Especially since they're not Ohlins is why I asked. I don't want those poorly made coilovers to wreck my tires or become unstable because their manufacturing tolerances are wider than the empty space in your head.

.
so why would you bother attempting to tune something that has claimed crappy manufacturing? Take your **** talking somewhere else, like CobaltSS Gang on FB where someone will enjoy your James nutswinging like tone

Alright lets get back on topic, nobody cares about Cobalt LS's and retards who overboost their stock turboed LNFs.

Installed new 6k bulbs 1 went out. The springs are pretty good seem kinda soft and you can tell the difference right away on bumps a bit more bouncy lol but up until now everything is good

Where is it leaking, and is it a lot or just some seepage?

Enough to leave stains on the ground. Gonna go check it out now.

I looked at it yesterday and the trans bell housing was dry, as was the front of the motor. Probably the oil cap or something dumb.

Check the oil plug as well.

The gaskets tend to go over time. You can get new ones at CED for real cheap.

Also, the lsj likes to seep oil from the cam position sensor housing, and intake cam housing cap.

There's a crack in the middle of the oil pan and the axle seal is leaking for like the 10th time.

Nope. Pan looks brand new, just a random crack in it.

I had the same problem years ago with my oil filter housing, it just sprung a leak from a random crack in the casting out of the blue. This car was built on a Friday.

CED has a new LSJ oil pan for 160, so the part is cheap.

The question is how hard is it to replace.
