looking for some new lowering springs now
i had tenzo Rs were neat
doubt ill go with coilovers but anybody reccomend a certain set of springs

07cobaltLScoupe

if you want mild drop with a milder ride go Eibach pro kit or Pedders, if you don't care about ride and just want drop go with Eibach sportlines, H&R sport, or B&G springs.... personally i'm on Eibach pro kit, lowered me 1.5" all the way around and the handling is in my opinion better than stock

p.s. i'm also doing the rear "evo" mod as we speak so i'm just waiting for it to dry

Sportlines, bg, and h&r all have drops of 2f/2.5r right? At least on the LS models?

taerae86

idk about all the others, but thats correct for sportlines...

sergiochaotik

I'm on sportlines, and the ride is fine..obviously it's a little harsher because you're lowering your car, and that's the same for any drop...but the handling is still way better than stock; I can comfortably take off-ramps at 75-80 instead of 60 because of the lack of body sway.

Philswrath

yeah im looking at either h&rs which would be about the same drop i was at with the tenzos, or pedders just since they are the "best" rated spring
mind you ill be strapping these on with Fe5 shocks and struts so yep

Winter mode on B&G's

07cobaltLScoupe

b&g are probably the absolute lowest but i hear are bouncy, h&r tend to lower the front a little more than the rear but isn't bad. anything with the FE5 shocks/struts won't be all that terrible of a ride thou... but hows the ride on those b&g's jmesl8er?

and the final product for now, i let it dry for a while but when i unmasked it some edges didn't come out perfect. looks good for now but i may redo it come may when it's nicer out. and i talked with a buddy today and he wants me to tint my tails too so we may do that in a couple weeks, we'll see

Anybody change the color of their base model interior? Im needing to change the color of my seats as its all I have left to do. I really don't want to buy a cheap set of aftermarket seats and loose the passenger airbag sensors and stuff but I don't want drop the $750+ to reupholster them either.

Anyone use fabric "paint" on their seats? I used it on the door inserts and headliner and the headliner hasn't faded or anything. The only thing is the red on the inserts is kinda fading a bit but it hasn't come off on my clothes or anything and my leg rubs that a lot.

So should I try the seats or is there any better, cost efficient, ways of changing colors?

oh man i hate my tan interior bad! I see people fab dying the headliner, and some have resticking issues and sagging, im going to plastidip my dash trim pieces and if it looks good do it to the dashboard.

Defininetly dont have the ***** to try dying the seats, i would think when sweating in the summer it would come off.

ill trade you even up for my nightshaded and cleared stock tails.. not sure how to work that all out, but they are in great shape..

Well I haven't had any issues with the headliner sagging. It's actually holding up really nice.

As for the seats, I'm a little worried about having a black ass as well but then again I don't know. I mean the red has never come off on my clothes and I've had them done for about a year now and last year was hot down here. I'm just tired of the black and red interior with grey seats. Lmao

07cobaltLScoupe

ah damn, if we were closer i'd take that deal but yea idk how we'd be able to work that out shipping wise. it shouldn't be too much but i could probably do my own for the same cost. i'd maybe be interested in your retros thou if the right price but like i said earlier i don't want to call any "dibs" before you even have a FS thread, especially if your price is gonna be more than what i can work with right now

hey 1Low how is it seeing at night with your back up lights tinted? it's bad enough for me now with my windows tinted at 20% haha

Man that picture would be perfect if the shadow was on the other side.Looks good though!!! def should take another one at the same spot when the sun is on the other side of your car

Fitz88

ill go back when my cars not in winter mode lol...and i gotta figure out what time of day that would be

sergiochaotik

fe5 isn't much of an upgrade imho. I switched to kyb after a summer of riding the stock ones. The ride is better, but not that noticeable..the only real reason I switched was to salvage my car before the stock ones break (we have horrible streets here, it's not even a necessary upgrade, really)

Jookycola

I have Stance coilovers and I plan to have them on as soon as snow stops being a dominant part of the weather. But I got to thinking...as long as I'm down there replacing everything else....and I have time to wait. What kind of sway bars should i upgrade to? What's the best BOLT ON sway bar options for my 4 lug LS. Or are the stock LS sways good enough, I just don't want to cheap out as long as i've already spent a small fortune on the coil overs.

Philswrath

might as well upgrade sways

1LowLS

I see in reverse just fine.The K2 LED lights have a larger reverse housing so they reflect more light.

does any1 sell polished valve covers?

Jookycola

Ok? but I'm asking with what?

What would be the best direct bolt in sway upgrade for my LS?

07cobaltLScoupe

ok, we'll see if i do mine or not. idk if i really want to

idk, eibach would probably be the cheapest. my buddy has them front and rear with ksport coils
