ebay is where u could find h&r but if u buy a tower bar,sway bar and urethane bushing you could slam it if your not trying to spend a whole lot of cash get sway bar bushing kit and a cheap tower bar

H&R or Tenzo's are the lowest, but both sacrifise ride quality quite a bit.

Sportlines have the best drop to ride quality ratio though.

you will never get a good ride quality once you drop a car because chevy didnt design the car for it to be canned thats why when you decide to do a spring upgrade they reccommend you buy the supporting upgrades sway bar bushing and a tower bar but like whitessbalt said sportlines are the best desirable spring out there but they just dont give that extreme drop that alot of us want the shocks will pretty much work with any spring

Will ss/sc drop springs work on a 2.4L??

And will Eibach Sportlines or H&R Sport Springs ride okay without having to change the struts??

I am getting the ss/sc springs very soon, would they be fine with the stock ls shocks since they lower the car like... an inch and a half?

Has anyone used the "Eibach Pro Kit" springs? It's a 1.6" and 1.8" f/r drop. I've had my eye on them and was curious. I don't want to go too low though.

They don't drop the ss/sc like at all. Get sportlines, nice drop.
