just wondering if lowering springs from the G6 will work on the 2004-2007 Malibu since they both appear to be on the "Epsilon I" platform

I have found 1 post on a another forum stating this, but have yet to find any results...

need wheel gap gone, and don't want to cut or clamp springs

couple of malibu owners over at g6performance.com have done it, using eibach springs for the g6... and one used factory cobalt springs

I ordered springtech springs (same as canuck, chassis tech, etc) 1.75" drop... should be fine in front... rear has me a little worried gonna be real close from my measurements

hope to have them delivered by the weekend and maybe installed

eibach springs look like they got a long wait

Its done, sitting on 20" Verde Sinister (#49) wheels (20x8.5 with 38mm offset) and 225/35/r20 tires almost 1:1 ratio of original tires





pictures of full smd led conversion up soon in another post
Glad it all worked out for ya, sometimes it sucks having to be the guinea-pig but if the end result works out it is well worth it. Do keep us posted, good info for those owners of the previous generation Bu.

Just wanted to say I drove the car with a total of 4 full size passengers and had no issues...

on a bad note "F" suspension max... rushed me to do there dirty work and promised reward... only to be cast aside... spit on them... (its not a priority and has to be discussed with out R&D dept. - funny, that never got mentioned at first)

NOPI had 1.5" lowering springs for a G6 for like 60.00 I have done business with them before, no issues

isnt this some crap... after months of dealing with suspensionmax I get told they will do nothing for me for testing and running there SpringTech spings on my car, that the public can not R&D stuff (after I was told by 2 reps that said they would discount or hook me up) now I was looking on ebay keeping tabs and found out there sister company canuckmotorsports.com is selling spring for the 04-07 application...

I sent these tards pictures and all sorts of info... horrible liers...

sorry had to rant, just get some nopi springs for a G6 they are like 100.00 cheaper

I don't think I would ever put $69 springs on my car. I have never seen a good set of springs for less then $200. All the ones I have used (Eibachs) were that price. Buyer beware.
