Hey guys im looking to get some lowering springs and im having a hard time picking what i should go with. currently i am looking at getting the eibach pro kit, im wanting a drop that is probley about 1.6 all around. i have the drift kit, but have not installed it yet.

oh and p.s does anyone know the stock height of a 95 cavalier 2door

thanks in advance!

Measure for your stock height and do a freaking SEARCH for some springs...YOUR MAKING THE DECISION!!!

make sure you get aftermarket struts to go with your springs



Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!

Either go with Eibach's,H&R or B&G Springs or Ground Control Coilovers and either way get KONI YEllows.

Well i would say for the drop you want to go with the eibach pro kit! However i disagree with the above that states go with only koni yellows, see unlike a few years ago there are now choice for strurts in my opinion go with the tokico d specs they are damper adjustable for ride quality. they are also direct bolt ins

i have the progress springs and they lower the front 1.7 and 1.5 in the rear. the ride is great and havent had a problem either.

To Redfire (red96sunfire1022). dont post anything if you dont have anything good to say.but thanks for worthless 2 cents i did do a search and did not find much info on a veriety of springs. to everyone else thank you for your input. at least some people on here have the decency to help another j-body driver out.

Basically here quality will pretty much show in price. The smaller drops will obviously cost less, only a little is changed from stock. So quality shouldn’t really be an issue there. But once you pass the 1.5 mark, when you hear someone’s springs like Intrax for example which are rated for 1.7, they say they are at a 2-inch drop or 2 and a quarter, that means the spring has SAGGED. Like a woman’s mammaries, we all should know sagging is NOT GOOD. Sure some people may still like the ride that’s their preference. Getting used to something isn’t always the best thing. People do it, but so do inmates when they become bubba’s b****. Eibach, H&R, B-G are among the top springs, with goldline in there as well. These are the springs that get low past 1.5… Bearsfan has also had success with the 1.2nch dropping S.techs. They are one of the only sets that are linear springs. They have a decently low spring rate being linear and being spring only. Usually, even though those give a decent ride, people prefer stiffer springs, and most times lower, for increased handling and stability, but do keep in mind. There is more to the setup THAN JUST spring choice. It is possible to have a baddazz-handling car with a soft suspension and proper bracing and the correct anti-roll bars (sway bars). I will cover that a bit more in another post. Big Notice…springs and coilovers on ebay are cheap for a reason. As you see most quality springs are 150$-220$+, when you see springs on ebay being sold for 60$ there is a reason. I seriously hope logic kicks in for you.

COILOVERS
Now on to coilovers, this section will be relatively short as I have already covered this. Instead there are 2 links posted that will reference you to information on what to look for and what not to look for.
