I have H&R 1.5 lowering springs on it my 07 Lt now. I would like to reduce the wheel gap space im looking at some 17 inch rims but im wondering if that will really fill that back up. I don't know if cutting a couple coils is the best option or something else.

 

coilovers and 18s

 

Coils are a lot of money though im looking for something cheap. I don't want to spend a grand on coils although if i could i would.

 

If you can't afford to do it right, then do not do it at all.

17's aren't going to close the gap because your circumference should still be the same as stock.

 

This. And cutting coils is always a bad idea not to mention extremely unsafe. You say you want to reduce your wheel gap and that you can afford to spend money on it. Then why don't you
Also realize that low automatically means uncomfortable. You can't have both, especially not in a Cobalt ;-)

 

BC coils beg to differ.
They ride pretty damn nice for their price point and the lows you can get.

 

well is there any cheaper coilovers that any of you would reccomend or is there another car that has same spring rate that i could get cheaper?

 

I'd love to stance my LSJ, but having to drive this thing in the winter makes it a no go...

After it's paid off (11 more months wooooot!!) and i get my second car, thats when mods like this are coming.

And OP..... DON'T CUT YOUR SPRINGS!! Unless you want a reason to wreck... THEN CUT EM UP! lol

 

you realize coilovers can go up to right? lol

 

Coilovers ya! But not just springs. I debated on just doing the springs, but after driving through a winter like last year, screw that! If I do change the suspension out, it will be for some coilovers.
