So I tried to post earlier but I'm guessing I got some sort of failure because I do not see it anywhere. Anyways, been wanting a cobalt SS since I saw the teaser photos for it in 2003. Not currently in the market but starting my research. I've driven a clapped out SS/SC, but I haven't really driven an SS/TC. I did drive a few solstice GXP's so I understand the power available for them.
My other vehicle is a JK on 35s(soon to be 37s as soon as the backorder is up) and then I had a C5 FRC until a lady hit me a few months back. Now that I have moved, my roads are more suited for a small car so I'm interested in shopping around for a cobalt SS.
I really want a sedan, couldn't find one in 2009 when I looked so I doubt i'll find one now either, but hey, I want one.
If i go the coupe route, I am curious....is the LNF model really that superior in suspension to the LSJ model?
I hear they are miles apart, but either way I'm looking for advice on which direction to look.

 

No. LNF's had upgrades for sure, but nothing that IMO really makes it "far superior" in any way. But, it also depends on what you want out of the car.

OE struts were better for the LNF, but everything is swappable, so not that big of a deal.

 

I apologize, I was late to see your post. Welcome to Cobalt SS!

So were the struts the only thing changed from the LSJ to the LNF in terms of suspension?
I figured the bushings, springs, etc. to be different, but if it's just the struts, that's obviously easy to do.
