Ok, I need some help with figuring out what parts to buy. I have an 05' cobalt LS (not sure if it's a sport package or not) and I need to replace the following Items:

1. Front LCA "Rear" bushing (possibly the entire LCA?) both sides
2. Front Struts & Springs both sides
3. Rear Shocks & Springs both sides

I believe the current setup is all FE1 parts as the LCA's are steel.

What year of cobalt will give me the FE5 alloy LCA's and will they fit the 05'? From what I've read they will, I just would like some confirmation.

Also, will FE5 Springs/Shocks/Struts work on the 05'? Is there any difference in ride quality?

Keeping in mind this is a street driven DD, I'm looking to keep the stock stance so lowering springs are not an option.

Thanks in advance.

 

FE5 cobalt springs trim the car 10 mm lower than the FE3 youhave. The rest of it is direct replacement, get them at the wreckers, or buy the CED package of TC shocks/struts the TC ones are better damping than the FE5 from an SC car

ride will be firmer but pleasant; u wont be disappointed.

 

Forgive my ignorance but where can I find said CED package? Junkyards around here don't have Cobalts just yet so that's out.

 

ced is crateenginedepot.com

 

its in Illinois. OP is in same state. lol

 

nice then that works out good for them lol
