Thats what I have heard as well. Was looking into picking up this for my car.
Cobalt FE5 Struts and Shock with Pedder Spring Pkg TCSS - Crate Engine Depot
Then realised I would need to pay for an alignment and pay extra for a shim kit for the rear as my current one probably wouldn't work anymore.
$800 for lowering it would make it look better and get slightly better mpgs but would never pay for itself.
Then I hit a racoon a few weeks back but lucked out on no body damage and only needed to bang the radiator back into shape with a hammer and block of wood. Had I been 2 inches lower it could have caused a whole lot more damage to the car.
