Lazerface 24 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Anyone have lowering springs or coilovers? Recommendations? Link to post Share on other sites
TheMission 8 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I've researched them pretty extensively and am not purchasing anything till I see them on more cars as there is so little out there. I have not found any installs or good data on reasonable coilovers for the Spark, but found at least a couple Spring Companies that say they support the Spark with small drops... The KSpeed Storm springs for around 340 dollars 30 mm or 40 mm configurations The B&G Springs around 210 dollars ~1.4 front 1 Rear TORNADO Springs for 369 Dollars Unknown Drop I'm not dropping any money until I see more pics of them and reviews of them... and I want to know how far you can actually drop the car as well... 1 inch seems to be too little for the compromised ride and cost.

bluer101 241 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I thought about the B&G springs. With my 17 inch wheels it should be good. 1 inch in the back would be ok and hope 1.4 in the front won't cause problems. I know right now when my son and wife ride its about 1 inch gap in the back. So I don't know it it would be ok all the way around with the 17's. Link to post Share on other sites

TheMission 8 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I can't find them in the USA... You can order them from Europe though, but shipping will be a monster. 1.4 inches... seems to be about what all the others are running. Link to post Share on other sites

Lazerface 24 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) that looks just about perfect, as far as cosmetics. what shock/strut did you pair them with? how is the ride compared to stock? Edited April 18, 2013 by Lazerface Link to post Share on other sites

70-yenko-nova 12 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Imma revive this. Still wondering if anyone found any more coil overs or anything ? Also bodykits give appearance that a car is lowered more then it is... Id like to see them coilovers on stock vehicle Jopar_X 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lovgun7 75 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 id like to lower mind like that baby blue car too... probably save up for a few years before that ... cant blow 900 on that at once lol Jopar_X 1 Link to post Share on other sites
tommyspark 24 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I don't think they make them for the Spark, but I'm an Eibach fan. I've lowered 4 cars on Eibachs and have never had an issue, and they have always improved handling quite a bit. Does anyone make a STB (strut tower bar) for the spark?

Greg_E 211 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 A top of tower brace is going to be difficult because there isn't much room to run it. Link to post Share on other sites
psquare75 35 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Anyone pulled the trigger on B&G yet? Also the B&G Spark spring set is advertised as fitting the Cruze.. Eibach has Cruze springs. Ergo... Lastly, anyone have torque settings for the strut cap - mount to body - strut to spindle, etc? Blake Thomas 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bensemailis 10 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I want a coilover, but not for lowering. If anything I would like it up about 0.5" or 1". I want it for the ride it gives, the stock suspension just sucks on long trips. and dirt roads where I live. Link to post Share on other sites
Blake Thomas 0 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I installed the b&g springs, the front looks great nice and flush 1.4 drop but I did use factory tires on new 15" wheels. The rear was only a 1" drop wish it was 2" to give it a more level drop but it still looks clean. Now for the ride and handling, it's definitely stiff eliminated a huge amount of body roll great but down side is you can feel all imperfections on the roads Link to post Share on other sites
