I've aimed the headlights when I installed the Depo's. Easy. But how do I lower it, when I have no jack and no garage? Lol

 

You can rent a jack and some stands........ I did my springs in my gravel driveway. If I can do it, should be easy for you.

 

Kevin: I did the cobalt ss/sc front and rear springs shocks and struts and notice just a hair difference compared to only having the rear done id say do the rear and ud be set literally takes about a half hour like sleeper stated these cars look goofy if you go to low you need to move your ass to indy I got full access to a shop

 

Not goofy..he said undrivable...the springs offered for the front ( mainstream) do not lower to the point of having to be conscious of your driving habits..unless you like to slam speed bumps, and they make a noticable improvement in handling...the only ones really complaining are those with steep not so well designed driveways..and those with hitches with bad driveways...my ls is setting on GLs and have yet to run into any problems...and it looooooks gooood!

 

Woody- This is what I said:

 

You should invest in a floorjack & at least 1 pair of 3 ton jack stands..

Doesn't cost much, & maintained tools are always good long term investments.

You don't need a garage, just the will to learn some things, that can save you money. Like oil changes etc, etc..

Mods are cool, But Tools Rule !!!

 

Would you guys suggest the Pedders coilovers or an air-strut system?

 

Depends on what youre after. If you have lots of money and want a show car, then do air ride. If you want really low but still a driver get coilovers.
However if you want a good performance suspension, you dont want it slammed and bouncing off every twig on the road, stick with pedders lowering springs and a rear swaybar.

 

It's almost just as pricey. I would like to go more performance based though.

 

Is the Pedder setup direct bolt-on?
