Rally Balt

[themeanmarine83]

So, here is an interesting thought. a Rally Cobalt. I mean something that could be street driven, but off road capable. The reason behind this idea is that I have to do a lot of driving down a long dirt road (about 5 miles) and I am tired of putting my car through all the abuse (florida dirt roads SUCK!).

So, I thought, wouldn't it be great if the Balt had a little beefed up suspension, maybe like a 1 to 2 inch lift. Then i could fit maybe some A/T tires on it. Maybe even flare out the fenders a little and put on some spacers. Besides looking bad ass, I think it would make a bumpy trip a little more bearable (FUN!)

Anyone know if there are any components from other GMs that may fit our cars to make this not so expensive like some taller springs, struts and shocks? Also, what might need to be done to any other components?

Thanks for the insight and ideas!

lol the base models pretty much look like a 4x4 already......but to the forum.......bump

yeah they do, but i would like to maybe put some more rugged shocks and struts on the car. also, probably some better steering components.

one day i was bored and looking at pics of cobalts on google and i came across a pic of one that was raised and had 4x4 tires on it....not sure exactly where i had seen it but it has been done.....good luck....wish i could help more

You don't necessarily need components made specifically for a cobalt. In this case you will have to look elsewhere as far as parts are concerned and custom built it. It can be done just takes time effort and money

I am definetly expecting to spend some cash. I was looking on tire rack for some tires. Found some dunlops for 70 each
