Be cool if you could find some used though.
Or they could come in 1 week as mine did, which were also on National Back order.. Sometimes a little patience is needed to aquire the exact things one wants.

So true..... The backorder made me realize that the "exact" springs I want are not the Cobalt ss/tc...... nothing wrong with them but it was a compromise for me.

I think I'm going to start a wanted in the classifieds

Cool, You do know the SS rear springs will only lower yours 3/4" & be a rougher ride.
They are FE5 which is stiffer springs, struts & shocks.

There have been some sold here..But I have only seen all 4 sold together.. Good Luck !!

Yeah.... realize all that. I know they seem to be on the rare side too but I'll see how it goes.

lowered and 20 inch rims

When I lowered mine I went with Eibach sportline and I bought them from ebay (200.00) hard to find under HHr but I knew the Cobolt used the same springs and that is where I found them I bought lowering spring for a Cobolt ( same part #s ) then I went with KYB shocks (175.00) also bought the camber adjustment blocks (25.00) plus 300.00 to put all the parts on so total was like 800.00 and bought 20 inch rims for 600 tires ( used ) and all the only thing I would change is the tires I like 20 but 18 probably a better all round choice . Good Luck and You will love it when you are done !
