Hey guys,
ok. So theres the eibach sportlindes, h&r springs, and zz springs. List what your using and how low the drop is. Also, list if you ur car for autocrossing.

Nate

 

Theres also Tenzo's

Thats what i'm on and love em!


Rear Wheel "Gap"


Full side view, crappy light, decent view

And no I have not Auto-X'd yet.

Had to add 2" fron drop, 2.5" Rear

 

I plan on going with Sportlines, as soon as Koni releases some Yellows for the Cobalt.

 

I have sportlines, jsut not installed, holding off till struts come out.. at least keep telling my self that!

 

Theres also MIR springs, they are local and have a stiffer roll than eibach sportlines....front 1.95....rear 1.75

 

there is also the eibach porkit.. i think its like a 1.5 and 1.8 in drop, but i think those are for more handleing.. like u said for autox

 

ive got the sportlines.

 

Sportlines right after install



After settling

 

I have Progress springs
2.0"F 1.8"R
No autocrossing

 

I have the SSC springs 1.5" front 1.3" rear
rear gap




Sorry I dont have any stock pics.

 

I have progress, and love them. They lowered my car quite a bit, and the ride isn't too firm.

 

Damn Mercury, thats a great stance those springs gave you.

 

I have ssc springs from zzp. I think they have the best drop for the price.

 

h&r FTW

 

MIR Springs. Local? in bc, lowermainland? mm.. anywebsite to buy them? almost 2 in front and 1 3/4 in rear. Thats what i want. Do you have pics of your drop?

Nate

 

K. Doing some research..this is what I have found:

Tenzo R
STANDARD SUSPENSION: 2.0" Front Drop and 2.5." Rear Drop.
SUPERCHARGED SS COUPE: 1.0" Front Drop and 1.3." Rear Drop.
Eibach Race Springs
Cobalt vehicle 1.6" in front and 1.8" in rear and Lowers SS Supercharged Coupe vehicle 1.0" in front and 1.3" in rear
H&R
1.6" Front & 1.75" Rear Drop. (only has one drop listed..nothing about diff model cobalts)
Progressive
Drop for standard Cobalt is 2.0" Front and 1.8" rear. Cobalt SS 2.0SC may not drop as low. For Chevrolet HHR, drop is 1.4" Front and 1.6" Rear.
(all from gravana webiste)

So how come the SS doesn't drop as much as the other models of the cobalt? I would assume that the 2.0 engine was just as heavy as the 2.2l

Trying to compare the H&R to the progressive in the pics of this thread but hard to tell whos is lower. How many fingers can you fit in the fender above the tire?

Nate

 

it's because the SS/SC is already slightly lowered 1/2" from the factory when compared to the base models.

fyi - the SSC springs are local too...

 

Check out this thread. One of the mods received the ssc springs and took some descent pics. I know it lowered mine pretty good also.

I have sportlines. According to the website sportlines drop 1.0 front 1.3 rear and the pros only drop the rear .5 to level the car out.

 

SSC springs i just put the rears in sits perfect dont have to worry about scrapping or any other crap. And it sits level. Didnt loose ride quaility at all either handles just fine.

where can i get the progressive springs from?? seems they give a good drop

 

just about any supporting vendor on the site.

 

where can you get the H&R lowering springs?

 

anybody in Ontario driving thier lowered SS in the winter yet?
If so, how is it with good winter tires?
(this is my main concern for dropping it, cause of winter)

 

H&R race spring on mine,look pretty good
