Don't forget to read the reviews and order (2) for a complete set. Which makes a whopping 26 dollars

Just ordered the last one. Thanks John and Gloria! Got the XXX bar, CABS, and YYZ springs. Also have Konis, BFG Rivals, end links, and stainless steel brake lines on order. It's gonna be like Christmas when all of this shows up! Have my eye on the under car rails - maybe this winter.

Nice. I just checked off the XXX on my list an hour ago. Feels far more solid back there and obviously wants to turn much better now. What steel lines did you go with?

John, torque specs on the bolts? I read 50 ft. lbs on two other threads on here but just want to make sure.

Went with FTP lines from OTTP. Seem to be good quality and cheaper than Goodridge from Tire Rack.

Approximately how much do the latest YYZ springs lower a TC? I'm picking up some steering rack spacers and need to know 0.5 - 1.0", 1.0" - 1.5", or 1.5 - 2.0".

dont need rack spacers. your lucky day. the amount that it lowers the car is still not enough to create bump steer. Its a production car. Most of the time folks on here have not checked their tire pressures for three months so that tells you something.

and by the way the folks selling different thickness rack spacers never checked bump steer on a cobalt in their lives. my opinion

or know how to measure it. or have the equipment to do so... etc etc etc

Already have too much power as is for these tight tracks haha, slicks are in order when my Direzza's wear down.

Bryan, who I'm sure you know (06black), ran a C16 or some race gas tune in a friends LNF when he had it, thing scooted quite well.

Woah. Damn this PVC upgrade. Mines has a crack in it already. >.< I guess that's what happens when u try to move and hide stuff. Mines was all visible and I couldn't stand it. Aside that still works great.

He is in pro index class so thankfully, not my competition.

Will be cool to see his times with essentially the same car and learn the path he takes.

Also, beautiful work on the XXX bar. Words cannot describe how planted it feels now on my Direzza setup. You can really feel that front end working.

Looks great!! the latest run will come with plastic nut serts and stainless bolts. Or should they be black coated? so many things to consider lol/ next month offset brackets...Revolution has had his on for a few weeks now, did a few high speed runs, says the plate even with no frame doesnt move at all/at all.

I would say black coated bolts, that's what I would of used but I couldn't find any laying around hence plastic nuts/bolts.
