I lowerd my Cobalt SS supercharged with Eibach using stock shock/struts. The ride is horrible. I was thinking of purchasing Koni Shocks/Struts. Does anybody have any experience with these? Do they improve the ride?

 

wat kind of car?

i got a ss/sc on stock struts with eibach sportlines and car rides better than the stockers...might be little rougher over holes,but nothing major,but to answer ur question,yes the struts will make it a better ride than the stockers

 

stupid question...did you trim the bump stops properly...On my 2.2 that i dropped on progress springs i didnt and it rode like **** but before i realized what it was and got the time to trim them i totaled it so just asking

 

My stock struts are blown, and its rides like complete dick, and makes a **** ton of noise

 

Stupid Question? The instructions did not say to trim the bump stops. Either way the ride will still be horrible. The stock Shock/Strut exquipment is crappy anyways.

Have a little respect, no need for calling questions like these stupid.

 

YOu need to Trim them bump stops. I've been running Progress Springs and stock FE5 Shocks and struts and my ride feels fine.

 

sorry,but the instructions do clearly state u have to trim the front,the back is optional

 

That sucks, if I trim the bump stops I will have to realign my car again. Anybody have the Koni's though? Still need a change

 

Konis goin on in the spring, gotta wait til it gets warmer as I'm putting them in myself.

 

you will not be disappointed with Koni's...had them on my Cavalier. Glad to see you know how a lowered car on stock struts really rides...lol.

Only cut or trim the bumpstops if it tells you to...i think there's a sticky on here about that somewhere.

 

Thanks Canucks. Anybody have the Koni's for the Cobalt SS 2.0?

 

Where can you get Koni's? Anybody know if KYB makes shocks for the 2.0?

 

Have the guys on here that have lowered there cars are so use to blown struts they don't realize they need to upgrade.

 

you can get Koni's from...

www.gravanatuning.com
www.turbotechracing.com
www.shox.com
www.ebay.com

to name a few.

KYB doesn't make shocks for the cobalt, well at least not the AGX's. Tein was coming out with some, but they've been in reasearch and development for a year or two now...lol.
