Hi, i have a 07 cobalt LT and would like to know if these springs would work fine on my car? and is that a good brand or are there better ones that give me about a 2" drop at the rear and 1.5" front?

Thanks


EDIT** I found these ones, they don't drop as much but its almost the same. So which one works and is better?

 

If your going to pay 250 + duty fees for these you may as well buy these from a reputable company and shipping within Canada is free. I have never heard anything bad about these springs and I know of a few that have them.

The Cobalt springs are only 210.

 

Thanks for the reply

I don't have to make a account with that website? it just takes me to PayPal and they get the shipping info?

Anyone have a comment on these springs, i don't want to buy springs just because there cheap i don't care about playing a little more for better quality.

 

The Canuck springs are great quality springs. It has nothing to do with price, just trying to help ya out but it never hurts to do some research.

Cheers

 

a few members on here have canuck and say good things about them

dont get sprint...

eibach is great brand, but the prokit wont drop you 2" if thats what you are looking for you need to get the sportlines.

 

The Canucks drop the front by 1.9" front and 1.6" rear. Yeah, eibach are nice also.

 

the canucks will give you the opposite drop of what you're looking for though.

guess who manufactures Sprint springs? Canuck Motorsports...hahaha. That's what they told me awhile back when I bought mine for the Cavalier. So there's nothing wrong with Sprint springs...lol

 

I though the Canuck Motorsports springs drop 1.9 rear and 1.6 front? Thats what I'm looking for.

 

Sprint has been around for a few years, otherwise you can do Eibach (leader in the industry)

 

hey i was looking at these on ur site, how much for shipping to Ontario Canada? and these would drop my LT nicely right?

is says 2.0 in front and 2.5 in rear drop is that for the SS or for my model?

Thanks

 

no it's the other way around...1.9 front and 1.6 rear.

 

Isn't that what i said in post 8. haha

 

sure is...he has to hear it twice...lol

j/k

 

Ok I'm going with these ones, i well get a 2.0 in front and 2.5 in rear drop on my LT right? this is not for the SS model?

Thanks you!

 

good choice.

 

Those Sprint springs suck ass, I had them on my Cobalt.

 

LOL than what springs should i get? Everything I find someone says it sucks, so whats left?

 

The ones you are looking at "Eibach - Sportlines" are well respected here. Just a heads up though, you may want to look at new struts in the future as the lower the drop, the more likely you are to eventually burn out your factory. Koni struts are pretty well the best bang for the buck. But you likely won't need the struts right away.

 

Ok thanks, how would i know i need new struts? and how much are we talking here?

 

Its kind of difficult to tell if the strut is blown but one quick way is to look up at the strut to see if any fluid is leaking out. If so, the strut is blown. But you would likely feel it in the ride quality well before that.
You will eventually notice ride quality deteriorate (rough ride, car tends to 'bound' over bumps). But some members here have run the Sportlines for quite a long time (over a year) without any issues. The life of your struts depend on quite few things: where you drive, alignment, how you drive, etc. So its very difficult to speculate on how long they will last.

As for new strut prices, you are likely looking at $500+ Cdn for a set of 4 plus installation (can be done easily on your own), plus alignment.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Get Eibach Sportlines but upgrade your struts way before 10k miles on them if you can.
