Hey Im a newbie to the forum and im going to be lowering my car so I wanted to see what others have done and how it benefit them. If you could list your suspension mods that would be great.

 

Any one??

 

Reading your sig, all your going to need is pgrid endlinks and spherical cabs.

 

are those endlinks just a remove and replace kind of thing? Wut kind of a benefit will I have adding those to my car?

 

the pwrgrid stuff is made better; stock end links have plastic sockets and a very thin drop rod, they wear out qwik and flex in track use. Ppwrgrd is also adjustable for length, which can help if you have a "tweaked" sway bar that has not got equal height ends, or if youwant to preload the front bar for oval track use.

cabs eliminate distortion, which makes steering sharper in response and stops wearing out the outer rib of the tire during on track cornering.

cabs last a long time. stock bushings dont. the trade off is noise and harshness over bumps or train tracks.

Genuine Hardcore suspension and engine parts from Powell Race Shop include the orignial rotated mounts, cabs, rear bars in three sizes at reasonable prices pm me for details or email gloria@powell race shop.com

 

What do people think about the zzp control arms. would that be a good upgrade for a dd/spirited driving

 

I dont know of anyone using them, most folks wouldnt dream of spending $500 on control arms. But if youre going to replace both bushings these would come out at a competitive price with the added benefit of being lighter. I think theres a fear of the unprotected spherical rear links

 

zzp make some good stough, but that flca tubular arm was not, it broke. They may re work it and offer it for sale, I have not heard on that.

I have both upgraded stainless shaft/"secret" non delrin non poly composite bushings for leading cabs and trailing all weather spherical cabs, and a complete spherical arm on a modified FE5 alloy arm - this piece is really trick with machined zerks and oil seals; myself and Steddy 2112 are the only folks using this last one.

More to come but it all costs money so consider that for most people just trailing spherical cabs are enough.

 

ohh ohh me want john me want lol btw did you receive my lube and brake lines yet?

rear konis be good. maybe stiffen up front spring with rubbers...

 

yea just the rears and rubbers? i thought those are for my jimmy john lol not my springs lol

 

Got my xxx bar yesterday. My first thought was that this came off a piece of gym equipment, its just hard to even recognize as a sway bar its so big. Love it

 

hope you know how to drive your car lol

 

Tool for autocross. Spent all day in the rain and its a nice addition, helps claw back a little neutrality. Check my garage for mods list

 

So any knows where i can get rear koni shocks for my cobalt tc? Everyone seems to be out of stock at the moment.

 

tirerack? or maybe post a wanted thread on here

 

yea im prolly gunna have to do that cause tire rack is a little on the expensive side.
