looks nice ,i'm a fan of meaty fitment, i'm running the same size spacers on the SS/SC wheels (well 1" all around) i might have to go steal the wheels off my wife's Redline so i can drop the cobalt a little more lol.

the problem in my mind is this. Folks slam their car more and more. get it lower. Very few, like nathan and Josh and Randy O stick with it. Most of the folks who do get lower get so p o'd by the crappy ride they dump the car, get rid of it.

To my mind, it is so sad to see any car, and the Civics are probably the worst, hard bouncing around, dancing and darting around manhole covers.

Its not much fun from my point of view, to punish yourself for looks. So if you can achieve a drop and still have a decent ride, props to you all.

PS I have noticed that the latest and last gen Vdubs seem to be able to get good drop and retain decent ride. Just sayin' Not sure what they do,

People think it's easy to go low and get a good ride quality. It takes a lot of time and effort and in my adventures, lots of r and d. Not many cobalt owners are into doing any real work to strive towards a goal. I assume it's because most of the owners are younger people, probably still in high school. But that's just my opinion. Thanks for the kind words, John.
