I am getting ready to purchase either the eibach pro kit or sport line kit springs on my car, what i need to know is i have 18 inch wheels and a full body kit, will the sport line springs be to low for my car or will it be ok........i want it low but not low that it destroys my body kit........also when i purchase either the sport line series or pro kit series, will i half to do anything else besides just having the springs put on, will my original struts and everything work with them? its an 04 cavalier and the struts thats on it is like new, will i half to change those as well or can i just put on the springs? I really appreciate all the help that i can get thanks...
no, your original struts wont work with either. they arent meant for anything other than stock springs and will fail eventually.
koni yellows - sportlines or pro kit
tokico d-specs - sportlines or pro-kit
kyb agx - pro-kit ONLY

More specifically, the factory struts can be physically installed with any spring, but it is a poor, short-lived, uncomfortable and unsafe choice. Don't do it. Don't cheap out. The options mentioned above are definitely worth the money.
The Pro-Kit should be a reasonably safe bet no matter what body kit you're using, though any amount of lowering will require an adjustment in driving style (minding gutters and inclines, going over larger obstacles at an angle instead of straight-on, etc.). The Sportlines could be a close scrape with some kits.

depending where you live....even the pro-kit will give you problems with a body kit scraping. if your worried about that at all....definatley go with the pro kit.
hell... you will have problems scraping on STOCK height. get bags!
