New memb with some questions
Hello everyone, My name is Chris and I am from Canada, Ontario i just bought a black cobalt ss/sc with 118km's......Has l.e.d taillights for the outsides (but not on the trunk) ..Ottp mounts, Looks like tranny mounts (apparently they are meant to stop wheel hop) ...Hurst weighted shifter...stage 3 clutch ...2.5 magnaflow .....Injen intake.....Stage 2 supercharger (To be determined lol)...eibach springs (To be determined again)
I have a couple concerns
The owner said it was stage 2 from gm.. but it was done after the gm... So is there a serial number or part number on the supercharger or something i can look for to tell ??
Also the supercharger is loud as hell too and before anyone ask lol no that is not the whining i'm talking about completely diff
Bare with me cuz this is kinda hard to explain
I have a cavalier lowered on tein coilovers...But my coby i bought has eibach lowering springs (so i'm told) and i'm assuming stock struts...
My question is on the ass end of the coby the springs only have one coil left to use for suspension...and the rest of the coil is complete compressed ?? is that normal??..... or is the coil heated up and dropped the cheap way?.... Also they are red if i whip them off ...but it was undercoated almost every year so they are black lmao (and would like to leave the coating if possible)
Also on the same note ..When i hit a bump my ass end has like a recoil to it (after the fact of hitting a bump) the best way to explain is like i hit 2 bumps very quickly but i really only hit one ?? normal or something wrong ??? (Also the whole ass end does it since it's single swing arm) kinda scary
Also i did research but wasn't sure on a final conclusion ....i keep reading our trannys are **** lol ....With that in mind my coby has a whining sound when in gear ...But its louder on deceleration
Last question does the 06 have a aux cord input lol ??

If it's a GM stage 2 kit, the quickest and easiest way to tell is if you see four blue bolts attaching the pulley to the snout. If you see that, pop the fuel rail out and make sure you don't see the green injectors. Those are factory and are maxed from factory.

That's how the those crappy sportlines sit, I'd recommend SSC springs if you want to be just as low and ride much better. You'll need to look at the injectors and pulley to see about the GMS2, pics here would be helpful, I honestly forget exactly what to look for. Here are the parts that come with the S2 though

Alright so i looked and saw the bolts.... But it's very cold here in canada and since i'm not driving her till summer, I will wait till a warmer day to look at the injectors
So i have another question now if i install aftermarket struts will it ride better?? or eliminate that recoil that i'm experiencing ??
Thanks for all the help too
Also yesterday was it's last day on the road till summer, I just took it to the wash and i notice the car hopped a lot on take off even after the clutch is release and it is in gear...i'm assuming this is the Ottp mounts that is on the car ?? (i only have 2 aftermarket mounts that i can see)
Lastly lol i keep dragging photos over, But it seems to take me away from this page and to one with just a large image of that photo lol??? what am i doing wrong or what do i need to do for this to work lol ??
