Hello all, I'm sorry in advance for this post. I have a 07 cobalt ls and want to lower it slightly and get a better ride. Ride is more important than lowering. I was looking at eibach pro kit springs. What would be a good option for shocks? Also I know I need springs and shocks, what else is entailed to complete this mod? I've searched but am still confused, thanks in advance!

 

Define better ride. Better in corners of more like a pile of mush over bumps? I hear nothing but complaints on the ride quality and quality in general of Eibach parts. I have SS springs and FE5 struts/shocks and love them. Little lower and way better around corners.

 

Better corners, stock has a lot of roll, I've given a bit of thought to a setup like yours. Excuse my ignorance but are the FE5 struts/shocks stock on the SS?

 

Been on eibach sports for 6 years now and I still love em. Yes the ride is a little harsher but I'm not driving a caddy, I drive a built balt. Oh yeah got the SS struts and shocks.

 

SS struts/shocks seem to be a pretty popular choice. How expensive are they new? A ballpark at least would be good.

 

Around $300 shipped to the door.

 

What's the best place to buy? Sorry for the million questions guys just been out of the car thing for a while! Thanks again!

 

Cobalt FE5 Struts and Shock Pkg FE5-S

I bought mine here. There's a guy in El Paso selling Eibachs for $50 and I've been really tempted but afraid of the functionality.

 

amazon is good too, just make sure you get the right part number.

 

I'm curious to see some pictures of an ls with SS springs and struts/shocks. Get them, $50 isn't terrible if you don't like them, also you could probably sell them easily if you didn't wanna keep them

 

How about pics of SS springs on a G5? Same thing basically. They aren't that low but I didn't buy them because they were. I bought them because FE1 is a failure around every corner. Now that I look at it I really want lower.

 

The lean in corners can be addressed by getting an SS/TC front roll bar and a rear bar from Powell, no more roll for sure.
