People seem to have problems with centerforce. Dont get spec either because they're even bigger crap. If you're not boosted get a stock replacement sachs (which may or may not be a exedy street disk ). Or if you are boosted look at the act or exedy. You may be able to run the same money saver that we can in j-bodies since you have the same engine and tranny. We run the stock pressure plate with Advanced Clutch Technology 6224222 - ACT Race Clutch Discs - Overview - SummitRacing.com its a 6 puck ceramic disk that grabs hard, doesnt chatter much, and has better clutch feel than stock.

just checked and that clutch is listed to fit the 2.2 cobalt, so its a go. With a sachs pressure plate this thing works great. I would also suggest putting in a new throw out bearing/slave cylinder while you're in there.

Advanced Clutch Technology 4224222 - ACT Race Clutch Discs - Overview - SummitRacing.com

they also sell it in a 4 puck which will grab even harder but get to be harder to street.
