Damn it .. we want updates !!!!

P.S. My endlinks and braided hoses are AWESOME ! (FYI though, ship 10mm washers with the cobalt rear ones )

Let us know how they ride! - I feel that my Monroe's have settled nicely now, they aren't rough at all anymore since I put in these greasable Moog Endlinks and Control Arms with greasable bushings. (I think my stock ones were simply compressed to f*ck) However if these do turn out excellent you know Bryant I only live 3 hours from you. I'll drive to NJ to see how it feels! - just saying!

BTW - are those inserts dual or single valved?

Camp out the Cobalt forums or ebay! I picked up the calipers, rotors, pin kits, and pads all brand new for 520 shipped, bye bye warped rotors!

Because racecar...

if the one on the right are G6 OEM grade, I clearly only see a 1 inch difference in the length of the piston, shorter butt stop?

It was a little difficult to show in the picture, but the free length is about a 1/2" longer than the stock one, and the compressed length is about 1/2" shorter, so you actually have more travel than with the stock one

Oh and the inserts are single adjustable rebound, bump is non adjustable but a little firmer than stock

Ahhh so these inserts even thought they aren't the same length as the stock OEM grade stocks they will still work? (even with your Peddlers/Eibachs) - any custom fabrication needed?

In English for the IT nerd this means the yellow ones are adjustable for lowering applications? - if so, what is the cost for the full set?

They work fine, since they have a slightly longer stroke than the OEM ones you can actually lower the car a little more without bottoming out the struts, but im not low enough to worry about that anyways. As for fabrication, theyre inserts so it requires cutting open your stock strut to put them in, but its nothing you cant do in your own garage with some simple tools.

As for the adjustability, theyre adjustable for rebound so when you lower you car with stiffer springs, you can set the rebound to be stiffer as well, so that you can keep the stiffer springs under control and keep yourself from bouncing. And I think it will end up costing around $540 shipped for all 4 corners.

Ill be sure to put up a how to once theyre all finished, im still waiting on another stock strut to finish the fronts and for the rear konis to come in.

Please post a How-to if you can once it's all done.

You did sand the primer before you painted the calipers right???
