Talking Cobalt ss/sc springs installed before/after pics. enjoy ;-)

Hello all. Here are some before and after shots of my springs. I also removed my stock wheel covers and sanded and painted the hubs on my 5spoke steelies. Enjoy

After



Here she is in all her current glory.

I've got pics of the actual wheel well gaps before and after but my phone doesn't play nice with editing and cropping sizes. I'll post them when I get on my laptop. Thanks :-). I've only had her a few months so my mods are still light, but many more to come. I'm surprised by how much front drop I got with the SC springs.everyone talked like it didn't lower it much at all and I got at least an inch front and 1.5 or 1.75 rear. Improved my handling greatly, much less dive and squat, and feels more balanced front to rear. Before it seemed the rear rolled first which upset the chassis which then reverts to understeer. I am saving for a ttr rear sway bar and some stouter rotors and pads next.

Nice....looks good. I really wanna go that low but I actually need ground clearance for certain areas I frequent. Alas.....I can only "level" out....

I used stock cobalt ss/SC springs off of an 07" I believe. I got them from a guy on cobaltss.net. I love it rear install I done myself took all of 20 minutes using a guide I found here. The fronts I had to take to a shop because I did have a spring compressor but it's Been a few yrs and I couldn't find it. No noises, drives so much better, much less body movement, and looks great. I have took it thru several parking lots with large bumps and I have a steep driveway no clearance issues at all.
