nice drop jimbo! very good write up too.

careful if you get rims with higher offset, those might rub, but you'd obviously just have to raise it up a bit and realign.

actually the coilovers are working out great, especially because i can adjust the dampening so that around town its soft, but at the track or on canyon runs, it can be very aggressive.

the rear unlike the front is only ride height adjustable, i have actually thought of replacing the rears with a set of koni adjustable ones, but you have to take them off and pull the ball heads so you can adjust them, this car is just not sut up for rear end adjustablility.

that sucks, I like how these companys advertise them as 32 way adjustable but fail to mention the rears aren't. I will just wait and see if anyone makes a rear adjustable shock, KYB AGX's wouldn't be too bad they had an external knoob on the rear shocks for the Cavalier.

iv'e had them on ther for about a month and a half, so far the ride is awesome, if you set teh dampening stiff, it can get a little bouncy at times, thats why i leave it soft for around town driving, to many potholes in los angeles.

there's a couple of vendors on this sight that carry them, one is cobalt addiction, i don't know who else, search the vendor forums, or you can e-mail next level motoring, they run out of stock on these very fast so your not gonna find them posted.
