Just wanted to throw this up here... got the DC Sports Strut Bar from Turbo Tech... install was a piece of cake... took like 20 mins in the parking lot with a 13mm wrench. Didn't have to jack the car up or anything... just got the bolts off and the bar slid right into place.

Haven't had the chance to really test the suspension difference yet... it's rained all day and I don't wanna run any fast curves when it's wet... maybe tomorrow...

 

Lookin Great!

 

Looks great dude. That is my next purchase from TurboTechRacing! Let us know when you know about handling.

 

Turbo Tech any idea when your getting more in???

 

I've always liked strut bars. They look mean. Plus, in a new car, the frame won't warp over time.

* thumbs up *

 

****, in that case I should have gotten one for my cavalier! lol

Equipment looks good!

also; I heard because the cobalt has a regular trunk instead of a hatch that it is stronger, like for autoX. any confermation?

 

looks awesome...can't wait till mine gets here ordered it this morning along with the eibach kit. will be 2 inches lower soon

 

Yeah, the lower sway bars are for turning or something like that. The upper ones (if applicable), keep the frame from flexing during cornering.

And I'd assume that hatches (or fast-backs) are stronger and stiffer in the rear from how they're shaped.

 

so did you feel a difference??

 

After running some curves over the weekend... yeah, there's definately a difference... the front stays a good bit flatter in the curves...

 

When I installed mine I noticed a difference ASAP. Going thru the twisties was a blast! I picked up almost an additional 10-20mph (depending on curve and situation) more around corners without sweating it. It's a great purchase.

 

wish mine was that easy, lol i torqued the bolt too tight and the stud snapped right off.... waiting for top strut plate. Also turbotech, any news about the eibach anti-sway kits, prices or release dates?
