question on the leveling springs.........

Do the headlights need to be re-aimed since you're changing the stock height?
Plus, what's the best, least expensive springs to get in order to level the rear end down?

It's only 10-15 minutes to check & correct headlight aim anyhow.

But if you are lowering the rear, the lights will naturally be pointed up a bit more.

Mine were not perfectly adjusted before I leveled/lowered it anyhow..

I think the least expensive would be Cobalt SS/SC, here in the classifieds,
think someone has some listed now.

I only paid $38 a piece to my door from GM Parts Direct. Mine are 'balt SS/TC

The SS/SC will lower a bit more in the rear..

I just posted my Cobalt SS/SC springs for sale in the classifieds. These springs are a popular way to 'Level' the rear end.

Sleeper;
I been waiting about six weeks, I keep checking and they say they don't know when GM is going to release some more. I am patiently waiting. By the time they come in my warranty will be up and it won't matter if I use GM parts or not.

I guess the mail is "faster" than the computer. I was playing my computer game this morning, the door bell rings. It was FEDEX with my new SC/TC springs. I can't wait to get them installed but today I am taking the Grandson to the "MONSTER JAM".
