which suspension comes in a 2.4 cobalt. is it the same as teh 2.0 or 2.2. springs and struts. i dont think its the 2.2 cuz it has front and rear disc brakes but it seems diff than a 2.0. can ayone help me out

 

The 2.4 and the 2.0 share the same suspension.

 

Sorry sir you are incorrect. The Fe3 is the suspension that is on the Cobalt SS and the Fe5 is on the Cobalt SS/SC. Here are the differences-

• FE3 suspension – standard and available only on SS models, it delivers a firmer, more direct ride and includes 22-mm front and rear stabilizer bars, four-wheel disc brakes, monotube shocks and 17-inch wheels and performance tires

• FE5 suspension – standard on the SS Supercharged, it was developed on the racetrack to deliver sports car levels of handling and grip; 24-mm front stabilizer bar and 22-mm rear stabilizer bar, higher-rate springs and bushings, four-wheel disc brakes, monotube shocks and 18-inch forged aluminum wheels with complementing performance tires.

wow nice info...thank god u know ur stuff. are the springs the same or not

 

No the springs on the SS/SC are a higher-rate spring. Also as you can tell the SS is not as low as the the SS/SC. For example-

Cobalt SS




Cobalt SS/SC

 

yeah i wanted to make sure because all the companies that make springs out there dont know how to rate the cobalt...they rate the ss and the ls.....they dont describe in detail for each car. i wanted to lower my car but not so much i would be bottoming out. thank you very much for your info and it helped me a lot!!

 

Anytime. Glad to help a fellow member.

 

you did more than help haha!

 

Try all the vendors on here. Most are just for cobalts so you can't go wrong with them.

 

btw....what does a stock cobalt s/c have in hp to the wheels and then with a stage 2??

 

There is a pretty fair range of what you could be putting to the wheels. Probably somewhere in the range of 205-225 or so. Stage II could take you ~240whp or so.

 

To my understanding.... you should be getting pretty close to 240 hp to the wheels with stage 2. Depends on what dyno you use though.

 

I stand corrected. I didn't see that he was talking about the entire suspension setup. They are the same springs though.

 

I dont think they are.

 

Everything I have read on here says that they are. I believe Jackalope had looked up the part #'s and they were exactly the same. IDK

 

It's possible. But from what I have seen they are not. But of course I may be incorrect. Let me dig around.

 

^^why would it be impossible?

 

I never said it was impossible. It seems unlikely though because if you stand side by side the 2.4 and 2.0 stock suspension makes the 2.0 look lower. With or without the bodykit.

Thank you.
