Looking for some lowering springs ....

Preferably not something that rides like .... &@$#!


OTTP
Powell V7
CM
ZZP

❤️❤️ ^^

Also if someone has LNF FE5 front struts I'd also be interested.

Pm me what you have .... I'm keen on all of the ones I've listed basically.

My car has sportlines right now and I've got to get those off.​​​

H&R sports on Koni Yellows

 

Sorry i wouldn't do H&R as there definitely not the softest riding spring for any car from what I've heard .... Konis are good though.

I'm seeing that CM's and OTTP are pretty much the best if you want lower than Powell which is definitely the best for handling but not necessarily for looks.

 

On yyz springs and koni yellow all around

 

Great picture Snail, but horrible contrasts for what shows the depth of the wheel well and the tires.

 

Haha yeah I saw it after I posted the pic but didnt feel like deleting the pic

 

Hope that helps same yyz springs as on the yello sedan

 

Very nice 👌 .... Are those the V7?
YYZ is generally considered the best springs but it's not near as low as the CM or OTTP right?

 

That looks pretty nice .... And if that rides great than I'd prefer those over anything that will ride stiffer and handling NOT as good.
Plus if this ship from Canada then there's the price point and shipping and no exchange rate frustrations 😀
​​​​​​V7?

 

It's the v3 but to what I know the new versions are the same.

Ottp for sure was lower that yyz ride wise I wanna say it was a bit harsher but not a lot

 

What's gonna be cheaper? Likely ottp right? But I'd still have to factor in shipping.

Is yyz factory type ride comfort?

I hate harsh ride .... It makes cars impractical as you can't even do back roads because of the constant smashing and skipping over bumps on turns.

ALSO DO I JUST call Powell for pricing+info?

 

YYZ has been unanimous in best comfort ride/handling, but it isn't the lowest. I think CM/OTTP are tied to drop an additional 1", and are pretty good too, but Powell parts are the best.
You need to email Gloria -> gloria@powellraceparts.com

...Goddamn I wish they would've let me rebuild their site I cringe every time I load it.

 

did they just tell you no?

 

They never answered me back, so it's an assumed "no". I even said I would do it for free, just something for me to keep my skills sharp.

 

I bought YYZ springs last year along with new FE5 struts/shocks, very harsh ride.

 

What???????

Sure they were real FE5 shocks and struts???

​​​​​​Got a pic of your car?

 

I'll say this lol ottp is harsher than yyz. but yyz aren't like stock like some people say they are harsh in a sense.

It could also be since I'm running koni yellows and had them set to half the setting. Now I have them set to 1/2 a turn (almost soft)and my car still rides harsh not bad but definitely harsh where sometimes my wife's complains lol

 

Did you offer to do it for free? Or just to redo it?

 

Complete rebuild with online store to take payments and to handle inventory - secured.

 

Just called them (Powell - Gloria) to order YYZ's ....
Both very easy and nice to talk to.

I do wish they had a store to order from, but there's nothing like talking to them to discuss exactly what you need.

They are both helpful as well to say the least.

Thanks to 🐌 SS I will be getting YYZ's

Cheers.

 

Nice man I'm sure you will be happy with them.

My yyz have 2 finger gap on the front and 3 finger gap on the back if that helps any lol

 

Yes, positive. Came from Crate Engine Depot in factory GM box and tags on part. I can get a pic in a few days. Cars filthy right now lol

 

Road fine for me for over 100k. What one considers soft is all relative to that person.

 

i feel like im the only one on the forum with a supercharged and turbod cobalt but the cars feel quite a bit different with the same sets of springs. theirs alot of different reactions for the springs cuz theirs 5 drivetrains on the cobalt and 3 different steering knuckles 5 transmissions u could of had.. lol

 

I will for sure .... I like suspension that isn't crashy.

​​​​​​There getting a batch up from the states so it'll be a few weeks ....

Ya I would have preferred 2 front and 2.25 back but hey it's not a big issue .... Handling is the biggest point here .... And not to high ride height.

Does the rear have spring pads? .... If it does I wonder if I could trim them somewhat for it to sit a tad lower.
