Ok, i was figuring the ride would get a little less harsh if i flipped them over. But it's not worth tearing everything apart for that, i can live with it haha

Yeah you definitely don't have to. The rear springs really only take 10 minutes to change though.

I beg to differ lol
I had to stand on some metal thing to make the strut come out. And plus the power tools wouldn't work and we had to use a jack. Probably took me and my cousin a little over an hour

Hello guys I have an 09 Cobalt ss with eibach sportline springs..the rear is about 3 fingers gap between the fender and the tire. It's been more than a month now since I've installed it. What could have I done wrong?

chevygirl2006

That's just how the springs are.

Rondyppl

But other people have 2 finger gap with the sportlines :/

chevygirl2006

Well idk. For some reason they can lower cars differently. A guy that has the same springs as me, his car is quite a bit lower than mine.

Yeah it's just the way it is, like my springs have about one and half finger gap on the driver side but the passenger side is a little over two finger gap.. damn ksports

chevygirl2006

thats how mine are. the rears arent even. right side is higher. its because theres more weight on the drivers side because you are always on that side and thats how they settled.

What does it look like installed? I want a nice drop, doesnt rub (NJ roads can get rough) and doesnt pogo.

chevygirl2006

Peddars and yyz don't lower much at all because they are a performance springs and not a lowering spring.

This looks like it dropped

chevygirl2006

Not much. Still alot of gap left.

chevygirl2006

The lower you go the more ride quality you are giving up. There's not a spring that has a huge drop that has really good ride quality.

I was originally looking to buy the Eibach Pro Kit...if that gives you a drop/handling reference for me lol

chevygirl2006

The best drop/ride quality will be ssc/cm springs. Good drop and good ride and is a good price.

Wrong! When it comes to springs, "ride quality" comes down to personal preference. One person may claim "x" spring is better then "y" spring for ride quality ut that's their opinion. That doesn't necessarily mean everyone else feels the same way about that specific spring. Bottom line, when it comes to springs you can either have one or the other. You either get a low drop with somewhat good ride quality to really bad quality or you get almost no drop ut you get great ride quality. You can't have both with just a spring.
