I guess his friend just wanted coilovers put on his gayvalier to make it seem as close to a honda as possible. HATERS!

if you read his post carefully, he was just helping out a FRIEND WITH A CAVALIER, why do you guys have to stomp all over him just because his s/n contained the words "honda" and "civic"

watch yourselves guys

Re: coilovers

i'm not 'stomping' on anyone. i'll respect any car, regardless if it's domestic or foreign, just as long as it's fast. and i was asking b/c i've seen him post in other areas of the cavalier forum, and just never knew y. but you're right, i obviously didn't read his post right and now i know y he posts here. i have nothing against 'honda' or 'civic', just asking a q-sry.

This is the first time i have posted in a Cavalier forum. I posted it because we tried to put coilovers on my friends cavalier and the coilovers were really fucking up. I was just wondering if their are suppose to be that small.

One point to make: anyone, even a Honda owner, who gets coilover springs for their car is a jackass as well as these people who replied to this kid. Who gives a shit if he drives a Civic he's trying to help out his friend. Besides - get a *REAL* domestic car. Cavaliers are shit - get an engine worth its time like a V8. You all have a 4 cylinder engine as well so Civics can stomp out Cavaliers just as well.

Re: coilovers

just cause some people (myself included) drive a 4 cyl. cavalier doesn't mean they don't have something like say...a 523hp 95 mustang gt convertable sitting in thier garage. So you can't knock someone for driving a 4 cyl.
