Lowering springs on sedans

I'm looking for more information on what lowering springs sedan owners have. And what's best so I don't have to mess with much else just swap springs and get an alignment. Also are coups and sedan springs interchangeable. Woooooooo

Use the search or prepare to get flamed.

Yes sedan and coupes are the same, do you honestly think Chevy would re-design a suspension on an economy car for the difference in sedan and coupe?

B&G and Sportlines haven't been mentioned. Lets just throw them all out there.

Do not go with tien if you plan on using your stock struts... or FE5 struts... the ride is horrible.... and sloppy and bouncy as hell.

Maybe the question we should have asked is what are you looking for? Low or performance?

This.

H&R or B&G for low.

Powell's springs or Pedders for handling.

No Just YYZ for handling since the cost over Pedders is minimal and they last without all the issues and are better for performance. The SSC and CM springs I would say are a median between the two between all performance and just low.
