Isnt there an official thread for this?

Go to google

Type this exactly

"Site:cobaltss.net"

Then a space and whatever you want to search and it will only search this site.
Good luck

So you're looking for just drop? Or some ride quality too? What about handling?

If you want a good ride get Powell's springs. If you want the best drop go with H&R.

Powell's springs. If you want a little lower then you should look at SSC springs but you're loosing some handling and ride quality with those.

You lose handling and ride quality with all lowering springs. It's a given. Lol

Not really on the Powell springs, maybe a little ride quality but better handling.
Powell YYZ V5 Spring Pkg YYZ V.5

You pay extra for quality and they are warrantied for life.

Yyz springs are performance springs, not lowering springs. That's why I said that.

Ssc or CM. Best bang for your buck when it comes to both.

Thank you for the help! Much appreciated! I'm more concerned about not seeing wheelwells anymore, but I don't want it to mess my ride or performance up, I guess I'm looking for lowest you can go bit still maintain ride and performance !

Then that's YYZ that's the lowest you can go without any loss in those aspects and even a gain in handling. I'd recommend SSC though if you're willing to give up some of each.
