Depends on what springs you want to go with, I would say go with Sportlines or H&R

yea all the suspensions are interchangeable..

so any springs made for a cobalt will fit ALL cobalts

I had the Tenzo's and they rode decent.. Can get a little bumpy at times though.. remember the lower you go the stiffer the ride will be

well if you are getting a kit and are afraid of scraping I would go with the higher setup cause that will give you better clearance

Also again.. the higher the springs are the better they are going to ride

If you have larger than stock rims dont be suprised if they scrape. also have fun with the front struts... they are a real bitch to remove when not using air and they still arent cake when using air.
