Cobalt SS with Pro-kit is (Front 0)(Rear 0.5) Drop so you can use stock FE5 Shocks and struts no problem
The Sportlines will wear them out a little quicker since they are not really designed by GM to take a 1 inch FR and 1.3 inch Rear drop as my friends with the SS/SC will tell you

I was wondering I'm planning on running 225/40r17 tires on my rims I'm getting this Friday...and I'm looking at getting the Pro-Kit...will I still have Fender gap or should I also change the struts to FE5 shocks and struts....and btw how much are the FE5 Shocks and Struts?
