shocks

I lowered my car 2.5 in the rear and my springs keep popping out of the mounts. The stock shocks are to long. So my question is: Where can i find some shorter than stock rear shocks that fit an 08 cobalt ls???

u'd have to modify them, and what springs did u buy that offer a 2.5" drop? i'd still look at the springs not the shocks. u said first post they keep popping out, then u say 1 spring popped out only once, if it was the shocks dont u think the other one would do the same? if u say their installed correctly then its the springs bro bad quality bad batch bad springs something.
