I dont know a lot about RKSport, but those say ground control on them, is that all they are? GC's are basically sportlines with the sleeve or what ever you want to call them. IIRC if you order from GC directly you can tell them what spring rates you want. As with any other spring/shock combo thats been talked about... KYB AGX's are probably what I would recommend. Tokico illuminas are good too.

ok then. I'm goin to be looking to spend probably b/t $500-$700 for springs and shocks and w/e else I need. I dont have any problems around my area with potholes or anything like that. Im looking for like a 2 inch drop. Where would be the cheapest. I know gravana tuning has the Sportlines for pretty cheap. Any other sites?

I'd go eBay, its the cheapest I've found for DSM's and I would imagine Cavaliers too. IIRC they are ~$200 shipped. I wouldnt suggest the GC's yeah you can go up and down, but it throws your alignment off, correct? I could see for a show car so they can raise/lower a car for driving or for shows, but for DD purposes, I think getting the right drop springs is the best idea.

If you slap coil overs onto KYB AGX's, kiss your warrenty right good bye. I have spoken with a KYB representative directly, and coil overs leave defined marks on the perch and tube, that if you send them in a blown one, they will not warrenty it. They are very strict. If you want those ground controls, simply stick with Koni, or Tein's. AGX's are not going to hold up.
