I was looking in too changing my stock suspension on my 00 cavalier. What would be the best way to go. I live in niagara falls home of the pot holes also i hae a body kit so i dont want to goo too low i was thinking about 1.5 i think this would be a safe bet. Also would i have to change the shocks and struts.
you should really read the faq. as of right know if you have a kit, i say drop it. no offense but it probably look ridiculious w/ a kit and no drop. a nice set of spring would probably do good. as for struts, i would upgrade. you can get away w/o it but the ride wouldnt be too good. a nice eibach kit and agxs would probably do you good. check out the faq though to decide whats the best for you. it gives you all the info, companys and where to buy all the stuff

Agreed. J-body stock height is way too high.
I suggest Eibach Pro kit springs (1.4 drop) with KYB AGX struts/shocks. If you want lower, go with Eibach Sportlines (1.7 drop front, 2.3 drop rear) & Koni struts/shocks.

Agx and a pro-kit, if your in the homeland of the potholes then I would not go lower, the sacrifice in drop will be balanced by the fact that your kit is still in good shape on the car.
