i love how quick my 08 t/c cobalt is but im a big fan of handling and have a few question im hoping i can get good help on.

im loooking at getting ksport coilovers and understand them to be a good upgrade for handling. true or false?

do poly or billet engine mounts help? are they good for daily driver?

on the T/C model cobalt is their a rear sway bar upgrade? is it worth it?

Rotated Front Trans Mount and Rear......good for inproved handling?

and last that i can come up with,

a Torque Damper such as, Ingalls Stiffy Adjustable Engine Mount from zzp.

keep in mind that this is my daily driver. i dont mind so much about a rough ride unless its going to break my car.

 

I do not have coilovers but I can answer the rest of your questions. Buy a Powell sway bar great upgrade for our cars. I have all ZZP mounts I would say they are for traction over handling I do not think they are noticeable but I've had them for years and am just used to them. I don't think you'll need a damper if you have the mounts

 

Thanks for the info. id like to see if anyone is or has tried the damper. looking into the cost can get to 3k but that would cover everything

 

Why do you thing you need a damper? How much hp are you running? Check out the autoX thread they have a lot of setup info there

 

not sure on the HP but most of the setups like mine are around 320hp. like i said i just like handling. i understand some of it is traction but thats a part i also like.

 

If you get mounts don`t worry about it spend the money on tires

 

and this is your daily driver?

 

Yup hp tuned 28psi 20*, turbo bay bigwheel, snow stg 2 maf meth inj kit 10gph, zzp intercooler, Hahn intercooler pipes, Hahn intake, Hahn downpipe, Hahn exhaust, zzp trans mounts, zzp engine mount, zzp stg 4 clutch, fidenza aluminum flywheel, zzp brake hoses, hawk hp+ pads, eibach springs and I usually run nitto nt05s then the 3 bars and gauges for boost and meth failsafe by AEM

 

how do you like the AEM failsafe?

running K&N typhoon intake , zzp FMIC and pipes , zzp 3inch DP and exhaust and trifecta tune @ 25PSI.....but LDK motor is being installed next week because my LNF #3 cylinder cracked =(

 

I'd like to also recommend Powell's spherical trailing control arm bushings on top of the solid mounts. I'm just a shitty 2.2NA and that combo still made a huge difference in power transfer.

 

mind giving up a link? not sure im going to the right place

 

You are probably in the right place. Powell doesn't have an online store so you have to email/call them to order.

 

an interesting site

 

X2 yes forgot about these another way better upgrade than a damper get both bushings

 

tell me about the bushings please, i dont know jack about it

 

If you're really interested in handling PM me, I have pretty much everything you can do and went with Powell for everything, yes I'm going to be bias towards his products but I have a lot of information on each as well.

I had eibachs and loved the look, hated the ride. yyz v3 I have now are a lot better. Also have the rear cabs and recently swapped to his rotated trans mount from a ZZP setup. ZZP makes good stuff but his mount is better ( rotated) and less. vibration. Not real pretty, but it works. With my 235 pole positions and his stuff I was able to hook 2nd gear yesterday when I got on it. Never done that before even with drag radials. I'm impressed. Have wr1 turbo upgrade but only boosting 25 not 28.

 

starting to sound like powell over zzp for traction and handling mods?
