never lowered a cavalier b4 but its prolly not that different from my honda,
use a spring compressor to well, compress the springs, unbolt ur shocks from the shock towers and slide the old spring off, slowly un-compress the spring and when its back 2 normal, put the tool on ur new spring and compress that, install, bolt shock up again and un-compress the spring, (do this for all 4) and there u go, a nice 2" drop, next, take ur car to an alignment shop, u may or may not need a camber adjustment kit, i've heard if u drop ur car 2 inches or more u most likely need one
have fun and hope that helps :)
