Post up pictures of your Cobalt coupe lowered on 18s!
Hello all,

I picked up a set of 18x8 wheels for my SS. Looking for some examples of the perfect stance on 18s.

Please post pictures of your car with which springs you have, and your tire size. Thanks!

Nah, not really. It's definitely noticeable but it's not huge

I like how the pedders front sit, i think that's perfect. I just wish the rear sat like a half inch lower. But I'm definitely happy with them

I meant it as it looks as if the car barely dropped because of the pedders and that he went from stock suspension to cobalt ls suspension Lol

Here are some pictures of mine. I'm lowered on H&R race springs. The wheels are OZ Ultraleggeras 18x8.

My car on the left, Billig SS/SC is on the right.










I'm pretty sure H&R springs give the lowest drop, but the ride is a little harsh. If you don't mind that, get em! I might be selling my set soon. Just ordered a set of Ksport coilovers.

How harsh is the ride with H&R? And what size tires? Looks awesome!
