In my life I only bought Koni/Eibach for every car I've owned, and my Cobalt was no exception. I was always happy with this setup. The only car I didn't have Koni/Eibach was my Dodge Charger, and that was only because Eibach makes both shocks and springs for it. Honestly I will never consider any setup different than Koni/Eibach for all the cars I will have in the future.

You're missing out I hated my sportlines with a passion, love YYZ V3's and it's a decent drop.

In the end though if you want more low you should really go for coilovers, I have Powell's trailing spherical bushings in both of my cars and love them.

For colors I would go with this

Nah i dont want to go that low thats for sure lol i just want a decent drop with out having to worry hitting a bump or something like that.

And thanks i have been thinking blue or purple or even yellow(since my sway bay,konis are yellow and if i end up getting powell trut housing for the koni inserts thats powdercoated yellow so i was thinking maybe doing a yellow suspension deal but idk how that would look with the purple of my car)

The color of your car IBM, honestly the design is growing on me but still prefer the clean look.

I can get you a little cheaper of a quote to beat them out. Also if you aren't happy with the springs you can return them for a refund. You will just have to pay shipping.

I will have another set of strut housings ready to go to powder coat on Friday. If you want them also let me know. You will have to buy them quick because apparently they are in high demand.

Well alittle update im my suspension already purchased the ottp springs so cant wait for them also i got the delrin LCAB and the spherical CAB and the strut housings for the koni fronts. Will be getting the moog enlinks and tie rods soon

On another note im wanting to buy some spacers to make the wheel more flush ive been looking around and im thinking of going for maybe a 15mm front and a 25mm rear but not sure yet. What set up do you guys have? That way i can get some ideas.
Also still looking to see what color to paint my calipers
