Cobalt Addiction also says 1.0 up front and 1.3 in the back.
The 2.0/2.5 are for non SS.

The Sportlines dropped my car 1.5" up front and 1.75" in the rear if I remember correctly.

I think he is wondering why all the sites have different drops for the same springs on the same car.

it says 1.6 and 1.8 on both of those... it also says 2.0 and 2.5 on both... the lower drop is for the ss/sc, the higher is for the non ss... the different #'s are for different models...

He is asking why the SS/SC drop is different at all the sites as well as the difference in model drops. CA says 1.0 and 1.3" just as Gravana does.

Alignment- mine was toe out (barely on one front wheel) I waited about a week after to let things settle.

No camber kit needed.

Stock struts stress is unknown. Mine are fine but it has only been about 8-9 months. I haven't heard of anyones struts going bad as of yet.

I love the look of the drop and the feel in the corners.

It was a bit more on mine.

I only had my car for 2 days when I put the Sportlines in so maybe it hadn't settled.
