Rides slightly harsher than stock.Front drop about the same as the sport lines but the rear isn't quite as much drop. Just measured the car Front from wheel well lip to floor is 25.5"
rear is 26.5"

You don't need a spring compressor to do the swap on the springs.It would be nice but not nessary.

just be careful taking it apart I just laied it on the ground with my foot on the spring and used the impact gun to zip the nut off.then stood it up and put the new springs on push it down by hand and have a buddy start the nut.

I am rolling on CM's too.

The drop for the cobalt is 1.9'' in the front and 1.6'' in the rear. the pontiac G5's are 1.5'' all around. They only cost me $185 CAD shipped to the door, and I got them in like 3-4 days after my order. I think the ride quality is great. I am still thinking of ordering koni struts soon though.
