Ok, I've read through a ton of discussions and stickies. I have a 2000 Cavalier sedan with FE0 stock suspension. Basically as you guys know I have body roll at stop lights. I've decided to go ahead and do some work and wanted some advice on what to get.
Right now I'm looking at KYB GR-2 struts, Eibach Pro springs/sway bar kit, front strut brace. How's that sound? Anything else? Thanks

Better struts are needed, those GR-2's are just stock replacement and wont like the drop too much.

Well how about Tikico HP's;



These are the springs and sway bars I was looking at;


And Strut brace;


Anyone know anything about these short shifters?

tokico hp blue struts are a good strut meant to handle a drop(and easily affordable, about the same price as stock struts and they're a well known name brand) . get yourself a decent set of springs, new strut mounts, front and rear sway bars, front and rear strut bars, a ttr subframe brace and that body roll your'e used to will be unheard of.

Don't know what happened to the links. Sorry'
Tokico's;

Front strut bar. My stereo setup prevents me from using a rear strut bar. I ended up modifying a late model Cadi strut bar to fit right behind the rear seat on the floor of the traunk. A little twist from Misnblu's idea.

And this is the short shifter I'm curious about.

shifter looks like a b&m knock off, and since you cant get a b&m any more its your best bet besides the one PJ is working on.

any front strut bar will work fine. the gm one is the best imho. everything else looks good. i won't answer on the short shifter though as i don't own a manual and thus have never had to buy a shortshifter.

I think you have the HP's(stock replacement) confused with D-Specs.

no sir. hp's are just non adjustable, they're fully capable of handling a 2" drop.

ya talk to a plus performance they should still be able to get the tokico hp kit. its struts with lowering springs for decent price! only bout an inch drop though. look up madjacks thread.

truth. HPs can indeed handle a drop.

i like the setup you're looking at. decent choices all around. very good start.
