Stock and SS TC Spring Lengths

I have been searching and reading conflicting responses on the SS TC springs and whether they lower a LS. I have read a 1/4 of an inch and 1 inch. Some say there is no difference. Does anyone have the lengths of each spring to see what the difference is? I have a 2009 LS and I am looking at 2009 SS TC springs. Thanks.

They will lower your LS about 1 inch. If you look at the quoted drops for almost all Cobalt springs they give the specs for the drop on a non SS model. The SS gets dropped 1 inch less than the LS Cobalts on the same springs so therefore the SS springs will lower your LS Cobalt 1 inch over the stock LS springs.

dont know LS. SS/SC free length front is 330 mm, TC is 310 mm. Rear SS/SC is 300 mm, TC is 295 mm.
FYI 300 mm = 12 inches...

so you can probably conclude based on free length that the TC trims at a lower ride height than an SC, and we know that GM say an SC trims ride height 10 mm less than an FE3 car....
