Cobalt SS/TC springs, TTR rear sway bar installed



The springs arrived today, and within an hour I was at the shop getting them and the TTR rear sway bar installed. The difference from stock may not be obvious in the pic, but this is the stance I wanted to get. Standing next to it the difference is obvious to me.

The tech who did the work said this was the easiest sway bar install he's ever done.

I've only gone about 4 miles so far, but this bar makes a ton of difference in handling... I want to say body roll is cut in half. Just tremendous.

To save me some time, since I'm already wearing bi-focals and doing the two-finger typing, the part number for the Cobalt SS/TC springs?

Yep, you'll need two of those. I just swapped the rear ones, I didn't even look at front springs.

If you want to do a four corner drop, you'll probably be better off looking at the Pedder or Eibach spring sets.
