You might want to try stiffer dampers first, before replacing everything. Just my two cents, whch might save you a few cents.
On the other hand if you're lowering it anyway..

After Market Suspension and Rims Question
Okay, I'll likely get hazed for this but I'm willing to take it haha.
I drive a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire 4 door. Its a good car no problems with it in the 20,000km's that ive driven it (its at 100,000 now) Im pretty bored with my stock rims because they're small and ugly. I also dont like how loose my suspension is. It feels like im going to roll the car at 25km/h going around a corner. I want to replace the suspension and lower it an inch and a half (not to much but enough to make a noticeable change) When i do that i want to throw on some 17 or 18" rims.
My only concern right now is when i go over a bump the entire interior of my car rattles. I've started to fix some of it and its already better, but i can imagine with a firmer suspension the car will rattle a bit more, is that the right assumption?
One of the things that I notice rattle is my manual window arm's. I thought about putting a couple of "O" rings on each on to stop the vibration but I dont know if that would work. Is there a way i can make it not rattle? I'll be purchasing some dynamat for my rear deck, i do have a sub and while it doesnt rattle a lot it does rattle enough for me to hear it.
Is there anything I can do to prevent rattle with the new suspension?
