If you want it to say SSC on the box order them from ZZP

the number on the site says 604 591-9898, which is a canadian number

They have the closest to the stock LNF LE5 spring rate you can get in a spring which is what I wanted...

Factory Ride quality, sexy drop.... whats not to like.
