Chevrolet Cobalt & Pontiac G5 enthusiasts constantly tell us that they currently suffer the pain of not being able to find a true engineered adjustable suspension solution at a reasonable price for a car that begs to be driven hard. From the first day we received our pr-production Cobalt from GM in 2004, we knew that this was a unique suspension system upgrade opportunity. After two years of testing various suspension products, Gravana is announcing the release of the new B+G Coil-Overs for the Cobalt & G5. This is the ultimate coil-over system for the Cobalt, Cobalt SS and Pontiac G5. Hands-Down! Designed for street and track use, B+G Coil-Overs offer the best of both worlds in terms of ride quality and performance. Designed in the USA and manufactured in Europe by B+G exclusively for Gravana, this system is superior to anything else on the market!

Finally, a complete engineered coil-over suspension solution that offers performance AND value is available from Gravana! Introducing, the B+G Coilover System!

Most coil-overs force you to lower the spring perch to adjust height, which reduces the shock travel and performance. The B+G Coil-Overs allow you to lower the car without reducing the shock performance. How? Each shock body is fully-threaded for precise ride height and weight transfer, and inserts into threaded steel lower brackets. Thus, the stroke of the shock rod does not change. Additionally, the B+G coil-over has billet adjustable spring perches which can be lowered, giving these Coil-Overs Double Ride Height Adjustability. This separate height adjustability via spring perches allows you to fine-tune your stance and ride or even slam the car for shows. For those who have been torn trying to figure out which suspension is best, Gravana has the Answer! The shock bodies, perches and brackets are all anodized steel for maximum strength and corrosion resistance. Component pieces are made from 6061 T6 aluminum alloy for a combination of strength and light weight.

Each shock body houses a Monotube Gas Charged damper for quick response and steering control without loss of performance during high stress use. Unlike twin-tube dampers that experience oil-foaming, the monotube design provides a reliable and consistent level of damping force. Each shock incorporates 32 levels of bump & rebound damping adjustment (16 clicks adjusting both compression & rebound simultaneously on each click), allowing you to dial in the best combination of rebound and compression for any driving environment. In our testing, click settings 1-5 are excellent for most street environments. 6-9 are for the more aggressive drivers, looking for the competitive edge yet still street friendly. 10-12 is for the driver who wants track-level performance for that smooth mountain road or even Autocross. Levels 13-16 are for those of us who like to wake up on a Saturday morning, bypass breakfast and coffee, and load our helmets in the car for a day at the track. Most people will end up in the 4-12 range to achieve the ultimate combination of comfort and performance for daily driving!

The coil springs included in the kit are specifically designed to work with the Gravana/B+G Coil-Overs to provide the best combination of performance and ride quality in an effort to provide you with a finely-tuned coil-over suspension system. Similar to GTO and BMW applications, the rear set-up includes an adjustable shock, with a separate height-adjustable spring and perch kit. As a policy set forth by B+G, we do not publish spring rates until the product is released for obvious reasons. Higher and lower rate springs will be available for those who want to fine-tune your race set-up. Once you have tested the system, email us your rate requests and we will gladly accomodate. For the serious competitor, the shock bodies can be custom valved to your specifications. There is no additional charge if the shocks are valved at the factory via special order. We can also re-valve your existing shock bodies, which is what most people want. Run them as-is for a few sessions and then have us make adjustments from there. The cost varies depending on the changes required. As with all special orders, custom-valved orders must be pre-paid. As with most racing products, custom valved bodies are not returnable except under warranty. Ride height will range from 0" - 3.0" and can vary slightly from car to car.


Pillow Ball Camber Plate Top Mounts (Shown here) will be available separately subsequent to the release of the coil-overs! The B+G Coil-Over System is a direct bolt-in for all Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models.

forgive me for noob questions....but I live in ALberta canada and i want to be able to lower my car in summer, but wintertime it cant be low....so i have 3 options....

changing springs every season, which sounds like a nightmare, but springs are cheap

Coilovers

or airbags....which is expensive...and from what i hear not condusive to daily driving, and can scrub tires pretty bad.


my question is....does this kit bolt right onto your car and then your done?
you can adjust ride height and damping and everything is good?

Will this scrub tires without camber and allignment every time i adjust height?

basically im asking how will this work with someone who isnt savvy on suspension engineering, and just wants a nice shock setup that i can alter during the seasons, and maybe jack up the rear and lower the front for track days.


also 1 more question.....tax time is coming soon and im sure myself and alot of other buyers will have money to spend at that time.
will this price be available in feb march?

The kit is a direct bolt-on and replaces your entire OEM assembly. As with any suspension upgrade, you should have the car professionally aligned after the installation. However, you will not need to adjust camber every time you lower it. We will have an adjustable pillow ball camber plate top mount option for it shortly, and we are working on an EDFC option.

As for how long the promotion will run at this price, the best thing to do is pre-order now and get your priority. We don't charge your card until we are ready to ship the product. And, you can always cancel your pre-order prior to shipping.

So yeah, you can adjust your car up or down without dicking around with suspension settings. Extenuating circumstances like tire sizes and the amount of wheel offset you have may cause things likw scrubbing. You could achieve wheel scrubbing problems with a set of Eibach Sportlines on a set of FE3s.

I'd have been ordered them but now I have another problem I get to throw money at.

Sorry, I think I missed this one. The rears are double height adjustable, at the perch and the shock base. The drop will probably max out @ 3.2", depending on your car.

If you did not yet place your Pre-Order, you have less than 2 weeks to get it in...

The project was originally on the front-burner and ready to push the button. However, due to lack of interest from Cobalt/G5 owners, combined with higher levels of interest from other vehicle owners, the Cobalt project kept getting bumped. This is also why we are initially only bringing in enough sets to cover the Pre-Orders and a few more. Once the first 25 sets are on the street and demand grows, we will start carrying more.

Thanks.

No problem. I wish the enthusiasm was there to front-line it all along. We sponsored the TPR Magazine Cobalt SS and they love the coil-over set-up and the Pillow Ball Mount Camber Plates. Sometimes, it just takes a few people using the product to share their experience and that opens the floodgate. Other times (like this), it takes more.

if your good with tools yes u can install them, they are fully adjustable from 0-3" so u can set it to half inch drop if u want or go to a 1. 1.3 1.5 1.6 what ever u want up to 3 inch max.

They first run has come and gone. Thank you to all that preordered these and waited out the multiple delays. Next shipment is due in about 1.5-2 months.
