trying to get some ideas on lowering my g5 gt. trying to lower 2 inches so i need some suggestions.

 

i went with eibach. Super impressed with the results. Sportline series. Paid about 200cdn

 

I did the Eibach Pro-kit, it's about 1.5" all the way around. I have perfectly even wheel gap all the way around and a flawless ride.

 

Halfcent, did you change your stock struts/shocks when you upgraded to the prokit? I'm planning on getting the same springs but I want to be sure the other stock suspenseion components of a 2.2 can handle the drop.

 

There are NO Aftermarket shocks/struts for the cobalts (yet) Theres also a few different choices on lowering your car. Progress, Eibach, SSC (offered by ZZperformance.com) and Tenzo are the most common. I run Tenzo's and love them, haven't had any strut issues and have been running them for about 2K now. They offer 2" front 2.5" rear drop. And no it dosent make the rear sit lower than the front.

Halfcent was somewhat amazed by them when he saw them on my balt. haha

 

Hey, does your car in the sig. have the Pro Kit springs on? I thought about going with the Pro Kit because I didn't want to go too low, but I don't want to have to regret that afterwards.

 

I realize there are no aftermarket struts, but I was considering upgrading to the gas pressurized system used on the SS/SC and Redline.

 

using the pro kit isn't too bad. the struts will sag a bit so u'll get probably a 2" drop out of em. I know i got a bout 2.75" to 3" all around on sportlines. still doesn't look low enough lol these things are trucks

 

Well a GOOD suspension is a lot more than springs and lowering. It all depends on what your using the car for. Are you Auto-X'ing? Drag? Daily Driving?

 

My sig pic is BEFORE the drop. The car looks a bit more level now since the Pro-Kit drops the rear a little more then the front.

I am on stock struts and shocks and have no issues. Car is tight. When I do replace them, I can put GM stock SS/SC struts and shocks in it. Pro-kit is almost the same exact ride height as the SS/SC, and the parts are interchangable across platforms.

 

If you want a full 2 inch drop you also have the h&r springs also

 

If thats what you want then thats ptobly a good bet

 

Thanks guys, appreciate the help. Now I just have to find a place that'll sell them cheaper then the Sportlines, which is nearly impossible.

I'll probably end up looking for them after Winter. Still waiting on my intake...

 

Believe it or not, Sear Auto Centers sell Eibach springs. I'm not kidding.

 

Where'd you get yours from? I know I should be shopping around, but I'm kinda lazy...lol

I'll leave the shopping to my future wife...

I just need to know where the bargains are.

 

I bought them from the classified section of this web site.
