Key word: IF

 

30 isn't a bad price in general.

FYI, the wheels and tires are going on the Cobalt today.

 

yeah that sounds sweet, id idnt know they did big tools like that. now i just need someone with the knowledge of going about the application of said springs lol. im a newb..ish.

 

The big thing with the springs is safety. They hold a lot of stored energy. For the strut compressor type, draw them evenly. If you get out of cycle you can get some bind and that is not good.

When I did the springs on the Chevelle, I had a compressor on them, a chain through them and a jack under the a-arm. We still almost sent the spring through the wall due to binding up. The front on this car is completely different than on the Cobalt, I am just giving an example so that you understand that safety is the first thing to think of.

And depending on prices, I might be doing this on my wife's car this spring. Her car needs new struts and if everyone wants to much to do it, then I will do it myself and save the cash for the little one.

Ok Lifter, where are the pics at buddy. We want pics!!!!!

 

I got screwed today. Appointment got rescheduled for tomorrow morning. i'll have before and afters =)

 

i put on my rims and springs today. took way too much time. 5 hours for the front and only 15 mins for the back lmao

 

alright, bill lol i would need someone on site to help lol. but thanks for the safety warning!

 

Where's the best place to get a good alignment? Best as in cheapest lol

 

Firestone stores, for 110$ will give you lifetime alignments. Lifetime as in, lifetime of the car.

 

where's dem pics lifter?

 

ya Lifter, where are those pics.

My wheels will be powder coated soon. I will tell you this, GM really put that paint on the wheels. I am using paint stripper to get it off, and it takes a good 4 coats to move this stuff off the wheels. And I have a stack of new tires in the basement!!!

Your welcome Drew.

 

shure no prob. always welcome expert advice. yeah plasti dip is up my cheap alley.. lols

 

The before;





The after;

 

congrats matt. dibbs on the rims? lol im sure youll make them for ur substitute for winter

 

That is correct lol

 

hah alright. i think my car wiill do fine with dipped wheels anyway

 

Or you can buy my HHR rims. They are the same bolt pattern. lol

 

ready to take on summer

 

think mine is coming out of the garage friday. time to start install my parts.

 

Where do you guys find the plastic dip? I went to a few parts stores with no luck. I'm going to try it on the winter wheels rather than powdercoating another set.

 

i got it at home depot

 

Who knows of an exhaust shop around that can fix my tsudo exhaust? It hangs quite low before the rear axle

 

looks like im going to home depot on my way back from VA
