Question off-road?

is it possible/worth the time to try and make a cobalt off-road capable? I’m not talking like HARD CORE RALLY.. more like do some trails here and there.. and if so what would be good things to have on the car? as in upgrades and mods.


thank you

Unless your goal is to make something different its hardly worth the effort and high cost.

Its probably going to cost thousands just to beef up the suspension and body so they don't break. Its still not going to be any better than an old RWD truck. Its gonna have nothing on a 4WD truck.

coil over system raised as high as possible, TC control arms, tie rods, competition knuckles, Sway and anti-roll bars, roll cage, and 15 inch rims with thick off road tires. look up rally cars, European, they use tons of FWD cars. Though rallying is the closest to off roading you'll really get, guess it really matters what you want it for.
