what model Cobalt do you have??
if it's an SS (SC, NA or TC) than no, theres no upgrade, just get a replacement.
BUT if you have an LS or non SS than you can upgrade to the aluminum lower control arms

if you look up the part number on GM parts direct they might have a lower price
I think those are CAST aluminum control arms
so you must have STEEL control arms because cast aluminum does not bend, it will usually break
