They appear to be the same calipers, should have no problem using the ion ones on your cobalt. I have the same part # listed for both cars. Hope that helps.

Yea Im fully aware of their stupid differences in parts lol but you should be fine with those. I work at a parts place, not a dealer, but still I cant see them being any different.

They'll bolt up no problem. Deal is if your 4 lug, which I think all base models are, you'll have to drill the rotors or do a conversion. Then you need to find wheels to clear them.

That's ridiculous, way to big. One you'll need wheel studs cause your will be to short, two the wheel be resting on the hub it'll put alot if stress on your studs and could cause a problem.
