ss/tc suspension

ok so i'm used to having an ss/sc and getting into a ss/tc it's like starting over. here are my questions:

Does a strut bar on the market for the ss/sc fit in the ss/tc?
Is it worth buying the eibach sway bars for the ss/tc?
Does the rebel twin subframe bar fit on a ss/tc?

-no it doesnt, and strut bars on cobalt are show only peices, they do nothing for handling
-not really
-it may, but why.

honestly, aside from lowering (and thats mainly for looks) it there isnt much your going to do to improve the cars handling. the ss/tc is the fastest fwd ever on the nurburg ring and out-handles much more expensive performance cars. unless your racing, id leave it alone.

Strut bar = NO + waste of money

Eibach Sway bars = Rear only, the front is way too stiff, guys who have bought them have already removed them.

Rebel Bar = Is it really worth it to put it on any car? My thoughts are no.


Get some Pedders springs or Sportlines and an Eibach or Time Attack rear antiroll bar, get some better tires. Youll be set.

Its too stiff, it will make the car harder to drive quickly, it will make the tires slide in corners, if you dont have an LSD it will make you spin the inside tire on aggressive turns, or even highway ramps if you get on it.
