    my girl wanted a 4 door car that was good on gas, but she had a limited budget, we sold the cavalier, we practically stole this 09 cobalt lt with only 55,xxx miles, got alot of cool stuff, gets around 34 mpg, but she wanted to go big on this one, so she got a double din kenwood, all rockford speakers, 6000k hid lights, playboy decal, 15% tint, 18 inch wheels and tires, changed the exaust tip, got front bumper painted, replaced door handle, and well, youll see the difference:peace:

    note, she is a ford girl, so be easy guys, we just coudnt find a used ford 4 door ford car for a reasonable price

    Throw some 1" drop springs on it. It'll help with the handling and improve the overall look of the car. You can pick up a set of drop springs for a couple hundred bucks. :peace:

    Not sure, but it's not hard to do dude. All you'll need are spring compressors you can rent from AutoZone or Advance. I've swapped springs and struts in several different cars dude. Note worth paying for IMO. Only thing I'd do is go have a professional align it after you're done. :peace:
