go with stock size tires, i personally have cooper weathermaster's and they're nice. this is probably my third or fourth winter on them and they're like brand new yet (subd for the i don't drive enough jokes ) if i recall they were like $75-$85 a tire but that's for 195/60/15.

I talked to Jason tonight. You bought those wheels and tires off my buddy. They were originally mine haha. I bought the steelies off tirerack and had winterforces for them. Those tires are absolutely amazing. You should see some of the pics of my car in the snow with them. I sold them to him when I got the 16" wheels I have now. Speaking of them, I need to toss them on soon.

No but I am on the stock suspension. I still run the same size tires just on actual wheels not not steelies. I always ran those steelies with toyota hubcaps haha. Didn't look that bad really.

i think i saw someone trying to spark racelands interest in the cobalt platform.. when/if they actually do i guarantee you they will be the cheapest coil overs for the cobalt. personally i hope they don't as i feel they will bring a different crowd to the cobalt community. ill stick to my Stance SS coils :P

speaking about coils...
I got Lars's K-sport pro coilovers ....
TOBY!! wana be a pal and help me install/adjust these coils next spring time?!

next spring install:
K-sport pro coils
TTR STOP mounts
TTR steering rack spacers
new control arm bushings
new front lsj wheel hubs.


I just need a little expertise in the coilover adjustment department.. everything else should be cake for me

Yeah bro, absolutely any time, since I realized we live 5 minutes away haha

Also might be doing coilovers again then too, especially if they get this group buy on these RPF1 wheels going.

Since you'll be under there, all those things are perfect for the same day haha

Give stock suspension to me

These Stance Coils are junk.. Rear springs bounce more then a hooker on a busy night.

See if you can find stiffer springs for the rear like we have in the custom ones.

are the original stance rear springs 5k? my megan's are 6k and the rears aren't bouncy at all, but like i've said before i have my pre-load and dampening pretty much spot on. i will say i have to get used to the ride on these snow tires again compared to my goodyears, totally different ride...
