Eibach sway bars don't exist yet so that may help you decide.

Exactly what he said. The Eibach bars don't exist yet, the only sway bars that are available right now is the Progress rear bar for about $170 with free shipping just look at the Dezod website (they are a vendor on this site). I would probably go with a header and high-flow cat.

In my opinion since there is still a limited amount of real performance for our 2.2 cobalts I would concentrate on making the car handle more performance like. Why invest in a set of headers if in a few months an affordable turbo/SC kit might become available, or even a nicer stainless steel header. Get the car tighter that way when you add more power the car can handle it better and result in a more exciting driving experience. Also if the anti-sway kit dosent exist yet from Eibach why in the hell have they been advertising it for our cars for over a year?

edit: http://www.rksport.com/main/part_det...did=14&catid=3 so these don't exist yet?

The Eibach bars were supposed to be released and many sites listed them but they have never been released. Now if that doesn't work for you I suggest that you phone any vendor you want and ask them. You will find that the Eibach rear bars do not exist. If they did I would have bought one last week, instead of the Progress bar.
As for the Progress bar they went on back order for 4-6 weeks so if you order one make sure it is on the shelve or you will be waiting for that bar as well.

I'd do suspension/steering first before engine performance. Turbo systems for the 2.2 are so close to being released anyways.

Really, vendors just need to remove the Eibach anti-roll bar kit from their web sites. All it does is cause mad confusion. They know damn well it's not coming out anytime soon...

I think everyone should just give up on the idea of the turbo/SC kits for the 2.2. I dont see them coming out anytime soon... Reason is because over a year ago people were saying its right around the corner....Couple months later oh its rght around the corner....a year later nothing but guess what everyone is saying....Its right around the corner....I wouldn't hold your breath on that.

Actually, that has not been released yet either. It's just around the corner though.
