just wondering where a good place to get lowering springs from. i need to replace one of my shocks.
i heard some noise and found this.
thats the shaft for the shock on the rear passenger side. in the trunk view.
Or you think it could be just the mount? i dunno any thoughts anyone.
but yea good place to get reasonably priced lowering springs and shocks. i would do coil-overs but dont have that much cash.
i just found these i believe they are megan springs.

it dont say what they are but that is the color of megan springs.
good deal or no? or are they even good quality?
ouch, megan are just noname/ebay springs. If you want good springs look into a set of Eibach pro or sport kit, the sticky in the suspension thread is a pretty good read, it could use some updating but should give you the basics. also, if you plan on lowering, make sure you buy lowering struts too, they are pricey but its the only way to do it proper and above all safe. You can also look in the classifieds too, sometimes theres a good deal on new or used stuff...

ok so in my pic thats just the mount that broke?
ok so i just have to get a new mount for now till i can get the money to buy springs and struts to lower it.
Right.
Just check the shock/strut for any signs of leakage.
i.e. fluid running down the body of the shock.
i`ll need a spring compressor to change it right?
Yes you will need a spring compressor. And you will also need a long travel truck for jumping, your cav is just not cut out for big air

lol. i dunno even know how it happened, i remember taking a corner then i started hearing it. maybe the previous owner never changed the mounts when he changed the shocks. prolly just old thats all.
you can also normally rent spring commpressors for free at most auto parts/service stores, just need to put down a deposit.....
