I wanted higher than 10k but randy advised against it. If he likes 10k that low then they should be fine haha

11k up front and 15k in the back** my bad. But yeah he got shorter and stiffer springs as well as shorter struts...but he's flared and can't even go lower with his new wheels so I don't understand why he did that.

This was him on yellowspeed coiloivers and his old wheels.

no they look like ****. His car is a huge riceball of mistakes once you start looking closer. The rear fender is that way because the door seam is there though.

Hmm that doesn't sound like a bad idea.. I'm not sure of the mileage though and I dont know if it would just be cheaper to buy new coils. The rubber bushing on one shock in the rear is shredded and the shock hits my frame.

Maybe you could get them rebuilt. I have some bc rear shocks i could sell ya but they are the cartridge only, no sleeve. Im sure you could buy the sleeves from BC

I'm not sure what I wanna do yet lol. I do like how low the Stances get but I'd love a stiffer rear spring. I think the front feels pretty planted but that could be because the rear is bouncing so bad lol When I was one47 it was so hard to get the power to the ground because the car would just bounce.

bcs are by far the best for the money and swift springs can go on them and pretty much give you any rate you want. the fact they offer inverted bodies is a good enough reason to purchase them over the stances.

I think the custom Stances have great rates, 9k/8k. Pretty stiff ride, I feel every bump,
but I'm not bouncing everywhere. They just don't go that low as you know Brian, I have one ring removed from the front and both from the rear and I'm not tucking. I'm happy with the way my car sits though even though it probably could use moar low lol. If I were you I'd go with BC.

I'd get these if you want low, BTW just take out the space between your and cobalt and the links will work.

yep i am becauseive had stances and was not impressed at all. only thing they were good for was getting low.in all honesty for the money spent they are no better then the bcs on and off the track. the bcs with inverted bodies are the same price as the stances but the inverted body alone makes it even more worth it then the stances.

stance finally did something after i kept opening my mouth along with some others about the spring rates not being proper and did a custom run. but after having them the only thing good about stance is they are serviced 20 minutes away from me.
