Struts
I was looking at lowing my cavi and I was figuring out how much everything was going to cost...daaaang. One quick question for you guys, If I buy struts and lowing springs or coilovers will I be able to put them on myself? Somebody I kno says he was going to lower his cavalier but he says you need to cut metal and everything to put the struts in so you need to get it done professionally. What do you all need to do to put those things on? Thanks

Re: Struts
You can do anything yourself. But yeah, that guy probably cut the springs, people who do that generally hold hands with other guys.

If it were me i'd go with KYB AGX struts and Eibach prokit springs. Forget dropzone. CRJ had the dropzone springs and the ride was terrible. He runs the AGX/Prokit combo now, so I'm sure he'll back that setup!

Re: Struts
Our cars are probably the easyist to do suspensions with. Having the soild trailing arm is nice in a way, makes the rear extremley easy to replace everything. Only tools you'll really need is a good metric socket/wrench set. Smallest you'll need should be 10mm, and largest will be 22mm with a few inbetween there. On the prokit/agx combo.... good stuff.
.... and just because I am a photo needing person, I like to do the same.  front wheel..  Rear wheel..  stock...yucky...
