Powell Racing. .GURU of DELTA!

Had my first addition to my lnf garage.....and my first addition was the smartest decision thus far thanks to John powell@ Powell Racing. I had the honor of meeting John today and opened my eyes a whole new cobalt world..He replaced my control arm bushings with his powell manufactured CABs which by the way are far superior to any other currently on the market! You can see the quality when you pair them up to other CABs (moog, Dorman, etc.). Then John added a Powell Racing rear sway bar with an awesome powder coated chromoly goodness...with his expert installation he had my LNF from soft and sloppy to hard and tight in a couple of hours!..If anyone is looking to upgrade their cobalt talk to this guy he's the GURU of DELTA!....John I will see you in the spring for my next additions! Thank you! P.s. bring him a regular Mickeys coffee!

Yeah, he knows his stuff. If I was building a Cobalt race car, I'd have his office on speed dial.

You will also like the yyz springs. Get the oil separator while you are at it, and trans mounts.

Exactly, still have a touch of wheel hop but it's dramatically better than before, and less vibes.

Its weird. With the zzp mounts if I didn't get off the line just right its almost like the car would bog out. Like if I didn't give it just the right amount of gas.

Weird.

Someone has clearly never had a Powell part on his car.

Just curious, is there an adult cobalt/ecotec site so I don't have to put up with this childish stuff all the time. And yes, I am seriously asking.
Powell makes good stuff and I'm glad I have it on my car, and wish I would have gone that route to begin with. Good luck with your setup.

There is an enormous difference between nutswinging and being proud of quality work and parts.

Grow up.
