V1 Front wheels shaking and hopping under hard braking (Now fixed!)

Ross, please let us know how well these springs work and if they fit better than the 'stock' springs.

5 months now with the progressive front springs. They fit the same as the stock springs, but offer a softer ride on our bumpy road. The front end would do a full dive with the soft springs, but the progressive springs only dive a little. They work great.

Glad I bought a set! Thanks for the update Ross.

The tie rod end is about 1" shorter on the DF supplied ones (black) vs the Cobalt ones (white)

So I (mistakenly) added a 1/2" extra threads at all 6 of the swing arm's heim joints.
I should have moved the white tie rod ends to the rear of the car.

So, we are supposed to use the tie rod ends supplied by DF? I know it sounds like a stupid question. I just didn't see anyone replacing it in the video

Stock are moved to rear, new go on front.

Yep. DF supplied ends go on the front. Your stock cobalt ends go to the back.
