Review of springs from nopionline.com

ok guys/gals if u dont already know i ordered some springs from nopionline.com they are called number 1 springs....on the website they are listed only on the 05's but its the same...the box said 05 cobalt including 05-06 ss....so they will work on 05-06's....ok the springs were 141.00 shipped to the drop with a 1.6 drop in the front and 1.8 in the back or was suppose to drop it this low...buuutt.....i think it dropped the car 2 inches front and back....the car sits low ::ill post a couple pics tomorrow after i wash it:: well the ride quality is still great ::my g/f said she likes it b/c she can still sleep in the car lmao:: yea it bounces a little but it takes a good size bump to actually notice it....i also didnt have to cut the bumpstop for these either...so far no bottoming out....i think this would be a great part for any cobalt that is looking to lower their car.....

you guys need to let me know if there is anything else that you would like that nopi has because i have a whole sale account through them, i live about 30mins from there main store. if i can get a group order then i might be able to get a better deal. just pm me and ill see what i can do.
