which struts?
Wednesday, October 01, 2008 8:54 AM
Ok i have a 2000 cavalier that I have 19in wheels on. The car is already lowered and it rides like crap. Now me being stupid and not listen to people on here I went and ordered some dropzone struts for my car and they would not work with my 19's. When I installed the struts the bottom spring purtch was sitting on top of the tire. So im getting my money back and im looking to get some good riding sturts for my cavalier that will work with my 19's. Im not looking for the best handling sturts. Im really look for a good riding strut thats not going to wear out fast because the car is lowered and the struts need to work with my 19's. Let me know what and where I can get some good struts that will work on my car with the 19s, thanks guys.

doesnt matter what wheels you have, unless you have some crazy high offset. anyway dropzone struts are garbage so its good your getting rid of them. if you have goldline springs like your profile says then the only good struts to handle those that wont blow are koni yellows and tokico dspecs. both are around 550. those really are the only 2 struts you can use if you want to do it right. you can try and use agx struts but they are only good and warrantied up to a 1.5" drop. they may work for some time but theres no telling when they will blow and when they do, you'll be stuck in the same situtaion you are now.

Ya i was told the car is lowered on goldline springs. The springs are yellow in color is that helps any lol. there is some #'s on the springs and im going to get the #'s off and see if I can find what brand they are. So where is the best place to buy the struts?
