I have a 08 cobalt LS on FE1's w/ sportlines , so my question is would there be much of an improvement to having FE5's w/ sportlines compared to what I have now? If so, how much would it cost to upgrade and are the TC shocks different than the LS shocks, would I need to ungrade shocks as well?

Also my car is pulling to the left pretty hard and I've already had an alignment when I first put the springs on. Maybe I need a camber kit? Idk what do you guys think?

 

Does it pull driving normal or under acceleration? If it is under acceleration its torque steer. If not then.idk what the problem is.

 

Nah it's just driving normally .

 

nothin?

the difference between the TC shocks/struts and the LS shocks/struts is night and day.

I'm on the ss/tc shock/struts w/ sportlines and love it. The ride height, the ride itself is great.

Cost me about $350 for the ss/tc shocks/struts.

 

Oh nice but I'm still trying to compare them to the pedders spring with tc shocks/struts

 

ive read a lot of posts on the pedders v sportlines debate lately, an most seem to prefer the pedders. i like the ride height of the sportlines better.

on a side note, where can i get ahold of sum FE5 shocks/struts? anyplace besides the dealer?

 

Crateenginedepot.com

 

was jut on there. they got sum nice packages. prices arent too bad either...

 

What springs did you end up getting?

 

im going with the FE5 shock struts and sportlines. the sportlines are cheaper, and i like the ride height better. i dont race much, once a month, so im not too concerned with the difference in performance.

 

Yeah, I like the sportlines as you know. I sold them only because I was bottoming out a bit too much due to the huge road dips close to home.

theres a lot of that stuff in my area too, but im pretty good at avoiding it. im lowered now, on heated springs. it want my idea, bought the car like that... its low as hell tho, on 225/40 and stock rims ive got about 3/4 inch of tuck. sportlines will bring it up a bit..
my struts are tarting to go now, and i get taxes back in a week, so new suspension!

 

haha your on heated springs? wow your a ******* genius arent u lol good luck with that

 

notice how i said i bought the car like that...
i wasnt aware at the time, jus assumed it was on lowering springs.
thats why im re-doing my suspension next week.

 

well thats good that your changing it cause thats definately not safe and the guy you bought your car is a ******* idiot and when you race once a month what kinda racing are we talking about?

 

ya i know. im jus now able to afford the switch, so im excited.
the local track puts on an event one night a month.
it an 1/8th mile drag. i get about 3 to 5 runs usualy.

 

well thats good and oh ok i thought u meant road racing i was gonna say if you do any kind of road racing the pedders is gonna be better than sportlines

 

Me too, But I also sold them because I got my BC coils...hahaha.

 

lol. i dislike not having spare money to get all these nifty mods...

 

Maybe you could wait a little and save up for some coilovers.
I got them for a great price.

 

im impatient... lol
i wa plannin on gettin koni an sportlines, but everyone suggested the FE5s so ill try it out.

 

The FE5s are very good, I had them. The Konis are double the $$$, for me not an option, so that's why I spent a couple hundred more and got the BCs, waaayyy more fun......

Yes siree bob!

 

I'm pretty dead set on the FE5 w/ pedders & if for some reason i don't llike the way th pedders look, I'll just throw my sportlines back on the FE5's
