Yours haven't settled yet... you will get another 1/4 to 1/2" of drop as they get worn in...

Quoted from ZZP

Superior Sport Chassis springs lower your car approximately 1.25". They have a factory spring rate so the ride is as close to stock as you can get in a lowering spring. Pogo is less than Eibachs but drop is very similar. These are the latest version of SSC springs incorporating the best they have to offer!
1.5" front / 1.3" rear drop for Cobalt

sagging is one thing.... settling is what happens when metal is compressed enough times... all springs settle some

your right dude theres different quotes all over the place all i know is that from all the pics ive seen you end up with about a two finger gap upfront and pretty much the same in the back i wasnt really sure either but basically its a little more then peddars, not as hardbody as sportlines and H&R
so decent ride and perfect amount of drop without scraping everything
and i ordered off the CM website
seemed like the best choice for a daily driver
