What's the difference?
I'm looking to buy some soon and was hoping to find them on zzp's site..but no luck.. they only sell KYB... And seems like a good price considering I have 125 worth of zzp credit left...
But I want fe5'ssssssssss
Thoughts.. thanks

 

O and I know they have koni's too but I'm not looking to spend that much.

 

Just buy my lnfs. Forget kyb.

 

kyb makes good stuff but OEM is better

 

Haza, I would buy but don't wanna driive all the way over there lol

Chris, I know but just thought kyb were almost like fe5s and zzp don't have them (

 

Depends on which model KYB, but I would likely pick the KYB.

 

Can I put FE5 shocks.struts on my 06 2.4 SS/NA with KSPORTS? Would this help make the ride less bouncy?

 

yes

 

Zzp sells kyb, but is their model good??
I just sent them an email asking if they can get some fe5's lol

 

I'd say KYB would probably have better warranty

 

Cobalt FE5 Struts and Shock Pkg FE5-S

 

So is there a physical difference between FE3 and FE5 struts/shocks? I am wondering if the FE5 would wear out just as fast as the FE3 with my KSPORT springs...

 

Lol it's not that far of a drive :p
Plus I barely want anything for them.
Do it! :p

 

4 hour drive lol fk that haha ship them

 

I'm trying to use 125 dollars in zzp credit too lol
But if I can sell my stuff soon I will buy from crate engine

 

All I've heard is sc suspension sucks ass lol and that the tc's is the awesomesauce

 

I'd only go with KYB if they had the AGX variant available for the Cobalt. Those shocks are pretty much the best bang for the buck.

But KYB OEM shocks are "less than" GM OEM FE5 Turbo shocks

 

I just heard KYB excel G shocks are the cobalt turbo stocks.... someone. Chime. In lol

 

SS/SC are FE5.

SS/TC are better FE5.

SS/NA are FE3.

LS/LT are FE1.

On FE5 you can go lower with less risk of blowing the struts compared to FE3 and FE1.

Koni > SS/TC FE5 >= KYB > SS/SC FE5 > FE3 > FE1

 

O Rly?? Lol jk
Nice to know... I'm getting the kyb's then :P unless someone brainwashes me
Very interesting! Thanks man

 

Between the TC FE5 and KYB's... get whichever is cheaper imo.

They're both about the same

 

Yea that's why I was leaning towards KYB cuz I have 125 in zzp credit and zzp has them, I'll be ordering soon :

 

KYB 4 Excel Struts Shocks Chevy Cobalt 05 06 07 08 | eBay

im also debating on the tc susp or kyb

 

THIS....100%

I had AGX'S on my 91 SE-R. Those were the best bang for the buck period and it made the car in a big way. KYB isn't exactly manufactured the same way they used to be. You'll be lucky if your car is actually level..

It's like going into walmart now and seeing brand names you grew up with on shitty stuff.

 

I've already decided. Kyb . Just waiting for someone to buy my HE
