Little confusion sportlines vs b&g s2's

Ok so I have an 07 LS and according to eibachs website their sportlines lower the car 2" front and 2.5" rear and the b&g's say 1.4" front and 2.0" rear but I have been told and read many posts where people said the b&g's are lower than the sportlines. Im trying to get the most drop out of my cobalt and hopefully dont bind the axles as ive been reading also,so my question is do the b&g's sit lower on an LS than the sportlines? thanks alot!

It doesnt say

Hopefully someone can clear up which ones actually sit lower on an LS after settling and hopefully give me an idea of which ones ride better.

b&gs sit lower either way.. If its an ss or an ls its still going to be lower than if it were on sportlines.

Okay sportlines are using the LS for specs and the B&G's are using the SS. 1.4-2.0 are the common drops for the ss

My sedan is on b&gs, i like the stance. BUT im having axle problems, it is a bumpy ride (guarantee sportlines ride 10x better) its not worth it to get b&gs IMO.

Go with B&Gs they will give you a better ride than sportlines.

Im a little confused now lol one person says b&gs are lower and ride worse and one person says sportlines are lower and ride better

I was told k-sports are 2.0 front and 2.5 rear on an ls also,do they ride any better than sportlines?

B&G's WILL drop you lower than sportlines, and i have heard that the ride is worse than sportlines. Thats just what IVE HEARD. And if you like the front of your car being higher than the rear then get b&gs. Lol.

Well im trying to avoid axle binding so I might stick with sportlines.

Sportlines were ordered today,hopefully no axle bind and an alignment will fix any issues until I can get some upgraded struts/shocks

Will the ss/tc shocks and struts prevent blowing the struts like most people say can happen?
