I did not trim either, & have never bottomed out..

 

**buyer beware** gm parts direct.com

 

Did you ever get a "this part is on national backorder" email....... I did and cancelled it myself, was never charged. I think these things are completely out of stock and there may not be any replacements being made....... I went with something else.

 

I have never had a problem with them...So I can't complain..

 

I had no problem getting my 07 srings. Installed them with the Progress rear bar and I believe it's a good combination. Dropped the rear 1 1/2" and the ride height is about level. Took a ride in the hills of PA. and I liked the way it handled (feels alot more neutral). Put some weight in the back and it was still O.K. I can take measurments if anybody wants them.

 

And I just installed the FE5 shocks from a cobalt SS/SC and they improved the handling even more than just the springs. Very well planted now, less bounce over bumps.

 

Anyone have a picture of the Cobalt springs? Are they: The same wound spring with coils spaced evenly apart like our stockers, only physically shorter in length? This is what Im after.

 

No pic, but yes they look just like the stockers, just shorter in length...

 

There's a set of 2008 Cobalt SS rear springs on eBay right now $45 ....... 25K miles. Somebody should grab them.

 

I went with the "stiffer" TC springs P/N: 25821162
