Looks nice. I've been planning to do this for a while, along with like 20 other things lol I'd use engine paint for the drums, but thats because i'd want it to be flat not gloss. Then caliper paint for the calipers(duh)

You need to get your rotors turned bud. As far as the drop goes, I love look of Eibach sportlines, they're one of the best in that field. But the SSC springs are good too.

I bought the G2 caliper paint but haven't done it yet. Gotta get on that before it gets too hot out.

My opinion for the purpose of dropping a car varies. It all depends on how far you wanna go with the suspension of your ride. Are you looking to just do a simple drop, or an all out upgrade? I did the all out upgrade and it ran me about 1800 dollars. I agree with the look of sportlines though. Very clean look to the lines of the car when done.

It really wouldnt be worth the all out upgrade due to fact in which the cobalt has a solid rear avle for a suspension in which makes the car very stiff

This is going to be done to my car, next summer, when i get the new rims. Gonna be black on black painted calipers and drums with black rims, my car is silver. Going for the black and silver theme.

The drop I would go with ssc springs I heard that they are a pretty decent looking drop and handle pretty well.

can you put up some pics of the white painted drums/calipers, just so I have an idea. I dont have a white balt, but I'd like to see how it turned out.
