The CABs aren't too bad as long as you have the right size socket or sleeve to press them out with. If you don't, you'll probably be making a few trips to Sears or a really good auto parts store.

The delrin front CAB needs to be reamed out. We took a big bolt, cut the head off, slotted it, and folded a piece of sandpaper into the slot. Then we put that into an air gun, and worked it up and down the delrin bushing to make the bow tie pin a perfect fit.

NT01 needs tons of camber. I'm finding that -2.0 is not enough. I'm a little annoyed with them actually. Anything under 37 hot, and they want to roll halfway over onto the sidewalls. I run them around 40-42 hot. I'm going to try increasing camber for the next event. If you're driving typical student pace, -2.0 will probably make you very happy. If you start to really push the limits of you and the car, I find that it understeers in the slow stuff. Awesome in faster turns though.

If you go to the track at all, you should get the hardcore bar.

So can u use Megan to slam the cobalt
Or they just don't have the drop ??

I've always heard Stance brings in the most low... I just put pedders on my LNF with stock struts and shocks and love how it handles though I wish the rear was another 1/2-3/4 inch lower. Still looks killer though, especially over stock. Much nicer ride too.
