They are too long to work with coilovers, the konis on the KW v2 kit are alot shorter to work with coilovers. it would be a good alternative to us coilover just that have/will blow rear shocks.

Hmm, are you SURE they shortened them? I don't think it'll do any good since you'll hit the bump stop first. You can't shorten the rear shocks on the Cobalt in the traditional manner. Aren't aftermarket coilovers still using the stock bump stops?

Almost positive they are shortened. My HSD/Stance coilovers use the factory bump stops. even at that i rarely ever hit the bump stop. Looking at the pic the koni with the KW coils look height adjustable like the HSD shocks i have now, notice one is longer than the other.
Here is a visual difference between the 2

Normal Koni for our cars.


Konis with the KW v2 kit for our cars.

The Konis in the package are compressed. Easier to ship that way

it may be the same wheels but i am debating on coilovers. i like the way your car looks nathan. But i see you dont want NO one getting anything similar to you so i most likely will get kw coils along with a different set of rims.

ordering coils and wheels feb. 10th debating on going full polish or just black.
if i run a 18x8.5 with a 235 or 245 tire will i rub?


I liked the gram lights 57s pro but the bolt pattern was 5x114.3 and i believe they were close to 1,000 dollars a wheel which is very expensive.
