Personally I wouldn't even waste my money on a Cavalier, but if that's what you want then go for it. Lowering springs don't lower any car that much, but it is a decently smooth ride, because you still aren't that low at all, barely lower then stock height. If you go with a good suspension setup it will ride just fine, and you will not have to worry about blowing your stock struts eventually. If you're going to lower your car at all, or do any mods at least do it the right way. I don't know much about Cavaliers, but do some research on your own, Google is your best friend. If possible, I'd go with a Koni Yellow/Ground control setup. That's what I've always rode on and they felt great and I was slammed breaking oil pans, and it still rode like a charm. With a good suspension setup you can always adjust your suspension to the ride height you want, and how soft/stiff you want it to be. Just do some research man, it's not hard.
