universal adjustable springs & ss header? Base model

So I was browsing around Craigslist for some new parts & I came across a guy selling some random parts

These unknown "adjustable lowering springs" apparently eBay
... We're gonna pretend that there's a picture of grey springs and adjustable bolts right here because I can't upload pictures from my phone...

He claims they're universal per-car and that they'll fit a cobalt,
Issue 1: never heard of universal springs.
Issue 2: never heard of adjustable springs (not full coilovers)

He's also selling a header from an ss. I guess this is why I put this in 2.2 tech. Will I see an difference if I switch out mine for the ss header, and will it bolt right together or are the gaskets different from the block & from the downpipe?

I don't have many mods, just a Gmpp intake & a ss Catback

Well I have heard of ss header swaps just don't know the details on it.
I thought anything adjustable was always used from the strut and shock towers but wasn't sure if I was missing some magical part from Ricerboii Land. It seemed unrealistic so I thought I'd come to the people I'd trust the most for confirmation lol

All joking aside is there any difference in the ss header and 2.2?

Not much. runners might be a bit bigger but its not going to be anything noticeable
