Any idea on how much those shocks and springs are together?

I seen used struts and shock sets go for like 50$ they are not expensive. I have yet to price it out new. No urge to buy new. The yyz springs hold their value most of the time. 150$+

It should be 24mm. Some Tc came with 24.5 those are rare!.

It's definitely a 23mm.

Cobalt TC FE5 23mm Swaybar 15782696 25847759

SS/TC has a 23mm, SS/SC has a 24mm. And I've never heard of a "24.5mm" front bar on a Cobalt, that's something that wouldn't make sense for them to do. They went with a 23 because that's what worked with those struts and shocks. Everything was run and dialed in on Nuerburgring, they wouldn't change anything and they didn't...

O no. The 24.5m was a machine error. Bigger size. Lucky to get that error

Just checked mine yesterday, it's a hair over 24mm while my Powell Hardcore is a hair over 32mm.

Have a reference? I wouldn't say lucky, basically makes the car have more understeer.

Front strut brace in our vehicles does nothing other than look pretty. It's very stiff right there inherently, the bar doesn't really do much if anything.

I have been thinking about this type of thing recently.. I feel a LOT of body roll when i go into turns.. wasn't sure if I could do a Strut Bar to help or is it better to do sway bars?

Thanks!
