Help
Trying to odered some SS springs front & rear. This thread gets confussing by throwing around all the different part numbers.
Is the following statement true if I wish a set of matching SS springs for my 08 LT2 Panel ? "Front spring is 21994335 rear is 10390024"

After reading all of the replies on this thread, and only wanting to lower the rear just a little, and being cheap, I have finally ordered a set of cobolt SS springs.
I'll see what happens when I install them Wednesday................

I got a full set of cobalt ss springs used and installed only the rears. The overall stance is even. I think the rear end is probably by less 1/4 inch shorter than stock fronts. Hardly noticible and the suspension is the same as my stock lt2.

I had just the rears on for a while. It leveled the body, but I think the rear fenders are cut a little lower as the gap was smaller.
I have the fronts done now too, only lowered the front end around 1/2", but the gaps look more even now.

Alignment ?

QUESTION: An Alignment guys is actually doing this work. Will Eibach Pro Kit springs require additional alighment materials/bolts? (or is there enought factory adjustment to realign it)

Ok came home from work today and installed the Cobalt SS springs....
From start to finish 35 minutes.
Not a big change but just enough that I like the look ride and handling don't seem to be changed very much....
All in all I'm happy
