suspension first, then wheels.....they look goofy with wheels and no lowering, yet look a lot better when they are lowered regardless of wheels

SSC Springs, no unknowns please. Do them if you want but the black/chrome mix looks horrid on any car imo. If you want them than don't let me stop you, just giving my .02 cents. I would do wheels and tires first personally.

That was my initial thought about getting the wheels first, but considering i have a 4 door LT IMO it would look weird..If I get the springs first it will look like this guy's...

The SSC springs are $170 from ZZP

They should put you fairly close to what that picture is (probably sportlines), and handle fairly well.

I went to the actual ssc site and they said there are 2 types of springs for cobalts.

The SS drops about 1.25 inches..

but the regular aka LT or LS cobalt springs drop it 2 in the front and 1.5 in the back...
