They came stock on my 04 Nissan Sentra. I have an extra new set, but I don't think they fit cobalts.

Sorry to bumb a kind of out of date thread but I was wondering the same thing? Has anyone ever heard of these? I have a leaky strut(visibly can see oil) and I found some for cheaper then what I can get at the local autoparts store.

No thats shouldnt be a problem. But what I would do before a Prokit is just get SS supercharged or Turbocharged springs off someone here the drop will be very close to the same.

they seem to be made better or the same as OEM they are replacements, just a hair stiffer. If you want replacements for a fe3/5 this will do. Anything under that is a slight improvement in stiffness
no probs
