#Cobalt springs install#
Q: How do you install lowering springs? A: The factory spring and strut housing need to be removed. If you want an adjustable lowering system, then you should look at coilovers, which are essentially adjustable lowering springs. See our product descriptions to find out the exact drop the springs offer for each listing. Q: Are lowering springs adjustable? A: Lowering springs are not adjustable you cannot change the ride height on them. Anybody who wants to lower his or her car has to replace the factory springs with either lowering springs or coilovers (coilovers are the same as lowering springs, except adjustable). When you want to lower your car, you buy new lowering springs that are made to set your car closer to the ground. Coupled with a shock absorber they make up the main element of your vehicle's suspension. Q: What are lowering springs? Why buy lowering springs? A: Springs' basic function is to cushion and absorb the shocks and bumps that are encountered as the vehicle is driven. Changing out your Chevrolet Cobalt springs will usually necessitate a new set of shocks that are matched to your intended use, so be sure to check out the performance shocks that we offer to complement your new springs. Certain springs are made strictly for a lower or higher profile, while others are made to enhance your vehicle's performance for street or track use. Going too low with your Chevrolet Cobalt suspension probably won't yield the best performance results, so unless it's a show vehicle or a cruiser, you might want to stick with a milder drop.Īftermarket Chevrolet Cobalt springs not only change the ride height of your vehicle, but can affect its handling characteristics as well.
Some manufacturers offer more than one model of Chevrolet Cobalt lowering springs depending on how low you want to go or how aggressive you want the spring rate to be, so be sure to order accordingly.
#Cobalt springs upgrade#
Lowering springs are best matched with a set of Chevrolet Cobalt performance shocks/struts that will accommodate your new lower ride height, but if you're on a tight budget your stock Chevrolet Cobalt shocks will work temporarily until you can upgrade that is, if you don't mind a slightly bumpier ride in the meantime.
