My brother had some coilovers on his sunfire, RK Sport, I think. en horrible. Unbelievably bumpy ride, bottoms out everywhere. Spend money on GOOD coils or don't buy any at all.

Check out a company called Apex Suspension, not APEX'i. I through some Apex springs on my Z24 about 3 years ago and they're still great.

save your money and get some ground control coilover's, and the shocks you picked are good shocks.

Apex IS good. Althought I don't know if they make for a Cavalier because they are a european company.

all coilovers will be a rough ride but handle well and look sick!...if you go with springs you get a little more comfort, the Eibach Sportlines give a nice drop and they aren't too bad for comfort.......and dropzones are . from what I have heared. dont know from experience.

Neither.

For s sake spend some money and buy quality items... even for a J-Body.

DropZone's are the pinacle of . Lowest of the Low. Paperweights at best.

If you want to buy coilovers, which I do not suggest, spend the money on a set of Groundcontrol's.

As for Struts/shocks, Koni's (Red or Yellow, though the red are discontinued they are more then sufficient), or KGB AGX's. You do not have any other options... anything else will blow on you in a few weeks/months depending on the drop and you basically ended up wasting your cash.
