Rack spacers are recommended with ANY drop spring.. It is all about aligning the steering rack back to its original geometry. However you need different size rack spacers for different springs and ride heights.

I believe ttr only makes one size but Powell has a few sizes available. You just let him know which springs you are using, and he will provide you with the correct size rackspacers.

if you have springs other than stock, yes. Doesn't matter what model/year of cobalt you have.
