Does anyone have pictures of Eibach Sportlines on a Cavalier with 17's? I'm looking into Sportlines and D-Specs for my '05 2dr, and I'd like to see what it's going to look like. Also, any problems running this drop with 195/65/R15's on the factory LS wheels?
I had Sportlines and D-specs on my '00 z24 and had no problems running them with my 17's or 16's. Here are a few pics.

Hope that helps.

I'm liking the stance with the Sportlines. MattyRobz, how you like the D-Specs?
robz what are the 17 inch wheels in the picture called im diggin those very nice! m/
The D-specs are good struts, but I don't really like the adjustment on them Though. Also just an FYI the Sportline / D-spec combo rides VERY stiff, but is a good set-up nevertheless. The 17'' wheels in the picture are Sport-max 002s.
Do you have any suggestions on a softer ride, that still has great handling?
I would go with either the Eibach Pro-kit or H&R springs. I currently have H&Rs and KYB AGX struts on my cav, and the ride is great. My cavalier is my daily driver and I just couldn't handle the low drop of the sportlines with the terrible roads that i have to drive on, so I switched and Im loving this combo so far. I would do a little more research in this forum though, to find out whats best for you. If you do decide to go the Sportline route, let me know, I have a set for sale.
I love the way the Sportline drop looks. I'm just concerned with being too low, and the suspension being unbearably stiff. Like you, my Cavalier is my daily driver, and the roads around here aren't always great.

Having had both the sportlines and the pro kit I would highly reccomend for you the pro kit! My car is sitting on the on the pro kit as seen in my sig.

I think now I'm going to be looking into the Eibach Prokit, or a set from H&R or B&G. Sportlines sound a little too stiff for a daily driver on rougher roads. Just looking to get much better handling, while maintaining a pretty good overall ride.
Here is my car on road magnets and 18's with a body kit, This is my daily driver, and will be drivin like this minus the 18's and the hood in the snow. The road magnests are very comparible to the sportlines, they're either the same drop or a lil lower than the sportlines.

I have 2 J's, one with Sportlines (pictured above), the other with Pro-Kit. My old 97 had Intrax as well. When I first got my 01 I did Pro Kit, and soon swapped to my current set-up. I HATE the Pro KIT!! 1, not low enough, 2, handling sucks. My 96 has pro kit with Mantapert Blistiens, rear swaybar, strut bar. My 01 is Sportline and Koni's, strut bar, my 01 will out handle my 96 all day. The pro kit gives to much body roll. If you get a good set of adjustable struts with sportlines you will be good. I have plenty of clearance to go anywhere I want to with my kit and suspension. I have my struts set-up for drag racing (full soft in the front, and full hard in the rear). It can be rough at times, but I like how it handles. With some Koni yellows you could adjust the ride pretty easy for the type of driving you are doing. Full soft for everyday driving.
Also my 01 is my daily driver.

You're making me rethink the Sportlines again. What about Sportlines and D-Specs? Still get a good ride for daily driving on the softest setting?

I can't answer on D=spec, never rode on them.

You should still get a decent ride on the sportline d-spec setup.
