cut the factory springs? i shouldnt buy lowering springs or air bags or anything like that?

if it was me i would buy aftermarket lowering spring but if you cut your own you can drop it low as you want.....

Yeah...not the smartest thing to do.

Id rather spend about $100 and get some lowering springs.

never cut ur springs your asking for trouble buy the airbags for the 1300 and put them in that way u can lower them and bring them up

jus put on very small wheels and the car will be low to the ground!

I've seen it done first hand before...

I suggest you dont make the mistake of purchasing a 4 door car in the first place, when you want a 2 door one

get coil over suspension. u can adjust it urself to how low or high u want it. who knows if they make it for a cavalier tho. why do u wana lower a cavalier anyway?

considering he posted almost 2 moths ago i bet he has choosen what he is going to do... but never cut or heat ur springs to lower... by a kit .. .get some air cylinders...

I was thinking of heating my springs until i get a coil over kit lol.

Might as well try it if you going to get a kit anyways.

We lowered my buddies lazer by heating it, it worked great. We bought some 2x6x8's put them on my buddies front bumper and i drove my car up them a little until it pushed his front down lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif it was his idea.

Then he heated them and now his car cant turn hahah

hey silica i would cut them before i heat them....... just remember if you plan to drive around lowered get drop spindles so you save your tires . they should come with a good kit
