Ok So My car's lowered 2" except for the passenger side front . So Im just going all out and getting coilover's. Now I've never messed with suspension becuase i've always had truck's and a 240 with a new suspension when i got it. Well. If I run coilover's what do i need can i use them with the the shock's that are on my car now. (Not stock but like stock setup if you can understand what i mean). WHat do our car's have for stock suspension setup. Strut's? I know dumb question but I'm new to car suspension haha. So if i want to run coilovers what do i need.

correct me if im wrong but I believe that coilovers are designed to be the complete system between shocks and springs. I thought there were designed to be a balanced performance mod that not only lowers your ride but also decreases your ride bounce.

Is it just me or is this a re-post? I swear it is.

Our cars have shocks and 1g's have struts. You need to find out what springs you have currently and you need to tell us what shocks are on the car.
You have a few options but we need more information to help you choose the best ones for your car/wallet.

Also try to use a more descriptive thread title. It not only helps knowledgeable users find your thread but it is also important for archiving and searching purposes.

Depends. They have coilover sleeve kits that are just that, a spring and a sleeve for adjustment. Then you have a full coilover, like the Megan Racing setup. I have Ground Control Coilover sleeves and KYB AGX's on my AWD. Rides pretty well. I had full coilovers on my Cavalier. The difference a matched shock/spring makes... That car with full poly bushings and f/r sway bars was amazing.

Pick up a set of Megan Coilovers. Better sway bars with poly D/endlink bushings, strut bars, weight reduction. Also, remember the car only handles as good as your tires... and while you're at it, lighter wheels help reduce unsprung mass which helps a lot!
