Not sure on the 2.2 cars but I know on my SS I have Sportlines and stock struts and zero issues at all. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I didnt have any issues with any of my shocks blowing out with my sportlines....but when i got H&R which was more of a drop thats when my front struts started going bad

I have an SS/SC also, and doing some research on my own. As far as I know, the only thing you need done after the installation is a realignment and camber adjustment. As long as your camber is correct, your stock struts should be fine.

I havent had an alignment done yet haha and ive change my springs 3 times....no issues here. I have camber issues now with coilovers only becuz i am pretty much tucking up into my fender wells

hey jeff i just wanted you to know that you're my goal for my cobalt. im only 16 and i can't afford an SS/SC but but im one of the only kids with a modded cobalt where i live and coming by money in highschool is pretty hard to do. but you're car is my background on my phone and stuff. i think it's crazy you're about to sell your car but its one of my favorite cars i've ever seen in my life

I've had Sportlines on my 2.4SS since November '06 and no issues with my shocks going bad or anything of the sort.

Jeff......why are you selling!? C'mon man, face it.....your car is a legend.....so you might as well just keep it. Otherwise, ill be the only SS in the Mid-Atlantic flossin Axis 19"s lol. Please don't tell me your trading it in for a "been there done that" EVO/STI.....damn trend cars, lol. Or worse yet.....gasp....an SUV/Truck.
