Yeah, I'm wondering why the hell the Quaife for the SS/Redline is so damn expensive. I have lots of friends who got them on numerous other cars for well under $1k. Hopefully the price will go down and/or another company will come out with one.

Oh well, guess I'll either have to save up the money or see if something a little more reasonable comes out in the meantime.

aparently looks can be changed ... if you get a g85 package 'after' having already purchased your car the recaro's should be in that package and you should be able to pick a color scheme such as black on red ... im having a guy at a dealership look into it for me since he is in charge of the aftermarket parts department ... he said if the g85 package simply included the seats or were included in the cost then the recaro's should be in that very same package

Ive just put in a call to Quaife, but their getting ready to go to Sema and have limited staff.
Ill check into it, and see if we can stock it here, and or at least get the part numbers and everything set for it so that we can offer it to Cobalt customers.

Yeah i'm going to have a tranny shop do it, I prob don't have the proper tools and definitly don't have a nice clean area to do it at. Like someone on here said "If you wanna play you gotta pay." I'll prob do the clutch at the same time so i can be prepared for more power. Maybe a lighter flywheel as well if i can find one.

Any news on this??? I was also curious if you found anything on the anti-sway bar? Thanks for looking.

Yeah, my dealership told me it was gonna cost $3200 US to buy just the LSD. I told them they were insane.
As far as the LSD installation goes, you need to be able to have the car on a full lift at least 3 feet up. Then drop the engine with the tranny, rack and wheels. The whole thing needs to come down. That's not even close to what 99% or people can do in the their garage at home with a weekend.

You don't have to drop the engine. You can leave it in by rigging it from above. But, yes the entire engine cradle sub-frame and front drivetrain all the way out to the brakes comes out.
I want to do a clutch. But after studying the clutch replacement procedure in the service manual I don't know if I have the ***** to do it at home.
