Ok, so what's the deal about the thread where someone is saying Stance Coilovers suck?
Mine is going to be a straight up Daily Driver, and hit some local car meets over the summer. No track time, drag racing, auto crossing. My Cobalt is too slow to do any of that. I just want awesome slam-ability with a tolerable, comfortable ride. I was under the impression Stance was the best because it's perfect for daily reliability and comfort. but some guy is actually saying K-sport and Megan are actually better for just a daily driver. and that Stances are just cheap Chinese coil overs with a name and huge price tag.
Am I wasting money on Stances? I'm buying this week so i need to know. Help me out fellas.

Yeah i figured that. But this guy named "whyyoumadson?" in this thread:
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/susp...lovers-241572/
Says that kw variant 2's are the best coil overs for our cars. And makes a strong point...but he also is basing this on a car he races. I'm not racing my Cobalt.
In it he says:
He later goes on to say if your just lowering the car for looks and show all you need are Megans or K-sports. I've heard horror stories about Megans but people are raving about how great the Stances are. You guys all like the Stances so I'm just going to stick with that then. But this guy makes some good points.
Anyone know anything about KW V2's?

they (Stance) were good for street driving ONLY. the problem is all the coilover over companies with the exception of megan and kw use higher rates in the front then in the rear which is a no no with front wheel drive..
megan uses equal rates but are a complete fail in shock valving and spring design.....kw i forgot the spring rates but they use a german outfit for machining everything and have top nothc valving....but remember this is the kw vairant 2 not the variant 1. the kw variant 1 is similar to stance....
There's a big difference.....stance is china made kw is german made....kw is HIGHER QUALITY. from my experiance the stances have ok valving and poor spring rates but are manufactured pretty good.. a company called hsd actually makes stance and if you can hind a set of hsd for the cobalt they are a little cheaper. kw i feel is a superior product on all ends.
stance will drop about .5" more then the kws.

I have thought about painting the centers but not right now i think next winter im going to completely refinish them, polish all the lips get new bolts and powdercoat the centers. But know knows might get bored this summer and do it.

I really like taht +16. i wanna see what someone runs in 18s without rubbing.....this is make the 15mm spacer up front sound like a plan for a +27 offset. and maybe a 12 or 10 in the back so it matches the poke 
I dont think i could run a 19mm adapters with 18x8 + 23 on 225/40 id rather do adapters than studs and spacers but meh if i could run 19mm adapters id do it in a heartbeat

My intake rubs.
My tires rub the fender lip while turning.
While braking firmly, the tires rub the top or the inner fenders.
When hitting expansion joints at any kind of speed, i can hear all four tires rub.
Dips are my enemy.
Both my front tires, and my driver's side rear tire have wear lines from rubbing.
The front tires have polish marks from the tires simply rubbing the fenders while turning.
I love every minute of it.
