Thanks...............navymitch12 said:you are not gonna be able to lower it 2 inches but close, man a search can go a long way, try searching for lowering, sprint springs, anything like that and u will find what u are looking for
I had a feeling it wasn't as easy as measuring. The guy I talked to at Gravana Tuning said he's been trying to get the spring rates for the Cobalt/Ion without much success. He said that it's VERY hard to get spring rates out of the manufacturer, particuarly on progressive rate springs. I'm not sure why it would be that hard, but he seems to know what he's talking about.rip_vw32 said:Spooner, the size of the coils and the number of turns isn't always a good way. We really need the manufacturers specs. The reason behind this is how hot the metal was when they were made (The rods they were made from were poured in a mold vs cut from a block) and what kind of metal they were made from. These are the 2 biggest factors that would determine the spring rates.
Thanks........I located a few threads. Has anyone used the springs that Saturn offer? My dealer told me they could put some springs on but I have not talked to him in about a week.goofyguy said:http://www.redlineforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=841
I have a ton of pics around. Look up sprint threads and you will see more.
Hell yeah..that red is the isht. I didnt like the red RL I saw at the dealership, but your's is tight. I guess the guy that owned the Red RL at the dealer should clean his. I think he was the service manager and his RL was dirty as hell.Tek said:2" Sprint Springs, which are actually about a 1.8" drop.

or just look down at my sig...
Saturn offers springs for it now? I had found some SCCA classification numbers that included a new set of springs. Did he tell you of any other parts? Like an intercooler or anything? I've heard of nothing from Saturn in the way of upgrades yet. I would hope they offer something...wut said:Thanks........I located a few threads. Has anyone used the springs that Saturn offer?

He didnt say anything about any upgrades. The conversation went like this:Sp00ner said:Saturn offers springs for it now?
