lowering issues??

i want to lower my cobalt ss/sc an inch or so. the previous owner had already put koni shocks and struts on it but i wanted to know if lowering the car would cause the boots on the half shafts/cv axles to tear???

searching is your friend. the only issue you might run into is axle bind and maybe some bump steer.
