yea. i asked a guy and he looked it up in his fancy lil book of his and he said the biggest u can put on a cobalt non-ss is 17. if u go 18 then will rub when turning too tightly.

personally ive been thinking about getting the pro-kit from eibach... anyone have any experience with these? i just dont want my car as low as the sportlines, but i want something that'll take away a lot of the body roll. i know the sportlines are lower, but i'd like to see a cobalt 2.2 with the pro-kit

i was thinkin that, but one reason i want springs is to get rid of the 4x4 status of my car. i wanted a pair of goldlines, but when i ordered they had just sold the last pair like an hr before me. they drop it like 1.5-1.75 inches. right in between. but no, so im gonna go with the ksports, cheaper and drop it a good amount.

thats completely retarded, were no different then the SS's on that aspect, and things like offset and tire size are going to play a huge roll as well, if i was you id never listen to that guy ever again

idk. to me the sc springs dont drop enough. and the prokits are an even bigger drop but it wasnt enough. and the sportlines are too much for me. lol. thats why im goin wit the ksports. cheaper and a bigger drop. but u'd have to talk to someone who has em about ride quality. not sure on that right now. ill let u know tho.
I LOVE EM!

i'd love to put springs on my ls but i dont trust myself to compress the springs and dont want to really pay a shop cause they charge a lot
is there anywhere on here where i can ask if someone in my area can do it and ill pay them or something?

there aren't too many kids in my school who like cars. i only know about two people who might but probably won't/can't help me. i might end up having to do it myself and rent a spring compressor.
does anyone know how much a realignment would cost?(btw)
