So Long story short, I had Ksport coils on the balt. They have been on there for like 5 years and after awhile just became worn out and I got sick of the ride. (I Have a CTS-V also and it spoiled me with ride comfort) So I just went to Advance auto and picked up some Monroe quick struts and installed them. Well after install the cobalt sits like a monster truck. reverse rake and everything.

Im just wondering will the springs settle down to somewhere close to stock height after a few weeks? Everyone has been telling me it will but im having my doubts cause I can stick my whole fist in between my fender an tire. lol Im hoping it will settle down and all.

Any input is really appreciated

 

the quick struts are for the base model, not the SS there are two different ride heights between them. It will not settle down, you'll have to change the springs in the strut

 

See I knew it was gonna be some bullshit like that.. that's crap. they have it listed under 2.0 SC at advanced an ****. but I noticed different part numbers on rock auto for them.. ugh.. anywhere I can find Stock springs?

 

It fits, but it says in most fine print not for the FE5 suspension (aka SS suspension)

 

I never saw it say anything about the FE5 suspension so I didn't think much of it.. but what ever. If I put drop springs on or the stock FE5 springs will the struts give me an issue?

 

They will work but wont last as long since they are crappy struts sitting lower than they were made to. I have a set of fe5 ss/sc springs if your interested.

 

I have f5 tc springs if your interested

 

They won't handle well because they are the soft struts designed for base models

 

I have a set of stock LSJ springs in my garage.
40k on them. Florida car. No rust.

PM me. Toss me a little cash and shipping and they are yours.

 

Thank you guys but im gonna get the cheapy megan racing lowering springs and put them on. If it don't handle that well then ill get some kyb struts and put those springs on.. such a bitch that this happened. I payed 115 each strut. and another like 110 to have it all installed.

 

I would return those and get some fe5 struts off amazon. They are like $85 a piece. Then buy some lowering springs or buy some stockers from a member off here. And you should be able to do this all yourself. There are a few detailed "how to's" on here to help you through it. Its easier than you think

 

I actually thought about that yesterday, Going to ZZP and getting the KYB struts and then some Tien drop springs an putting them in. and is it easy to put it all together?
