      after a year or so they tend to fall out but like i said they are cheap they are marketed for old cars with saggy suspensions if you are trying to find them

      i need a shaking head smilie for this.....if your system is so heavy that it causes the back end of the car to lower and the front lift up, then get a smaller system, or lighter components

      The Aveo's usually sit like that with a full tank of gas, the rear springs are just to weak.

      Just an update. I ordered the Eibachs, and they should be getting here in the next couple days. I kind of said to hell with the rubber spacers.

      A couple questions. I think I read somewhere on here that if you do it right, just replacing the springs won't cause the need for an alignment? And I know I had another question, but I can't remember....

      If there are any tips, I'd definitely appreciate them, thanks!
