PLEASE HELP!
I have a 2000 Cavalier Z24 w/ 80,000 miles. I have NO interest in lowering my car but am looking for a firmer ride w/ less roll if possible.
The car was stock/oem.
Recently I replaced both the front and rear struts (w/ Monroe sensa-track) and I am very unhappy. The car seems mushier then it was before (w/ the 80,000 mile oem hardware) and I thought these shocks/struts were an upgrade over oem.
1) Looking for feedback on the Monroe sensa-tracks that I installed.
2) Looking for recommendations on firming up my suspension & reducing roll w/o lowering the car. -------------------------- (shocks/struts, springs, sway bar, bushings)

Thanks for any/all feedback

newish stock springs (very easy to come by) with KYB AGX's (most inexpensive adjustable strut on the market, you control how loose or firm they are) and the Eibach front and rear sway bars and any front and rear strut bars, thats my recomendation.

You might ask somebody who has either the Ground Control or Gravana coilover setups, they are height adjustable, offer nice spring rates to control body roll and very well matched struts. Odds are with the height adjustment you can set them to match the OEM ride height, and have all the other benefits.

Warning: Either of those suggestions are $$$

Sleeper style, they don't see it coming that way.

I can see why... sure... BUT, you should lower it at least a little bit, a little will not effect much. i would say the koni sport package would do you nicely. the springs barely have a drop at all and you adjustable koni yellow struts to adjust the firmness and softness of the ride. for handling purposes, this setup works very well, for ride... its ok, but im pretty sure it'll be nice n tight and not even close to "mushy"

if you want good handling, you want the control arm to be parallel to the ground which is about a 1.5" drop.
