Anybody have an eta on b spec parts.

[Highonliven]

I want the b spec coilovers and if they come out with a sway bar I want that too. Some lightweight wheels would be nice too. Now I have heard the rumors of the coilovers coming soon but the question is when is soon and what price bracket are we expecting. Right now it's a new tattoo or coil overs and I want to know how long it will be before b spec is out to the public.

The word "soon" has been being used for like the past year. So don't get in a hurry.

We all want something or another off the b-spec list

You'd probably be better off going with Pedders coil overs. The are GM approved so they wont void your warranty and they are available right now.

GMI Drives: Souped Up Sonic RS

if you go to the 2014 catalog, it looks like some 17'' b-spec wheels will be available.

Check with forum vendor about Pedders coilover pricing as he usually has pretty good deals on these. But if the Chevy b-spec is important, get the tattoo. Chevy measures soon in years not months or days, especially for vehicles that are not known as Corvette or Camaro.

Could Chevy do better regarding performance parts? Of course and I predict will before the close of the century. (Any perception of intentional sarcasm heartily rejected as unfounded.)

There's no performance left in the 1.4- unless there's a twin turbo set up comming

Suspension

So it looks like suspension upgrade is now on the Chevy site. So who is gonna be the first person to test this out?

As an RS owner I'm wondering how much of a difference this will be from the eibachs, if any.

I'm not seeing this suspension upgrade you speak of via your link. The factory RS's suspension is already tweaked and lowered compared to the lesser trims.

I think he's referring to this, Suspension upgrades

Thanks Stever, that's it exactly. Sorry for the confusion.

No problem.

Wow, 550 for all 4 springs and strut/shocks. That does not seem bad at all (coming from someone who drives a foreign make). Figure 80-100 for an alignment afterwards.

 

[joepez]

called a Chevy dealer here in Houston, TX. They were quoting me $700.00 for just the springs upgrade installed on a Sonic RS (parts included).

 

[ShadowRS]

700 bucks installed is a joke.. Especially if the parts are 350.. Probably to retain the warranty. I wonder if you put it on yourself, would they cancel it?

 

[ShadowRS]

Maybe it's just me, dealers seem uber expensive.... It's 104 an hour for the shop by me.

It's a 2.5 hour job to change springs

Even less if it's a complete strut

 

[Luv2xlr8]

It says they are applicable to 2013,14,15, what is so different from the 2012 models?

 

[$ub$onic]

Nothing. 12-13 are the same. From my knowledge anyways
