Re: lowering a 2005 cavalier

Cheapest and easiest... just cut a bit of the springs out.

Do it right, which is not cheap, but will cause fewer problems. Install lowering springs and have it aligned. Special parts may be required to be able to get the camber correct after lowering it. A drop of 1.4" gives the best handling (control arms parallel to ground).
