Just got my ss/sc a couple months ago and now it's definitely in need of new struts. I figured I might as well just do everything while I'm pulling it apart, so I'm getting Powell YYZ's. I just can't seem to find any struts/shocks to go with, other than Koni's. What else is out there?

 

I think most guys run 08-10 stock fe5 shocks and struts. Thats what i run with my ottp springs

 

I had konis and loved them

 

I have konis and love them

 

Ditto.

 

Konis are great, valveing is a little off but unless you're auto-x'ing or racing you wont notice the difference.

I believe Bilstein recently produced some struts/shocks for the cobalt, they are more expensive than the Koni's but I believe (John Powell would know best) the valveing is better

 

Konis are what i run. Not the best but they do the job.

 

Ask Powell what he recommends, I am 90% sure its koni's tho

 

I've searched for the Bilstein and I found them somewhere. They were expensive as hell, and not in stock anywhere. The way it sounded it was a build to order type of part and took 60 to 90 days to deliver. This was back in late 2014.

 

SS/TC struts & Koni shocks

 

I also have Koni's. Ride quality is good though I'm interested about the Bilstein. Might get them on my next shock change.
