What Have You Done To Your Cobalt Today?

Nope I had the konis up front and rear with the ottp springs. I loved the drop for sure. Ride was ok but I blame my tires at that time for the ride quality/road noise. When I installed the yyz I had around the same quality ride until I changed my 2 front tires then things changed plus i wasnt aligned for the ottp springs so that could of affected my feel so thats why I never spoke wrong about them

Flushed my brake fluid, added new DOT4 fluid, and rotated my tires.
65k on the original brake fluid... it was pretty nasty. I'll prob. change the fluid every 50k from here on out.

I thought he changed the spring rate from the v4 to the v5? But I could be wrong, all I know is I have v5's lol that's what John told me when we were installing them, and crate engine say they are selling v5's but I don't know to be honest. Maybe John will see this and chime in.
Jesse- No prob man, Also I have seen posts about eibach springs braking and just to clear that up mine haven't broke and I had them on my 06 supercharged and that car got written off about a year ago now and I still used them after on my Tc for a bit till I switched to the stance and they still haven't broken.
In total I have had them for almost 3 years now I think.
We need a chat bar or something that we can real time chat in, Some other forums have it so wth are we doing stuck in 97 here lol

I have to wonder if the interceptor shows KR and predicted KR.
I've been doing a lot of reading and a couple guys said our PCM's anticipate knock and will pull timing in anticipation of that. Perhaps that's what shows up on interceptors / HPTuners logging and maybe that's why the RPD doesn't show it?
I'm wondering if the RPD only shows real knock?

Yeah idk it pretty weird I had never seen know on my car before even on the interceptors it just started today and surprisingly it started or noticed it after I filled the tank up

Perhaps a different/bad batch of gas? I'm not sure where you did your fueling. Lots of things happen in your car's mind when you refill.

1997 was cool. I learned many things in that year that I still use today. I was 8 lol.

Yes. Exactly. It's used in my car and a lot of V8s for throttle changes. If you suddenly change the airflow(for example, you floor it) it anticipates that this will cause the car to knock so it backs off timing.

From what I understand the V5 and V3 have the same specs/quality, the V5 is just the latest build. It's no issue to me. I can't afford them anyway. I need to get my Nova project rolling again. I almost bought Eibach springs and front/rear bars in 2012, but they were back-ordered for 6 months I was told, so I opted to buy HP Tuners instead.

It could be the gas I usually do shell off my parents house on the weekends but had to put gas yesterday at a chevron I used to go before but I guess it was no good I'll just keep an eye out

The LNF's ecu is pretty crazy, it will register KR but not pull timing. If the any of the calibrations are off it will register KR but not pull timing. Only way to check is to look at your command table vs actual, normally the light and med load KR is due to maf calibration being off

Since 2013! 
This is why I have no desire to learn LNF tuning
