I got my whole suspension off a wrecked Cobalt SS. Dropped me about 1.5" all around. Best part, they where straight bolt in struts. The back did settle a bit lower than in the pictures.

I thought you had asked about springs before. Still running my canucks and love them.

I bought a nice used set of Gold-Line Coil Springs.

It took a little getting used to driving after I lowered but you get used to it quickly.

You go a little slower over speed bumps and Watch for upcoming potholes and Avoid them. :lol:

mine has been lowered for a long time but the springs i have in it arent worth a sh#t so im looking for the best springs and trying to keep the same ride height:twothumbs:

I have the Eibach Pro kit on mine with new struts. Rides great....especially compared to all the other lowered vehicles I have owned over the years. I only really notice limitations when I fly over a good dip in the road and it may sit down on the front bump-stops, but that is pretty rare. (and yes, the front bump-stops are trimmed down).

What springs do you have now?

Lowering with just springs is gonna make the ride not nearly as smooth as Stock, you loose alot of the travel, springs are compressed to lower the car.

Want adjustability and a better ride I would think full on coil overs are the next option to look into.
