The Cobalt has pretty much the same components. My power steering is not messing up but it's good to know.

While the Cobalt is an ION clone not everything is the same.

Still looking. I may just go with another set of H&R springs. The H&Rs on the Bimmer handle awesome so the choice is fairly obvious.

Also, I am looking for wheels that are "BBS style" for my car. I've been looking on the Web for hub bore and whether or not the rims/car are lug-centric or hub-centric. No real good results on that the centric part but I've found a few different places that say the bore is 56.6mm or 56mm??

Also, what spark plugs are you guys running?? I have read everywhere that Bosch is a no-go because it will hurt the engine. I have some nice Autolites that are for the car but have not put them in. Also, if the car is sitting still and the RPMs are at ~4k, does the car cut the fuel off to the engine?

On another note, the fact that an oil filter cartridge is used is nice and familiar.

Edit: What's a good Web site for aftermarket/OEM parts? There are a few places for my BMW like ECS and Turner so I was wondering if there was a similar place for the Saturn.

Plugs are so simple..........replace them with what came out of the car. You'll find nothing better. Car has a rev limiter as do most modern cars.

www.saturnparts.net
www.saturnparts.com

most of the aftermarket has dryed up and you may well understand why.

Open this http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/int...NMmEQ__.dtc308 link and see what they have on your car

Did you find wheels? Did you buy springs? Did you bolt on new wheels and tires to your dropped ION? Damn I hate seeing ION owners not posting, there are not many of us on this forum.
