My Zenn Springs review
 
I installed the ZENN springs on my 2.2. There is no soild review so i thought i would give you mine. Some people call the Zenn spring tein knockoffs. I installed the spring with the FE5 front struts. i personally have never dropped a car, i found this super easy and did it in a 2 hours. Currently at 132xx miles we will see if they sag later...

QUALITY:
I Like the springs they gave a great drop, some people would refer to them as "bumpy" i would say a lil bit bouncy but still good ride. Am very happy with the product and i do recommend it for those who never experencied other springs. I plan to ride in a cobalt with another brand to see difference for you all (if my struts blow i will post how long it was til they do)

DROP:
Rear stock height:27.5"
After Drop:25.75"

PICS





Front stock height:27.5"
After Drop:25.5"






BEFORE:




AFTER:



And tada in the end FOLLOW TORQUE SPECS!!!(i did fix this)


Some more pics:





And Thank you

shocks? no i change the struts

LS/LT=FE1
SS/Sport=FE3
SC/TC=FE5

I placed mine with the FE5 struts so they would handle the drop better then the FE1

it could wait, your shock/structs could last up to a year after you drop it but you got to drive safe.

there are plenty of people here with a drop and stock struts, like me for one, just dodge bumps and crap, but you do that anyhow.
