It doesn't have any reccomendations but since I've had these twice already that's what I came up with

Just saw a pic on the B&G site of a white TC ridin on these. So now I wanna put em on lol you cut yours 1/3 of an inch? damn lol

I'm planning on taking the top bumpstop off on both sides to see approx where the spring wants to sit normally with the car on the ground.

Bought as it sits. Looking to replace the springs, shocks, and struts. Think they cut the springs or heated them. It handles great but doesn't like bumps.

I have a cobalt it has 80k miles, I would really like to lower it a little bit and in the process change my shocks and struts. I found some lowering springs for $130 and if I get stock shocks and struts it will be about $220 so I figured if I spend $500 I could get something a little better, any suggestions?
Thanks

for about 600 you can get some koni yellow inserts and some progress, ssc or h&r springs. koni yellows require some heavy modification...sorta. you sacrifice your stockers for them. for about 850 you can grab megan 32 way coilovers.

yeah he's poking hardcore. one thing i've always wondered...how do these cars not bounce like crazy? if there's any suspension travel the wheels/tires would destroy the fenders. i know they rub but still...it looks pretty serious.
