Yup I contacted Gloria by email on the weekend. Hopefully I get a response back this week or possibly today or Tuesday. I'm going to be getting yyz springs , cabs and hardcore rear sway bar from them also. Might see what type of combo deal I can get if I buy all that stuff at once. Yeah dollar for dollar would be lovely right now lol.

Update: Gloria got back to me and i'm getting the deal you indicated dollar for dollar deal. Hopefully order up all the parts in the next few weeks once I get my cash flow sorted out. Definitely saving a lot going directly through Powell since its a Canadian company.

First thing you need to do is get Powell's trap door oil pan. You can thank me later.
Here's my suspension list. I haven't made the switch to the front Bilsteins yet.Powell YYZ v3 lowering springs

Powell XXX rear sway bar

KONI Yellow front strut inserts

Powell trailing CABs

Bilstein B6 rear shocks

Powell rotated trans mounts

Powell rear twisting beam bushings

Powell brake ducts

Powell harness bar

Powell Under Carriage Rails

​​​​​​​Also worth getting are Powell's floating front brake rotors.

How do you find the Powell rear sway bar? I'm going to be getting the trailing cabs, yyz springs and rear hardcore sway bar directly from Powell racing since I live in Canada.

Directly from Powell, ask Gloria in your email if they have any in stock. They don't always have every part they offer in stock.

Yup Gloria got back to me the other day. Very nice lady. She confirmed all the parts I wanted are in stock right now. Can't wait to start putting all these parts on and get my car where I want it performance wise.

If you're asking about how the rear sway bar is, like anything Powell, it's worth the money. Had it on my G5GT and when I went on my roadtrip last year I was ploughing through the mountain trails (good set of tires required). I bought another one for the Cobalt.

Awesome tks bro. Definetly want quality parts and what others have said Powell makes top notch stuff so i'm very excited to see how much of a difference its going to make on my car. Yeah I have 07 G5GT also. What year is your cobalt?

Will do I found a set of the b6 bilstein rear shocks that were sold on on zzp, on summit racing. I actually got the last set zzp had of the YYZ spring strut combo. I went to powell directly and they told me zzp had the the last set, i bought, now website says sold out. Hopefully i get them on soon im really excited for this as right now my build is way to power based and im on all stock suspension components with 90k miles. I also got both the powell cabs so im hoping to see significant improvement

Damn you beat me to them lol. I've had them on my cart but was waiting to sell my f40 swap kit before I got them. Hopefully they have more in stock in a few months

Did you end up getting your suspension finished? How do you find the Bilstein suspension parts?
