hey everyone, im thinking of putting a sway bar for the front and rear of the cobalt... i already have a strutbar and it has reduced body roll alot, will the sway bars help alot? and where exactly do they go? thanks yall!

 

sigh.

front sway bar is right underneath the cat on your DP

and the rear is well obviously in the rear. don't know how to explain it any better than that.


and btw the front sway bar is a BITCH to get at from what i hear. something about having to drop the subframe or something. idk. doesn't look fun.

 

The rear sway bar is supposed to help a good bit.

 

You dont have to drop the subframe, you can get ours out from the passenger side with some wiggling. Never replaced an FE3 or FE5 but they should come out, you just gotta be more persuasive

For a front anti sway I would go with FE5, rear I would go with TTR or OTTP. Oh, and yes, a set of anti sways would be much better than a strut bar, honestly strut bars do very little to nothing for our cars.

Sidenote, make sure you post in the suspension section next time, some people are **** about that.

 

Thanks guys that's all I needed an just one more thing... Any recommended brands

 

lol

he just said what to go with in his post.

get the front sway bar from a SS/SC

and the rear bars from either TurboTechRacing or OverTheTopPerformance.

 

^^^ Exactly, for the front anti sway off a ss/sc I could get it for less that $90 new, the TTR or OTTP I would probably have to pay retail for... I get heavy discounts at the dealer.

 

There are other threads concerning this if you search......not sure what kind of Cobalt you have but there is no need to change the front sway bar on the FE5; just add the sway bar in the rear. I installed the Eibach. Turn in is great with very little roll.

 

^^^ well since it is the 2.2 section I would hope to assume him to have a 2.2

 

When you first log into cobaltss.net, the home page has threads listed to the right side of the screen. You can see the title but it does not indicate what section the thread is listed. I clicked the thread and read what was asked. So my response was based on that.

 

ahh, gotcha, then I apologize for my smartass remark.

 

90? its 50 at crateenginedepot

 

i put on a Progress rear bar..helped a LOT. Even better after dropping ride height.

 

You also have to get bushings, brackets, and endlinks.
