All you had to do was ask me to use my picture and I would have said ok. Doing things like that makes you look suspicious. Just giving you advice for the future.

I know this is a little off topic but I have stance coilovers (love) an I'm lookin at gettin sway bars... Question is, will any sway bar go with coilovers or is there certain kinds that go with certain coilovers? It's pretty much a daily driver but I'm gonna bring it to the track every now an then. Which makes me wonder what mm of sway bar once I decide on a brand.

What model Cobalt do you have? EDIT, I see it's an 05 SS...your front sway should be just fine I believe...I would add the rear bar though...Powell is what I recommend along with a good majority of this forum that has an opinion on the matter.

I have the Powell "Street" bar in the rear and upgraded to the factory FE5 bar in the front with Moog end links.

This is on an LS sedan with Pedders and FE5 shocks/struts, FE5 control arms, FSTB (pretty much for looks...although my mind tells me otherwise, I'm sure it doesn't really do much if anything).

If I decide to redo the car this spring I will be making A LOT of changes. Starting with: Getting BC coilovers, upgrading to the Powell Hardcore bar in the back, and before any of that, a new set of 17's with sticky summer tires.

i'm on megan's and around 3.5" lower than stock and i've been told the stances go lower. and if you're looking to go "VW" slammed it won't happen on coilovers, you'd need a custom set-up or bags

im looking to tuck the wheels slightly behind fender or AT LEAST get rid of the space. i plan on putting body kit or the kit off a ss come may or so. so if i lower ti that much then it will be slammed with the kit on it

so you have a base model? it all depends on what size wheels/tires you have too...

my LS with Megan Racing Street Series coilovers all the way down WITH lock rings still installed and 205/60/15 tires... on this set-up i have about 1 finger gap up front and 1.5/2 finger gap out back, any lower and i would need rotated trans mounts to help my axles although i might get them anyway
