What exactly does it come off of for our swap. I have seen cobalts talking about it too.... Is it seriously suspension that will go from their lil cars to ours?

I believe the FE5 swap in our case is swapping on struts from a Bonneville GXP. (not sure what else is involved) I doubt the Cobalt uses the exact same parts.

FE5 is the Production Option Code for the parts, the code is specific to the platform. Cobalt FE5 is different than Bonneville FE5.

My front Quick-Struts were about $125 each. My rear shocks were $60 for the pair. Rear springs $70 for the pair.

What is so expensive about the rear???
