In the attached pics you can see the finished suspension, the spindles are from a 2006 cobalt and so are the struts. The struts have been modified with a Ground Control coil over kit and the A-arms have been modified to accept a cobalt ball joint to allow me to mount the spindles. After I mounted the spindles I found that the Aveo tie rod ends would not work and I had to use tie rods from a Cobalt. This created another problem, not only are the Cobalt tie rods two inches too short the thread size is different 14MM for the Aveo and 16MM for the Cobalt. So after some resource I found that as set from a 96 Hyundai would work perfectly. This setup allowed me to use axles from a Suzukit

This setup will allowed me to use axle shafts from a Suzuki Forenza, I will be running this setup with the current 2.0 turbo setup that I have. This is all in preparation for the LSJ install, the hub splines are different between the Avoe and the cobalt. The spline for the Cobalt and the Forenza are the same so this setup will allow me to run the Suzuki shafts now and later the shafts from the Cobalt. As for the the brakes I will be running the Wilwood's that I had
previously installed I just have to fab up a custom bracket before I can get the brakes back on. I will be upgrading to the Brembo’s latter on as the project progresses, this will require 17 inch rims.
