Now put a SS/SC lip on that thin and it will be perfect

Matt, PM me where and who you got those from.

I need to do something with my car because the back end of my car bangs onto my tires (because of the offset rims), so I need to do something to stop that. And by the sounds of it, you have found my solution.

Personally if I could go back I would buy a G5 gt instead and do basically the same mods you have done and add a SS/SC lip, G5s look way better IMHO

And for those who are going to ask, YES I have rolled the inner lip of the rear fenders, but on the lovely Alberta roads they do hit once and awhile. I definitely need to stiffen up the rear end on the car.

And I bring it back from the dead.

Matt............how is the handling so far? I am definitely getting coilovers for the car, and if I do I am going to upgrade the sway bars as well. I had Eibachs on my Matrix before, and I see that they have come out with a set for the Cobalt now.......so I am definitely going to get on that train.

So Matt.............how do you adjust the dampening on the rears or can it be adjusted?

Mine are down in Calgary.....I am heading back down in a week so I have no idea what they even look like yet......besides your pics.

Any issues yet?
