Soon to be dropped!!! question for members with experience lowering via cobalt ss spr
Hello all. I'm awaiting the arrival of a set if stock ss/SC springs and had a couple of questions. Will I need to modify anything if I lower the front, or will rubbing not be an issue? I can do the install myself just wanted the opinion of some who have done this drop. Any issues I need to watch for and how will these affect my ride?

I have only lowered the rear but there should be no issues with rubbing. As far as ride its going to be a little stiffer but not unbearable. Will handle loads better. Good luck with the install. Take pics and ask questions if you get stuck on anything.

Thanks. That's what I was wanting to hear. Yeah I'll probably get it aligned, I need to do the brakes on the front while I have it apart. I'll take before and after pics, and some of the install. sway bars and wheels are next :-)

Don't expect a major change, especially if you are keeping your stock strut setup. Rear will drop about an inch...I think read somewhere that the front maybe a half inch. I know people have changed out the entire strut/spring with more drop. Someone else that's done the front can chime in.

I've read the SC springs drop more than the later TC models do. Drop of about an inch or 1 1/4 for TC and about 1 1/2 for SC. I'm not looking for a huge drop more wanting to improve turn in response and reduce body roll. This thing understeers horribly in factory form. Rides better than my vibe I had before but no where near as tossable.
