Lowering rear

Messing with my new panel this week. Is there a kit to buy to lower just the rear? The front of my car seems lower then my last panel I had.

X2 ... They will do a good job of leveling the Panel and keep a reasonable ride.
I put them on my 2LT and glad I did.
I would also add A rear sway bar too. Makes a noticeable difference in cornering.

Some suspension parts on the Cobalts are different between SS and SC, don't know if that applies to the rear springs or not.

Were talking Rear Springs only ....Right ??

Depending on how much carrying capacity you will need I would recommend the GM Factory Cobalt SS/SC or SS/TC springs.

I just installed the SS/SC springs which are just Tad softer then the TC's on my 2LT and it leveled the rear within 1/8" from front to back.

GM part number for the SS/SC rear spring is #10390024 for both sides. 1 1/2" drop
GM part number for the SS/TC rear spring is # 25621162 for both sides. 1 1/4" drop

these part numbers were posted a few years back by Silverfox .

2008 Cobalt SS was turbocharged, not supercharged.
