For $500 - don't bother with a suspension your lacking around 2-300 bucks for a good range setup.
Go full exhaust, and lighten anything that rotates.

Lol Cody, I my Eibach springs cost $100, on factory suspension, almost a year and no problems :) rides smooth...........but it probably could be a lot better, never rode i na car with afermarket struts and such....but for springs on stock shit, runs real smooth.

how low did you drop it i wold like to go low enuff that my rims would look good on it but my stock tires have to go back on for winter and there about 2in bigger im wanting to get some wheel spacers for the rims but cant find them any where

Lowering on stock sturts/shocks is not only completely stupid but dangerous. A set of KYB AGX's are only around $350-$400 and then you can get a decent set of used springs all the time.
as far as exhaust get something custom, usually cheaper to do so. get a header, high flow cat, a good res and a decent highflow muffler (there are alot of choices) if you are looking for speed out of a 2200 it is pretty much turbo or nitrous. everything else on that motor will get you exactly no where

It isnt stupid or dangerous to lower on stock struts...........I have had it on my car a year and it runs fine..

do a little research on just how shitty gm stock struts are and you will understand. They are not made for any type of drop..or hell any type of abuse really.

I blew out the strut mounts, and my cv shafts being dropped on lower springs and stock struts. Give it time before before shit starts breaking.

Aftermarket struts are just too much money....$400.....definately cant afford it, maybe Ill buy some Monroe ones, they look pretty good

you'll be back to square one within no time. Those will blow out too. They are not internally valved right to handle the progressive spring rate that comes with the Eibach springs. Save the $200 you would have spent on those and wait a little while longer and get the right parts to do the job. The AGX's have come down in price since i bought mine. I got mine for $120 a piece. But since your in the sportlines, look into the tokico D-specs. AGX's can only handle 1.5" drop. ( eibach prokit, H&R, tein H-spec springs)

do NOT drop any amount to stock struts....if you don't have enough money just wait and save and buy them.....you will end up saving money in the long run. why buy new stock replacement struts that are going to blow....just a complete waste of money
