I'm sorry but I'm just going to say what I think...

It's fugly. Mainly the rims and tires but I really just don't like it. Please have at least some performance upgrades. Why not 18's so less tire?

But remember it really only matters if you like it so... don't give a **** what others say.

Less tire = a harsh ride. I've never had coilovers before, didn't know what to expect. Plus the roads here are total crap. It's nice now so I'm happy.
Bro did you notice the tow hook? Performance mod right there! Thats genuine PRS race quality.

I was looking at your pics. My wife walked by at the same and her exact words were "Jesus! That's not a car. That's a 4x4!".

definitely a good start. i noticed you went with 50 tires for comfort but i think a 40 would change the look completely and if you put it down a little more it would look better as well. I don't think anyones roads are good lmao

I did have air bags in the rear springs then, but you get the idea.
More low will come, as well as less tire and more rim one day maybe. I'm satisfied, plus the ladies like it so who cares

I had to use the crappy road line, I hear it everywhere lol
I haven't seen many people pull off a 16" rim on a cobalt, thought I would give it a shot. It's a good start I think.
Thanks for your opinions, good or bad, just makes it better for me lol

I'm still pretty sure my LS sits lower on the stock springs (2009). I'm going to go for performance first then looks though so although I'm tempted to get rims it's speed and handling first. Although the 16'' GM accessory wheels for only $400 is very tempting.

^ Pics or I call BS lol these fat tires rub as it is.
And incase anyone was wondering, these coilovers are actually a great performance modification. The handling with these things is unreal. As long as you don't slam it to the ground. Also the tires I got are a "high performance" summer tire, not some all season sh*t from walmart. We'll see once I hit the track.

That's cool bro, not a jab at you by any means. Lets see some pics though.
I have more mods than you can see, a couple cosmetic things sure. But no neons or anything that doesnt serve a real purpose.

I guess I'll post a pic monday since I work 12 hours tomorrow, but it's going to look like ****.

I mainly was asking what performance mods you had besides the coilovers rather than just saying it's got a lot. I'll admit my car is quite lackluster but I personally hate those rims (really the thing that ruins your car for me at least) and would love to have 250 WHP (end of summer goal) on steelies who would expect that

That would be cool, the sleeper effect is great. I loved the look of this style rim on my buddies BMW, I had to try it out. I'm planning a massive N/A build, but for now I've got the usual intake, full exhaust, short shifter and rotated mounts, another PRS piece. John Powell does some awesome work, and really knows his sh*t. There's a lot on the to do list lol

Looks good, beefy. Lower it more and it'll look better.

The sleeper effect won't work quite as good when I bought a used Ark N-ll catback, which if you don't know has a 4.5 inch tip but it sounds great.

Anyways looking at my car this morning I realise how high it is.

I like it. It's not slammed on 18's like everyone else. It's yours.

Thanks. I could have went with MSR's or Varrstoen's, but you said it. It's mine, I don't want it to blend in with all the other balts.
