dont waste your time/money
Any ls/lt guys, don't waste your time/money putting ss/tc springs on your car. There is minimal drop and handling isn't all that much better. Just put some on mine today and regret it. Oh well.

How much did you think you would go down??? The springs are just one piece of what makes the handling better on that car, you need moar upgrayddddz. I didn't put the tc but the sc ones on and I went down about an inch. That was exactly that I was looking for
Do you have stock ls/lt struts and shocks? (ive got tc equipment). Sway bars? Good tires?

I have a 09 pontiac g5 gt. Would there be any difference if i swapped out my stock springs and struts for the ss/tc or ss/sc? I've heard before there is no difference so would it be a waste time/money for me?

well although springs are important... I dont think you would see much of an handling increase vs if you stayed stock springs and went with the tc shocks/struts. The whole point though, is the do both for increased handling. Springs only would be 99% for looks in your case.

if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure the springs at least are the same as the s/c model. Were you looking for more of an aggressive stance, or better handling for your buck? Cause ss/tc struts with pedders offers better handling, but a good drop, well you're looking for aftermarket springs. If you want the best of both worlds, then you're most likely looking for coilovers.

Maybe so, but at least I didn't spend any money on stock Cobalt parts in hopes of lowering my own car.

Also, you can not expect to test the handling of your car by swerving it across a two lane street pretending to be ken block
Go run a solo sprint event or a auto x before and after, report back with details

i believe everyone who owns an ls knows that about a stock part. Also, if a drop was all that you were looking for, then you should've looked for aftermarkets. They're not that expensive. Modern Performance sells some eibachs for like 200.
