It helps to hook stuff up right and to read the manual

Hey guys, does anyone know where i can get some new springs for a 2007 ss/sc in calgary? I've called several part source and napa stories and they say they have them and its the same spring for every cobalt. Wouldn't the springs for my Fe5 Suspension package be different than the base model cobalt? Also does anyone have any recommendations for new springs?

Thanks!

yup, I would like it to be close to the stock ss/sc ride height, maybe 1" lower or so.

Another question for you guys. Does anyone know someone who can program key fobs to the car, or a good shop that can do it. I've read a few posts on here saying that some people got it done for free. I called a few of the dealerships here and they say it takes over half an hour and charge $80!

So I bought a set of 18" SC wheels for winter wheels. I also bought the 5mm spacers. I fit them on and the wheel seemed to spin freely (I do not remember if I torqued them on though when I test fit). Well then I got the tires mounted and wheels torqued and now I can hear some slight rubbing.. Looks like it is more towards the center of the wheel and the brembo caliper.

Does anybody else run this setup? Any suggestions? Is it possible to machine the inside of the wheel to make it fit?

possibly they were not mounted bang on correct...
I'd suggest popping it off, and remounting it.
