question springs im lowering my car
Monday, July 02, 2007 11:27 PM
should i get the eibach pro kit 1.4 front and back
or
eibach sport line 1.7 front 2.3 back

i want the lowest drop possible which would be the sport line but wouldn't it be uneven with the back dropping more than the front i can picture my side skirts slanting upward

oh and would i need camber bolts for that drop or just alignment

thats because you hear stuff from people that have no idea what their talking about. when you lower your car you will need new struts, no matter what you lower it with you need to get new struts. the stock oem struts are horrible. if you get the prokit you need to get kyb agx struts. if you get the sportlines you need either koni yellows or dspecs. if you decide to get coilovers then you need either koni yellows or dspecs. with the right struts the car will ride and handle great.

you should be worried about struts too. lowering on stock struts is very unsafe.

if you plan on lowering past 1.5" then yes koni yellows or dspecs are for you. if you get coilovers then you should really only use koni yellows or dspecs. remember though that koni yellows are not direct replacements and require modifications to fit right. dspecs on the other hand are a direct bolt on.

okay it looks to be even i have the ls sport lip kit all around and as of now the side skirts are even i thought if you dropped the back more than the front then it would be uneven but on your car it doesnt look like it. i would post a pic of my car but for some reason i cant says the file is to big when it isnt.

how good are the ground control coilovers?

cavaliers and sunfires are designed with rake. the rear at stock sits higher than the front. so using the prosport levels it out.

gc coilovers are probably the best for these cars

what would happen if i just put the ground controls on my car and instead of putting on gspecs left my shocks stock? would it just be a harder ride or would i be endangering myself?

You would have a very poor riding and handling car.

Dunno if anyone answered your spring choice question, but the Sportline kit will level out your car, the J's have a minor downward rake rear to front from the factory.
