Alright guys, here's the deal. I am the proud owner of a new (to me) 2006 Cobalt SS/NA. I'm tired of lurking and finally have some questions. There's many things I want to do to the car but I'm not quite sure where to start! As of this post it is completely stock. It is a 5 speed. My questions are as follows:

I want a supercharger and have the money to purchase the ZZP kit. Should I do this? Should I upgrade my exhaust first? This car will be my daily driver until winter hits. I understand I either need a tune locally or send out my ECU. If no one can help me here, please refer me to someone!

Lowering springs. I plan on going Eibach Sportline kit. (The springs and sway bars.) Has anyone bought this kit? How does it work?

Clutch? Is there a benefit to upgrading that or the flywheel? I'm new to manual transmissions, unfortunately.

I have experience in forced induction, but not with a supercharger. I had a turbo 2000 Celica and I also turbo'd an 07 Mazda 6!

I hope to find the help I need here. I have many more questions but there is alcohol fogging my thoughts at the moment. Thanks to those who read and thank you in advance for any help!

 

hit up mongorat for supercharger kit. Welcome

 

Get the SSC springs, they'll leave a finger and a half gap between the tires and fenders (on 18" wheels) and they ride OEM smooth. I just installed them and am very impressed!

 

ZZP kit would be the most complete and brand new set up. Of course you can save a bit of cash and buy a used kit. Mongorat was mentioned, he usually has these full used kits for sale for substantially less.

Dunno about the kit, I'm on coils.

Clutch/Flywheel upgrade, yes. Set aside money for that in the future, depending on how far you go with the supercharger kit. There are benefits to a lightweight flywheel and also cons. Search for that.

 

Thanks for the info guys! Can't wait to start buying car parts but I like to do my research first, for obvious reasons.
