Like the title says, I would like some pics of any Cavs lowered on the Tein basic set up. I have the money saved up for them and would like to see some examples before I buy them. Most importantly I want to see how low I can go without causing any damage to my car so a pic of that would really help. I searched other threads and all the pics are no longer available which is why Im requesting them here. Thanks! Also please dont post anything except PHOTOS and USEFUL ADVICE!
My car almost fully dumped with the 1" lower springs in the front that DOESN'T come with the initial basic kit. You have to buy the lower spring seperately.
Here is the car raised for normal street driving (old pic lol)

Thanks whitecavy, ordered them yesterday and they shipped out today. Now to find some upper spring seats. It says I need them for the 00-04 Cavalier in order for them to work. Is that correct?
sure hope you paid the 700 price tag from tein themselves lol

Dont worry I did. Now for whoever else posts here.......do you happen to have any upper spring seats that I can buy? Lol
NP, Yes you need the 2000+ strut mounts.

Looks like them, honestly, I wouldn't cheap out on suspension parts. I would go to autozone and grab some Gabriel ones. They are 30.00 a piece, but worth it. These Gabriels are the ones I bought for mine.

You could use your current mounts if you really wanted but you wont be as low as you would if you used the 00+ mounts.
And as stated get quality parts this is not something you want to cheap out on. I was on the OE replacement gabriels like David, now I'm on O.E.M's solid strut mounts.
Want hub spacers? Shoot me a PM.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I went out and got all 4 brand new strut mounts.
And just for fun, one last pic before the Tein set up. The pearl effect really pops out in this photo!
Good to see you got some good mounts!

Yup I took the advice and decided to fork out the extra bucks for quality parts that will last and do my car good. Should have my package delivered on Tuesday and installed by next Monday.
Did you order the shorter springs?
