the legend of one low cobalt

[ff_drift_lol]

here's the story:
rides like ass, not enough income, a little bit of elbow grease and a whole lotta love for being low.








needs: real coilovers
lower offset
a mild stretch
camber shims

expected to be done when money starts growing on trees. hope ya like!

[bonkey]

awesome!!what ride is it?

[SeanDub]

Are you on cut springs?

[ff_drift_lol]

yes, until I can afford coilovers. I am still skeptical about buying them because it seems no one can get past a 3.5 inch drop. if that's the case I will have to just start chopping shit again and I don't want that.
painted the fart can high temp matte black today. still needs to be tucked back more.

(car is jacked up in the front it tucks way more when on the ground.)

Not a big fan of Cobalts, but that has potential. I never really thought of one slammed on decent wheels.

[ff_drift_lol]

no one really has, and that's why I'm going for it! I am very limited to low offset wheels with the 5x110 hub. What's the silliest offset you think I can get? I found wheels with a +5mm that are pretty affordable they're quite the dishes and 8 wide so I'd have some room to stretch. my stock offset is 42mm, am I looking at mandatory fender pulling for a 5mm wheel?

[B Rod]

Definitely try and find something wider than 8".

Yes, that is a very big difference. Picture where your wheel where it's at now at +42, then picture it moved 37mm towards the outside of the car. Hope that can give you an idea. (25.4mm = 2.54cm = 1 inch, keep in mind)

That is a Saab (maybe Volvo too?) bolt pattern if I'm not mistaken. Maybe try looking for wheels that will fit Saabs, might open up some more options.

[ff_drift_lol]

yes, the whole car is a saab with a j-body style slapped on the drivetrain/subframe. it even says so on the cylinder head. the 900 owners with this bolt pattern as far as I know have resorted to adapters which are usually at least a 15mm negative offset. I would like a deep dish or even something like work emotions to really poke and finish the look. anyone know about custom drilling? I would imagine a hub adapter (to make up for hub diameter) or even honing the inner hub of the wheel is not impossible either.

the front is maxed! rubbing bad! if i lower the rear it'll just look stupid. I am on 18's...anyone got some euro informationz?

[WhiteStripes]

Damn man, kinda digging the stockers in that color. Definitely interested to see this done right.

i have a soft spot for cut springs

[stealthfighter1]

if you went back to polish on the wheels it would look gooder!

[lilfotoman]

hit up some ksports, im dropped almost 4 inches on them and still have room. btw, thats a dumped cobalt!

[ff_drift_lol]

my cut springs have a soft spot for bumps lol!
k-sports will drop me to the height I need, but megan racing (BC coilovers) makes different length springs for different drops and I would rather go that route. Plus the megans are 32 way and only 900 dollars!
