$5-7500 for KOni or Ohlins 3 way adjustable shocks 100% not worth it for the street. Stock struts with Eibachs are very good, thats what i track my car with, but even with spherical jointed inner bushings the outside rib temps on the left front tire at Mosport are 30degrees too high, so there is a need for more camber if i want to get serious...i think the KW Bilstein set up sounds good if you want to spend more money. The rear is easy and a simple adjustable perch is all you need... the ground control plates will adapt to the cobalt no problem order the VW plates and drill new holes to install. The Redline is SOL i will have to guillotine the top of the strut tower and weld in a new plate if i wanto fix my problem...or buy more tires....lol



this Time Attack Cobalt has ground control plates and Ohlin shocks. Ohlins are the very best...
