Hey...i recently purchased used coilovers off a member on here. I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to install these. Anyone who has them willing to Email me or have AIM to answer a few questions for me. Thanks tom

 

Um... what is the problem? Remove old, Insert new... Unless he didnt give you all the parts...

I dont have them but I have installed several sets of c/o on Cobalts.

 

well wish it was that simple....i have done alot of suspensions before and the only thing is on the coilovers, B&G says something about adjusting the shock height to the size of the drop which i dont really know how much...and the front sway bar links, where i set those to? And i am missing the coilover keys and rubber insulator for the top of the rear spring.

 

Well that is not good. You should have holes mounted to the strut housing that the endlink bolts go through. Coilover adjustment keys should be pretty easy to obtain, any tuner shop should have them and you can get them off the interweb. Rubber insulators? why can you use the stock ones? That is what I had to do when I installed KW's on my friends LS.

 

the strut mounts are on the front coilovers, but they can go up and down, and i don't know where i should set them to?

 

You mean sway bar mounts? I believe since it looks like youre a LS you would need to adjust them upward since the FE1 suspension has longer endlinks

 

SS* ..... fe5

 

On the B&G coilovers you adjust the front ride height with the strut mounts. That is why they move. You only want to adjust the spring seat to where the spring has a small amount of tension on it so when you hit a large bump the spring doesn't move off the seats. Also on the rear the stocks are length adjustable so when you lower the car the shocks aren't already compressed how ever many inches you lowered the car.

 

If he is not turbo it would be FE3 and I didnt notice the SS on the bumper. I am not sure where he would need to adjust them then because I dont know how long the FE3 endlinks are.

 

i meant le5 lol

 

Email B&G. They will email you the instructions.

 

Sure ya did.
