Lowering Springs

[JaysZ24]

I think i might give it a try first im gonna clean them up n paint them red or black not sure yet

[my99cavy]

Ok if your going to paint them I would recommend sanding them a little bit to get some of the rust off then prime them and then paint them.

[JaysZ24]

Ya i allso want to paint the interior of my car kinda like u did but i think i would just buy some parts from an auto wrecker n try to paint them that way if i think its shit it dosen't matter as much

[my99cavy]

Yeah its really easy to do the interior its just time consuming. If you havent done it before and dont want to mess up your own interior then a junkyard wouldnt be a bad idea. just be prepared to do ALOT of sanding.

The only black set of springs i Know on the market are made my Eibach and are the Prokit. Look for markings of the manufacturer, mine have white stampings of Eibach on ever one of them. Unless they were painted...

[Cavalier2000]

if you use them get them sandblasted and then powdercoated, that will make them look better, I would imagine you might be able to get them test pressed... and i wrong on that

Ive had stock shocks/struts on a 1.75" drop for about a year now with no problems at all

[JaysZ24]

Ya im still not sure if im gonna do that i might wait till the spring so i don't get stuck in the snow LOL

sorta off topic, what's the difference between lowering springs and coilovers. Somebody please enlighten me.

[Lances133]

Coilovers are adjustable, more expensive, and make the ride alot stiffer/harder on bumps, springs you cant adjust, they're cheaper, and they're not as stiff, and if you get the kyb agx adjustable shocks/struts you can adjust the dampening force on those. Either way, your ride is going to be alot more stiff/harder then the stock set up...that's why I'm keeping the stock set up.
