Yes DF has rear coil overs available. They are on the car that Matt from demo ranch got if you want to see what they look likeGood too know that's that's much easier then trying to find something to match the goblin front
That's what I thought but i wasn't sure if he put them on or if it came with the goblin he gotYes DF has rear coil overs available. They are on the car that Matt from demo ranch got if you want to see what they look like
That's what I'm thinking since I think the spring is not that wide... so if you put coilovers on, can you go with a bigger wheel/tire combo and not worry about running into the strut?
Here are some pictures and I think your right you would only be able to go tallerBased on the pictures that I've seen, the interference would be between the tire and strut body/spring seat. That is to say, running coilovers could get a taller tire, but not necessarily a wider one.
That sounds really soft. No problems with rocks getting stuck in them?
Remember a 100 treadlife tire on a 1500 lb. car is like having a 200+ treadlife rated tire on a stock Cobalt. Also you will need to run a much lower PSI in the tire otherwise you will wear out the center of the tire.100? you must go through those pretty quick Has anyone fit 15's under the cobalt brakes? That would bring the cost down quite a bit. As well as weight. Sorry for thread jacking
Never thought of treadwear in that way. I have 200tw on an na miata. It grips like crazy under stock power around a track.Remember a 100 treadlife tire on a 1500 lb. car is like having a 200+ treadlife rated tire on a stock Cobalt.

I learned this on my Stalker (pictured above my userid). I had pumped up my tires for an autocross and found NO grip at all! Was taken aside by a more experienced racer and told to lower the pressures a bunch. Did and set FTD with street tires!
Be careful with the purple crack... its easy to get hooked. FWIW I sold my Miata to get a Goblin. I'll probably end up with some A7's at some point.Never thought of treadwear in that way. I have 200tw on an na miata. It grips like crazy under stock power around a track.
If I can ever actually afford a goblin, I'm thinking about getting a set of dedicated Hoosiers for the track, as well as street tires just for fun! That's why I'm interested in how much meat you can have on them without fitment problems. More grip = more fun
