Meant to do this awhile back...anyway for those who want to see what how effective the CABs are:

Funny, Dan said they didn't **** for his RedLine, guess the Cobalts are that different.

 

it looks like u had alot of wheel hop. but thats what i saw

 

I only got it bad (and by bad I mean 10x better than what it used to be) on one road, in the 3rd clip. All the others either had no wheel hop or hardly any. Also, one thing I noticed is I get wheel hop badly on concrete vs. asphalt (which is what the road in the 3rd clip was).


Edit: I used to get wheel hop so bad all the time that my radar detector would fall off.

 

Great video

 

The 2.4 and 2.2 Cobalts and all the Redlines have COMPLETELY different control arms, hence why Dan had problems.

 

i see you also have the ZZP engine mount... which one? old design or new billet peice?
how much did the engine mount help before your CABS? i want to find a solution to the awful wheel hop and i see you are a step ahead of me. so help a cobalt brotha out!

 

cool video!

 

Old design ZZP mount, and it helped *a little* with wheel hop (hardly) but it did firm the shifting up some.

 

Holy Crap, you have like no first Gear, lol, the ecotec loves the S/C in first I see.... nice vid.

 

At the track on my first run (at IDD7) I thought i snapped an axle from the way the wheel hopped and made a noise on the vht sprayed track...they have done nothing for for me...jbp offered me a full rebate but my stockers are fubared and the new ones as welded in so I cant get them out.

Also jbp said they tested them on ss/sc, redlines, and all trim levels with great success...idk

the trio -> motor mount, tranny mount, CAB's. You will get absolutely nothing but wheel spin or go. The car does not hop at all, first time i did a hard launch the car felt like i was driving down the road as normal until the tire squeel, I felt nothing in the cabin.

 

honestly i dont wanna knock on u ss man, but it looked pretty slow with all the wheel hoppin n ****

 

Yes...I am one of the slowest SS/SC you will find.

 

Dan, sorry I forgot to mention on my first post.. I didn't want this to seem like I was bashing the RL at all. I know the RL has different control arms per you and some others. The video is for all those who had PMed me about the CABs wanting to know "how well they worked".

Just thought I would dispell that.

 

Nice video Tofu. I wish I could shift that fast.

Yeah, first is virtually non existant in the SS S/C.

 

Mine r being put in now with some other stuff. I also have a weapon r Torque dampener and it works pretty damn good after i modified it so it wouldnt rub my motor mount

 

No offense taken. Its all good. WOP sent me some pics from the phase 5 drag cars and they use the rl ca's with reinforcing braces welded onto them..I may try that and see how it helps.

Dan

 

yeah, the cabs on my car got rid of at least 95% of the wheel hop... bonus: no in car vibes.

 

I'm totally lost.... what is a CAB?
