So yeah, call me fickle. I've quickly grown tired of the stock suspension after selling my Bilsteins. So after much research, I have on order: Cobb Springs Cobb Sways Cobb Endlinks Also picking up, Cobb DP Cobb AP 2.0 Greddy SP2 Catback
I'll wait until my stock struts wear out before thinking about replacements. Besides there aren't any for lgt's yet. Ohlins are vaporware and pricey.
I like the Cobb's drop, around 30% stiffer, designed for use on stock struts, and nice price point. Also, based upon reviews, the springs w/ sways, should provide me with the setup I want. I guess time will tell.
Cobb Front 22mm hollow - 50% stiffer than stock Cobb Rear 22mm hollow - Adjustable 195% / 215% stiffer than stock Cobb comes with rear reinforcement brackets because the LGT has flimsy OEM pieces of metal supporting the rear swaybar bushing brackets which have been known to bend/break on stock suspension. For comparison: Whitelines LGT bars are 22/20 solid Cusco LGT bars are 23/21 solid Perrin LGT bars are 22/22 solid All RSB on the LGT have fitment issues (ie. clunking) with both factory and aftermarket endlinks. Cobb's did at first, but they redesigned and replaced all that were in service. There is no published info on the spring rates but they are progressive and most likely very close to stock. I'm getting them for the drop.
Well I installed the sways and endlinks today. What a difference! Just need to get the springs installed now. Front Rear Reinforcement brackets Next
I assume those are grease fittings at the bushings...?? Were the stock endlinks at that angle??seems like they are twisted a lot.
Yes, grease fittings. Cobb does not have this issue on their own car but it's a different year. It's possible the 2005's have different mounting points. They are investigating.
