Rear springs

I bought some Cobalt SS springs from DVLRT... I think about a year ago....
Anyway I looked at the part number on them and they say 22705486. I looked in the GM parts catalog and did not find any such part number. Can someone please help me with these springs? They make my car sit about 1/2 inch lower than the front.

Why don't you make some 1/2" spacers to put above the springs & be good.

That's what I found on the web. Perhaps it is useful.

Looks like they are older SS/SC springs. May replace them with the SS/TC springs to get the right rake.

Thanks for the info geg! Russia? nice AK

to be honest - I'm no expert
I can only send to other people's experience.
It might be useful.

I just got my SS/TC springs and shocks installed tonight and after a short drive it sits only a 1/4" higher in the back now. Hopefully they will settle in a bit as people have said. Looks great and feels amazing compared to the squishy FE1 hardware.

Part numbers:

Shocks 25793745
Springs 25821162

hhrfreek-

Imo the SS/TC springs take longer to settle in. But that's much better than later being too low & soft..

Put them on the bottom of the springs They fit down in the cup alot easier Jegs makes a U coilspring spacer that works great . )
