If you can...purchase Koni Yellow's over Tokico's. I like Tokico's, but Koni has a better suited strut for performance I think-->as a con, they are also more expensive.

GroundControl and Eibach are the best springs in the industry, not just for Balt's. So pick one of the two for the spring setup. GroundControl has more adjustability than Eibach, since they are sleeves and not just springs, so consider that before purchasing...

 

It's Brandon97z. Hey bro are these going to be available for the ss/sc?

 

Does anyone know if the cobalt-addiction coilovers are B+G yet?
And an update about the KW Variant 1 or 2?

Just want to know. Looking heavy into coilovers and I don't know to wait it out till April or not...

 

I should be getting the KW Variant 1's in here this week. I will let you all know how they are.

 

Sweet, can't wait to hear about them!

 

I don't know about the cobalt addiction ones, that has got to be a general pic, because there is no way something that looks like that would work on the cobalts.

but theTokico look promising depending on the price.

but as was stated above, be carefull not to buy a Race coilover, you'll hate driving your car o the streets.

I tested various springs of different rates and sizes for the JBP coilovers.
jbp will offer a set of race springs as well as a set of street/track springs.

the race spring were increadable interms of handeling, but the car felt like it had little to no give, so street driving broke my hart hearing the car bang round because of the road.

 

I have sold a couple of sets of the kw coilovers. They seem like a very street strip friendly set. There is also a suby in town that runs them on the track and as a daily driver.

Thanks for updating this thread.

 

After a couple weeks of having the KW Coilovers on, i have really enjoyed them. I have been riding around with the car sitting level but low enough for daily driving and they are really performing well. I also lowered the front down to tuck the front and lowered the rear all the way down. It looks good but turning is a bitch haha so its raised back to where i had it before. You can get 1 finger between the tire and fender. And i absolutely love them. Def recommend them to anyone looking for daily driving and adjustability.

 

No problem. TPR Magazine is testing them right now on their own SS and should have an article published shortly with an objective POV.

Hopefully we will have some more options available for suspension in the near future. However since my last post the KW have been selling exceptionally well. We have sold a lot of them lately and had nothing but good feedback on them.

 

B+G coilovers are going to be sold by Gravana, so I pre-ordered..

They say they are race and street so it's fine with me.
Hahaha my car already vibrates insanely anyways. Yay anti-wheel hop

 

To bring it down to basics, the Gravana B+G coil-overs are designed to ride better than a good set of springs and dampers on the street, with the ability to adjust for more aggressive driving and track use. It is also a performance alternative to air bags for those who want to slam your car for shows, as you can lower the suspension at both points (lower bracket & spring perch) to get that added drop for the judges. And our j-body customers absolutely love this design for drag racing, as you can dial in your suspension better than anything else on the market.

When you add the Lifetime Warranty, ability to revalve and rebuild the internals, optional springs with higher and lower rates, optional adjustable camber plates, and optional electronic damping controller capability, you can see why we chose to back the B+G program for the Cobalt, Ion, Solstice, Sky, GTO and few other new models coming from GM over the next 20 months!

I hope this helps.

 

I updated the thread to include Gravana's new coilovers.

 

Thank you!

 

are the H&R coilovers out yet? also when are the B+G's coming out?

 

So even with coilovers you will still need shocks and struts so you dont blow out the stock ones?

 

There are two types of coilover systems:

1. Sleeve type
2. Full Coilover

A Sleeve system( such as the ground control coilovers sleeve setups) are meant to be put onto aftermarket struts (such as Konis)

A full coilover system is something like the KW Coilovers or B&G. Those have a strut built into their system.

In conclusion, if you buy a B&G or KW variant setup, you don't need aftermarket struts. If you buy GroundControl coilovers (roughly $399 I highly recommend them + Konis $500ish I highly recommend a KONI setup) you will be all set. I had these on my old car, they were amazing and lasted over 100k miles in hard driving.

 

great thread...

 

Is that a picture of the actual B+G setup for the Cobalt. The reason I ask is because those actually look like they would fit (I'm talking about the rears here). A lot of the other pictures seem to show a coil-over-strut for the rears, which I don't understand how that fits on there.

I guess this question goes to the TTR person too in relation to the KW setup. How on earth do those struts fit on the rear?

 

does anyone know if 2004 coilovers will fit on on a o6 cobalt..or even o5 coilovers?

if so just e-mail me tarcid1985@hotmail.com

 

I have been on the Gravana Presale list for the B+G shocks since Dec 29th 2006. Since their have been two delays and not solid end in site I have looked at the Ksport as they appears to offer a simular product with fully threaded shock bodies.

I exchanged a few emails with Ksport. They are already producing coilover and they should be listed on there site around July 1st 2007.

They sent me a picture of the finished product for the cobalt, these aren't generic photos.

 

Ksports are listed on our site right now. Free shipping for a extremely short time

Ksport Coilovers Cobalt

 

what kind of adjustable drop can i expect with the ksport coilovers?
very tempting
