Picture from last summer...so it is missing a few things...but this is FE1 struts and shocks and Eibach Sportlines.



I can't remember if I had the OTT street bar on at this point or not, but I just installed the Ark antenna and strut bar.

I will get a new picture this summer when I am on FE5 struts and shocks with my Pedders. I will get a few different angles.

I still have to raise the strut towers in the front to get it to sit lower...

You have less wheel gap because I'm running a smaller overall wheel and tire diameter to get lower to the ground...

And no stance isnt about being the lowest, bein the lowest cobalt is about being the lowest,and you may think it looks bad, but hey...its DIFFERENT, and I love it

And that was before I put a front lip on if you want to talk about low to the ground instead of wheel gap for some reason.

Anyone using the other Eibach springs, I think they are called the pro kit. I really just want to lower the rear a little more as we have some messed up roads here.

Yes, I have run Eibach Pro-kit springs over FE5 front struts and Koni rear shocks. Not too low, nice ride, handles very well (particularly if you upgrad the rear swaybar). Here are a couple photos (two people in the car at speed - "standing-still" photos aren't a good view of springs):

http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_3106.jpg
http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_2894.jpg

Ignore the wheel/tire combination -- the wheels/tires in the photo are 18x10" wheels and Hoosier 285/30x18 slicks -- but they are the same diameter as stock 225/40x18 tires -- here's a photo of various tires for comparison (L to R -- 225/40x18 stock size, 285/30x18 slicks, 255/35x18 slicks, 245/45x17 Hankook R2Ss:
http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...HankookR2S.jpg

BTW, I'll down at Houston Raceway Park March 19-20 to autocross this car, come take a look if you want - the car will look mostly the same. I won't be on Pro-kit springs for the Houston event -- it'll be Ground Control coilovers and Eibach coilover springs.
