I had ordered some coil overs for my cavalier, and what seemed to fit my OEM struts "that were messed up and had to be replaced" didn't fit the oem struts I bought at a junk yard.
I know the cavaliers/sunfires have pretty much the same suspension, and was wondering if there was a lowering kits out there for the 03-05 model cuz coil overs really wont cut it for me at this point.
coil overs + stock struts = bad
read the suspension FAQ's. It has a lot of good info
95-05 is the same. and don't lower your car on stock struts at all. also "good" coilovers cost money....big money. i am assuming you got some cheap one or "universal"

yeah fortunatley ebay coil overs, although they wouldn't fit the shocks/struts that I replaced on my car so I had to return them.
yea stay away from the cheap stuff. ends up ruining more in the long run

well what do you recommend? when I look on cardomain I always see people saying they have an "RKsport lowering kit" or whatever...
I know eibach has a pro/sports kit for like 200 but those are just springs is that worth it?
just springs and yes they are pretty much what you want.
struts run like 300-500 a set though (keep that in mind)
alot to read but take a look

Make sure you get a good set of struts with those. When you have it all apart it's also a good idea to replace the strut mounts.
With the pro-kit I would recommend getting struts like the kyb agx's which can handle up to a 1.5 inch drop.
