where the hell are our springs?!

[dL_RL]

Eibach just released the sportlines for the Cobalt/Cobalt SS. Where the hell are our springs? I know some of you are going to say there are 5 springs that work for our cars. But i'm talking about where the hell are our springs for our car that is DESIGNED FOR OUR CAR.

eihbach has oficially stated in a vendor update they will not be releasing specific springs for the redline. even if they say they are this was put out by the vp in charge of sale across the nation. the colbalt gets a set and we do not. they were planned for release and they said they dropped the idea due to low sales of the ion redline's...... sorry.

eibach told me there was no plan for the ION RL, but H&R told me they were track tested (2 week ago)

this is complete bullshit. luts get a patition (what ever the hell it is or spelled) and get a set............ *picks up a peice of paper and pen* ...............

the cobalt is way outselling the redline like for every 1 redline they sell gm is selling 4 or 5 cobalts, so the product support of almost all the vendors will now shift to the cobalt and away from the redline soon...... i mean be realastic guys no redline sales no products. companies are in business to make money not to loose it. they will not put the time and $$$ into a product for a car with really bad sales

and nka the h&r ones will be the same as everyone else they are not doing redline specific springs they will be ion/redline springs i know many people at h&r and have dealt with them for years. they said its not $$$ wise to do separate springs

1 for every 4 or 5??? Are you serious? You're gonna have to show me the sales numbers on that. I've seen my first SS yesterday on the road. Maybe regular Cobalts... Hell, the 3 dealers by my house have only sold 15 Coblat SS since they came out. Out of those 15, 10 haven't even been delivered yet. The guys I talked to at the races thought it might have gotten canceled.

The Eibach springs for the CobaltSS have a drop of 0" front, .5" back for one set, and 1" on the other set! Who the hell would buy those here? I'd be pissed if my new 'sport springs' offered a MAX 1" drop. I asked the parts guy, from the Chevy dealer to look up the Cobalt and Ion springs, and shocks. I'm supposed to call him today and see what he found. As far as he knew, they were the same, since they had to ship front struts and springs to the the Saturn dealer where I bought my car, for a Redline...

why the hell would you make a lowering kit that would only lower a max of 1" what the hell was going thru their minds. damn. im just gonna go with B&G then. stupid people.
