We should get together and compare notes! I'm in Dallas so not far from you at all.

You planning to do it yourself? If it goes smooth, maybe I'll get you to help me with mine! I've got access to tools at my folks house, but I don't really have much to work with, plus I'm pretty car-stupid.

Need some help deciding which rear cobalt springs to go with. From what I've been reading the older cobalt ss rears drop the rear like 1.5" and the newer ones drop it 1 1/8". Which ones drop it to match the front better?

Measure each fender to the ground and see how big the difference between front and rear. Mines difference was like 1" and 5/8 so i got the 1.5 springs.

Where I measure from is top of the rim lip, up to fender edge..

Measuring to the ground can vary by tire pressures (hot / cold, etc), & motor/trans weight, or even cargo....

My wheel gaps are even front & back.. Springs I have in are the newer SS/TC ones, & I haul stuff. These have a good feel running thru twisties & everywhere else.

The older SS/SC ones are very soft riding...

Hey, but do your homework & get what fits your needs..

edit: To help in your decision, have someone sit on the tail end, Or add some weight till you get the measurement, & see if that "look" works for ya..
