Wow i forgot about this lol.
If you don't crank down on them it shouldn't affect aliment. as far as range of motion, it dose seem to affect it to some extent when the car is jacked up. but the range it affects would only matter if you took your cobalt off some sweet jumps or go rock crawling.
I don't remember off the top of my head. i want to say it was in the ball park of 100 bucks...maybe less.
When i lower my car i will probably remove them or try and remove the spacers,they have only been a problem with me in the case of deep pot holes or extreme inclines with gutters in front of them. this is one reason why grade 5 bolts or better bolts are so important.
i wanna say i went with 10" but i don't remember off the top of my head.
On a side note , since i wrote this better options have come along , like LCA bushings or new LCA all together. This is however still the cheapest.

Back in the day everyone did it. its a small hole in a non integral part. I don't have them installed anymore , but the holes have been in the LCAs since 09 with thousands of miles,hundreds of pot holes ans hundred's launches with no ill effect.
with that said I wouldn't bother with this mod unless you just really want to do it. with no grease fittings the maintenance becomes a pain. they also are not lowered car friendly.
