Suspension Setup

I have a 06 ss/sc and was wondering what the best suspension setup would be. Coilovers or springs? I am not worried about comfort,looking for more performance. I drive through 20 miles of mountain driving daily and go to a road course often to race for fun. I do drive very aggressive. Any help would be appreciated.

you live in Whittier why don't you come out to any meets?

Anyways coilovers would be the best but if money is an issue then springs will do

Here is some info to help its a listin of all the Coilover available for th Cobalt. No one can truly answer you question because I might think one is better than someone else. THey are not compared side by side to see which is best. I would look for Features vs Price vs Warrenty.

SS/TC struts and shocks are currently the best street dampers on the market in the imo. So that pretty much eliminates coilovers unless you are looking to get some custom Motons for around $3k or drop even more money for Anze, Koni or Ohlins.
