Problem..
It rides too damn high, Its too soft riding, and has way too much body roll in corners and it feels like its always going to roll over on me... And now 2 of my neighbors on the street own one. I hate having a car that every old person seems to love and drive...

Atleast i will have the only Lowered one in my area. :P I just dissapointed that KYB dosn't make any struts besides the GR-2 for these things, because i love the prokit AGX combo on my cav which really made me get the same springs for this bizotch. But I am stuck with Blistein since thats all i can find on summit worth while and can handle a drop for this car ( 1.6 F and 2.0 R) I'm also looking for some 18"s and then calling it quits.

My grandfather traded in his 2.4 turbo convertible for an 07 Dodge Caliber.....IMO a MUCH better choice.

Well the only REAL reason why I am doing this is because my best friend on Campus has a G35 and the suspension is stiff as hell in his car, my cavalier is stiff as well, and i hate riding in a soft riding car. I am only going as far as suspension and wheels with this thing.

hahaha thats shady as shit. asking people if you can use their discount. oh and by the way, its usually illegal for people to order parts for others using their discout, but w/e. and im glad to hear all ur doing is rims/suspension, cuz anything else on a pt would be a waste. no offense

Were allowed to give our discount to friends and family only. I can pretty much get an Eibach prokit for any car between 190-210 bucks. But you'd still have to pay shipping. So far i've gotten spring for my PT, and for an 04 Honda Accord. Discounts are pimp!

We only get 20% off in-store parts and thats not including filters, oil, most all tune up parts. We don't get discounts on order items either. I'm quitting after xmas and going over to Advanced. Much better environment.

We have stupid rules in our store that makes me sometimes wonder.. We have to answer the phone by the 3rd ring, greet EVERY customer, and from time to time our regional mangers come by with a white glove and check for dust... In a freaking parts store. I just shake my head and say w/e. We also have commission items for every month calles Spiff items. Back in October we had a wiper blade sale. Every blade had different values to them. I ended up making an extra 71 bucks that month. So we have our ups and downs.

no I'm saying if you're getting the sportlines, that's too much of a drop to be on stock struts
