Tein S-Tech for Cobalt SS

I finally want to buy some springs for my cobalt SS/SC and I heard Tein makes S-Techs for the SS/SCs. Anyone in here has them on? I want see how they look before I buy them please.

Tein s-techs for other cars have been known to be utterly worthless. I have a set in my garage that I can't sell. They came with some shocks I wanted. Don't make the mistake of buying them.

Pedders and S-techs are nowhere near the same. Don't think for a second that they have similar handling capabilities.

Until I see some actual info on the pedders or go for a ride in your car will. All the coilover kits are the same in my eyes... And can be adjusted to attain the same goal.

The Tein coilovers outside of CSS are fantastic. Wouldnt expect any less for the balt

i don't have coilovers Steven.

At it's naive to think all coilovers are the same, i seriously doubt that if you tested the valving across a couple different setups that they would be even close to similar.

I meant in general for the whole pedder extravaganza; since you have their springs.

Eh.. naive or not...

You'll get a better result on a wider tire than going from fully adjustable coilover to another IMO.

I won't probise it handles better, even though it probably does but it's waaaay more dialed in.

What type of testing did you do to lead you to this conclusion?
