Are the mounting holes on the cobalt shocks 5/16 of an inch?

 

bump does anyone know the size of our rear shock?

 

If you give me some time I could get a measurement. Do you meant the bolt holes?

 

why do u wanna know lol go measure on your car if you really want to know lol

 

i got it all sorted out now lol

 

well tried to use a tow strap to hold the shock to the height i was looking for and had no luck. anyone think this is because i have fe1 shocks not fe5.

does anyone know of a smaller rear shock that will fit our cars

 

i thought we established this yesterday

 

we did josh, im just still entertaining the idea lol

i want to try to find a shock that has the same bolt holes we do then when i have tried everything i can think of ill give up haha

 

my understanding is that you adjust the height using the springs not the shocks...assuming you have coilovers. but i am probably wrong lol

 

u r wrong lol ; with cheap ass one size fits all coil overs , you have to adjust the length of the body (ugh) to get the ride height desired, then preload the spring (ugh) to try and get some shock travel.
sucks.

real coilovers work exactly the way you said, because the length of the shock body and travel of the shaft is designed for the vehicle application.

= 5 to 7000 dollars,

 

no; 12/14 mm iirc top/ bottom

 

yea my experiment is over lol im just gonna save up for coilovers

 

finally.

 

doh!

 

rick ill buy yours for $50 lolz

 

that is what i was talking about. real coilovers that have seperate height and spring load adjustment.
