FE5 Control arms from CED

Do these come with bushings and ball joints already pressed in?
Cobalt FE5 Lower Control Arm LH 2008 - 2010 25930725

Thinking about getting the ottp bushings. but these would be much easier to install.

Thanks. I might as well just order front, rear, and hardcore bar at the same time.
So i have been trying to read up on the koni struts and adjusting them.
Did you adjust the rears? or just leave them set to zero?
Are they softer then stock? I dont really want anything stiffer lol.

Thanks. Did it lower the rear end at all? If they are adjustable, I can make them softer right?

Guess you just let the cat out of the bag, John Anyways, enough people ask about how to adjust Konis, and advice on what to set them to. Maybe I should make a sticky.

haha Wangspeed great you did the Koni"how to", now check this out.










Loki's sport red TC has UCR, Harness Bar and full tanks with Pedders. Stealth's bone stock black TC had half tank and nothing else with stock springs.


You can see what I did there. Data being crunched, so I promise to get back to you with details I hope tomorrow....GC are holding things up, Jeff has been great, so moving forward at good speed.
