I have a base G5, on sportlines on stock FE1 suspension, and im thinking about getting the FE5 Struts and Shock Pkg FE5-S from ced...

1. how did you like the change?
2. is it worth it? why?

New question 2/26
Im tired of the bumps(sportlines)

which would be better to buy 1st
the ss/tc shocks and struts or pedder springs???

Thanks

 

maven?

 

I have heard good things about him, but also heard he doesn't log on much anymore...

 

ive got the stock ss/sc shocks struts and springs. and yea it was worth it cuz it was free but i could deff tell in the drive much better than fe1 suspension

 

how so? cornering? ride comfort?

Just need to really know the details before i drop $300
thanks

 

cornering, steering response, flatness. ride comfort was probably lost a tad but i couldent tell.

also weight transfer in quick change corners was reduced so your not throwing your self all over the place having snap over steer and other bad things

 

are you talking TC struts/shocks? its a fantastic upgrade. Maven has them w/ pedders on his cobalt ls. they are better than aftermarket shocks and struts too.

 

yes

So these pedders is the spring to get now i hear?, back when i did mine it was all about the sportlines, whats the difference?

great info thanks!

 

sport lines drop the car lower and honestly are more for looks over function. pedders is more of a performance for the track spring. they dont drop the car as much but they will out handle any other spring.

 

thanks for the info.

anyone else?

 

yes it was worth it .. they're better then anything your going to buy.. aside from konis (and thats only because they're adjustable)

they corner great feel very smooth (which was shocking)

 

booo I think maven left the site cuz of all the BS. he was a fantastic suspension/car source. I wish i could vampire his knowledge out of him.

Anyone else that just upgraded to (stock tc) pedders says they are fantastic, terminator2 just did. I mean the census is, tc shocks/struts w/ pedders is the best handing for the best price you will find on a cobalt. I'd love pedders coilovers but..well thats a lot more

 

I like my Pedders springs a lot. I like the OTTP street bar even more though because it makes the car so tight feeling even on the stock springs. I need new tires badly though. 18K miles and two years on my stock Contis and the car getting hard and worn.

 

WAAAIIIIITTTTTT

how do they work out shipping?

RH Strut-80
LH Strut-80
Shocks-60.66
Pieced together-220.66

The kit is 278.34

its sold as one shock. so its really 80+80+60+60= 280

 

you sir are right, i didn't click on it

 

hmmm how did they drop the price for the right strut? it used to be almost double the price

 

they finally went legit

 

so your saying with my ss/tc struts and sportlines. my ride wont be as smooth as having pedders?

 

no, the sportlines are a more harsh ride. Built for looks of a drop than handling. The pedders do not drop the car as low but offer a much superior ride comfort and handling.
