I want these for my Cobalt

I recently fitted these to my coupe.

They are not double adjustable (that would cost double the price) but are very well machined. The lower lock nut locks the bottom sleeve that can be used to adjust ride height and the upper one adjusts spring loading.

You can reach the front adjusters with the wheel on. The rear is quite tight to the body, but can be reached, or there is an available extender cable for a fairly nominal sum that allows you to poke a hole in the trunk and adjust from there. Frankly I wouldn't bother unless you are racing or slaloming as once they are set for the street there would be no need to get at them unless you are an inveterate fiddler.

They come with two wrenches for adjustment. They also come with 390 lb. springs F and R (they actually measure as 7 kg.) which compare to 175/220 F/R for stock GXPs. I do not find them too stiff for the street (but then I am a wild and crazy guy!)

I expect that anyone that buys these will be very pleased with them. I have no relationship with Werks, just another happy customer of BCR.

For those that think the stock ride is about right it will be much too stiff. For me, the ride is about right. It doesn't (IMHO) compromise comfort, and with the alignment I am trying they seem to make an excellent combination.

For sake of disclosure I use them with a Bakcbone, Probeam and ZOK GXP bars front and rear (I can see how the solo guys wouldn't like as much front roll stiffness, but I like it this way for the street). Makes for a very taut accurate car.

Are these shipped with shock dyno charts? I would want to have a matched set.

Nope. Though I think if you pay twice as much you get that sort of thing with true racing shocks. These are really intended for aggressive street and some slalom use. If you want matched racing shocks, you need to pay WAY more for them. Not to say these aren't well matched - I just don't know.

Good review here Team Solstice Official Product Review - BC Racing Coilover System

Thanks much. I really need to get those ZOK bars.
