Re: HOW TO: Lower your car the right way
Hey you can update B-G Sport springs 1.6 all around drop, I have them, and hadem on my car for about a year now on stock struts, not a problem, struts are still fine, good ride quality, no complaints whatsoever.

Re: HOW TO: Lower your car the right way
i have my 04 cavalier on eibach sportlines and kyb gr-2 struts, so far they work great, but my sway bar bushings went out about 1 or 2 months down the road, i'd recommend getting them swapped out too

Re: HOW TO: Lower your car the right way
Hey
Help is appreciated....... I have a 74 VJ Valiant sedan. It has 3 inch lowering blocks in the rear and the ride is very bouncey...... I have put Gas Ryder shocks which has helped but still a little bouncey.... and scraps due to how low the car is...... It has the standard leafs in the rear..... What are my options to get a smooth ride........ Do I need new leafs?????Or.... Should I use 2 inch lowering blocks?????and leave the original leafs??? If yes can I cut the 3 inch lowering blocks to 2 inch or purchase new ones???? Dont really want to take it to a shop......I want to do myself so I can understand more and be proud of work well done..... Any help is much appreciated and welcome......for me and my Valiant. Thanks Trent |

Re: HOW TO: Lower your car the right way
I bought a coilover kit for my 1999 cavalier. It's made for 95-02 so it should work with my stock struts right? Can anyone give me some directions on how to install the kit?
Thanks in advance. |

Re: HOW TO: Lower your car the right way
they will work but those stock struts will last about a week at best. you have to remove the perches off of the struts and slide the sleeves over them. make sure you are using decent bumps stops. if you have no idea about how to remove and reinstall the struts and springs might be an idea to not attempt this alone. have someone with some knowhow there.
