Ones out of an Ion will work too, you'll just have to reuse the top off your stock ones.

I was bored. You can't beat these at $80 https://elpaso.craigslist.org/pts/4726988973.html

Wow, I've had koni inserts installed in my car for a while now cut way to short, per the unfortunately generic koni instructions.....

Time to send them to Powell or try again on another set of struts.

Powell does prepped struts? What's that mean exactly?

Sure powell will chime in but prepped meaning cut at the appropriate length, powdercoated yellow with upgraded hardware.

Yup thats what it means i might buy some real soon once i have enough for yyz and prepped struts put it all together and then align the car only once

So whats the best daily driving adjustment for rear koni yellow shocks when I have xxx bar and yyz v.2 springs? I think I've had mine set at 1 turn from soft and rides kinda rough and feels like it falls in pot holes.

Snail_SS

have them 1/4 of a turn from full soft and they ride really good to tell you the truth i couldnt be happier. I can tell the difference already when giving turns at higher speeds. but dont have my sway bar in yet so i can say it will feel the same once its in

roadrunner132

Plus I don't think you have yyz springs. That would ale the biggest difference.

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Yeah i dont have them yet. I will soon just not yet

roadrunner132

So I just adjusted the yellows to 1/4 turn. That wasn't right. It feels smoother over bumps but bouncy. I don't know if I should turn it back to 1 turn or set it to 3/4th turn. What do y'all think?

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Why dont you go to 1/2 turn

roadrunner132

I don't feel like that would be enough. It doesn't seem like it handles that great with 1/4th turn and its really bouncy. I have the yyz springs and xxx bar.

Snail_SS

Well since I dont have that set up you might have to move it around until you find what you feel its best for your needs

^^^this. I run middle of the adjustment range at the rear. How much weight you carry in the rear makes a difference. Cobalt/HHR/Redline are all different for front/rear wheel weight balance,with nothing in the trunk, etc. Let us know how it works out for you.

I'm wishing I had my Koni rears installed (adjusters are broken, need to send them in for warranty) for the trip to Salem with a light trailer tomorrow.

Snail_SS

Koni rears are amazing lol nothing else you can say about them

roadrunner132

So I set my shocks to 3/4th turn and it rides really nice. It's a smoother ride and performance wise I think it's better. It seems like it has a little more body roll now which help the turns. Plus it doesn't skip as much now so it handles much better on turns that are bumpy and rough. I would recommend y'all trying this setting if you have my setup.

Snail_SS

Ill probably try it out once i get the yyz but im going with v5

I don't remember what my rears are at, maybe 3/4 to a full turn. I adjusted it once and never messed with them since.
