So I only have one recommendation for the Rock Auto products. I'm shocked that the ecotech community hasn't come up with something better or stronger considering what these engine's are capable of. "I've found the cost of better parts is less than 25% the cost of doing it twice!!! "Not to mention downtime, towing etc!
Not sure what you are saying here. In fact, I read it several times. Seems like something got left out of your post......maybe ?
The part above, in blue. No clue on what that means.

Spending the extra for ARP bolts, Double Diamond gears etc more than pays off in longevity and ability to withstand many times anything originally intended. My recent plans for any engine builds will be an 8.5 compression blower motor. It will run all day on regular pump gas and easily handle periodic full blown nitrous hits or other random idiocy. All of the extra cost is easily made up for in general longevity and a usability.

I want to look for it nearby
don't forget, I have a high shipping cost, so the final price of a bare CV joint can be much lower

Their LNF axles(which are currently sold out) are for the SS. They won't fit your car.
Their 2.2/2.4 axles are for manual transmission only.
Their LSJ axles, I don't know, probably won't work, but you could nose around the Cobalt SS forums to see if it's been done.
