um maybe that is the LS sport handling package they offered on the 03-05 cavs, etierhway you are going to need new struts, so might as well just get better springs at that point.

Last I checked GM NEVER offered springs with a drop. That would go against their warranty. Got a link to these supposed GM drop springs?

Never heard of such a thing.

GM doesn't make lowering springs. I'm sure GM would be interested if someone else is using their name on an aftermarket product though.

2" is a large drop, about the reasonable limit, and requires quite a bit of quality parts and whatnot. Read the FAQ for all the details.

Looks to me like he figured that out...


But yeah, I have no clue who ISO is. Best bet it to stick to the regulars.

ISO seems to be something different

Quote:

(International Standards Organization) is the International Standards Organizations.

The springs have to meet ISO standards, the spring is not made by ISO.

Post up the ebay link........

This item has now ended... it gives a part #, etc-- just not sure how accurate these can be.

They look like Tein knockoffs... beware though. Even Tein issued a statement on their site regarding the knockoffs.

Honestly, if you are going to do it, do it right. Tein, Eibach, B&G, H&R, Goldline, Tockico, Koni, KYB, and all the other's I'm leaving out... stick to what people know. These companies generally have put a reasonable amount of effort into the R&D of their products. This will result in a higher quality product, and generally better/safer ride.
