I'm ordering my set today, i'll be sure to get some before and after pictures posted as soon as i'm finished.

how far out do they throw the front suspension? I'd really rather not have my wheels realigned just because i've never had a car come back from an alignment shop the same it went in, they have a way of always making things worse; at least as far as driving straight goes.

does anyone have any install tips?

 

If an alignment shop makes it worse, then the issue is the shop workers. I've known and been to reputable alignment shops and those are the ones that know what they are doing.

 

Did you guys have to use a camber kit with these springs ?

 

I have had the SSC springs on my car for a year now with no allignment issues. The day after I installed the springs I had an allignment done and everything was still in spec.

 

Go to a different alignment shop cause the toe is going to be out to lunch.my camber was out a bit also I told them to put it ah the most negitive of the spec for better performance driving.

 

i have a cobalt LT sedan and how much would the drop be

 

These have been put on my future mods list. I may scrape getting into my driveway, but my lip is already scratched to all hell from trying to master the entry into my driveway. Have one of the few driveways on base that doesn't have a smooth transiton from pavement to concrete.

 

guys do you have to mess with the bump stops for these springs?

 

Not one bit. They work perfectly.

 

hey you guys with lowering springs, do you bottom out at all? is it hard to get in and out of parking lots and stuff? I've had a car w/ a body kit that was lowered, and i will never do it again. My worry is that I want to be able to not bottom out on speed bumps and so on...

I hear ya!

 

I dont bottom out one bit anywhere and im lowered on SSC springs.

 

I've only sort of bottomed out once, its because i live down the street from a school and one of the little bastard kids took some rocks from my front yard (Big river rocks) and threw them in the driveway. I was backing out and didn't see it, i felt it though. thats the only problem i've had, and my school has some massive speed bumps, no problems there


As a cross reference here is a thread it a bunch of pictures with a tape measure that shows how high my car sits above the ground.

no problems at all with these springs didn't touch the bump stops and only scraped the exhuat once on a stupid parking lot drive way that went way up and then down on the other side.

 

you do know your car is the one they show when you buy the zzp springs right ??

 

for the difference in ride height u guys get you arent gonna be blowin any struts any time soon

 

WOW they jumped the price by 70$ damn i got them for 129.99 over a year ago.

 

are you a 2.2? What size rims? What did you do for install?

 

yeah i would have bought these for 129 but now i'll hold off for B+G and see what their drop looks like before i make my decision.

 

I PAID for my set back on Feb. 25th. Have emailed and called Cobalt-Addiciton and all they tell me is that they are communicating with the manuafactor to make sure pricing is right...

 

how low is it in the front ??

 

It's about 3 and a half years lower.
