lowering a J-body, how to do it
Friday, January 27, 2006 6:06 AM
Hello Everyone,

I have a 2004 cavalier z24, and I want to lower it this coming spring. I am having a tough time deciding how to do this. My main concern is that I want to do it right, so I don't run into any problem and I get the best ride as possible out of it. I want to get the most comfortable ride as possible out of this up grade. I hope for those who know about lowering cars can share any information they have with me. Also I was thinking about using a full coilover suspension kit that way I can adjust the ride height to where I want it. But I hear the ride is bad, I really don't know what to do. What have some of you guys done and how is it? I am looking for that dipped look in the front where the front is a bit lower then the back. I know a separate shock and spring setup would be ok but then it becomes a one time drop, and I don’t get to control the ride height, I’m really leaning towards a coilover setup, but scared about the ride

Thanks guys
Hope to get some good feed back from you all
Frank

Coil overs are good if you buy a good set and not cheap one

like Dropzone etc.

but read that 1st

if you want coils get ground control and koni yellows.

if your looking for a full setup then you have tein basics, tein ss, or gravanas setup.

those last 2 are pretty expensive (1200-1500).
