where can you get coilovers for the alero?
 
been looking on ebay cant find any for the nbody. didnt someone make them? and will j body coilovers work?

bdyman 12-16-2007 12:10 PM

struts for j-body and n-bodies are completely different
talk to joel sound extreme, he used to make them, a few members were on them i was one of them, it was the most bone shattering ride in my life, handled great but due to the way i had to make the mounting plate work to fit the coilover constant noise and the bone, shake my teeth loose of a ride i was glad to see them go

bdyman 12-16-2007 12:15 PM





that was almost slammed, looked great but never again

pimpalero2003 12-16-2007 02:16 PM

i read something from back in the day when joel was going to make these i found on google. but there was a person on ebay that had a kit.same guy that offered the clear headlight for 400 bucks.
i know he has a white hoe with the aas and stellies last i saw

pimpalero2003 12-16-2007 02:18 PM

and i quess my car would look lower since i have a certin bodykit

Satsuriku 12-16-2007 02:22 PM

looks great but if the ride is as stiff as bdyman says, then no thanks! and since my car is a daily driver, and the winters here kinda suck, i dont think my car would last a full winter

pimpalero2003 12-16-2007 02:25 PM

that y before winter u move them up to no drop most coilovers drop 0-4in

Gr1m 12-16-2007 04:06 PM

ride is still going be the shittiest thing you've ever felt in your life, friend had them in is cavy and its like riding around on 4 poles

pimpalero2003 12-16-2007 04:50 PM

hahaha

Oldsman 12-16-2007 06:41 PM

hey coilovers are stiff but bdyman had too light of springs so it got very bouncy.

mine are stiff has hell but damn does it handle.

pimpalero2003 12-16-2007 06:52 PM

where did u get them?

Gr1m 12-16-2007 07:04 PM

pimpalero2003 12-16-2007 07:09 PM

bdyman 12-16-2007 09:46 PM

riding on 4 poles is an understatment, i think scot has the video of me in my car coming back from lansing, after i sold those the guy i sold them to did the same thing i did and sold them
right after i bought air ride, and yes it does go to ride height, i drove all winter at a 2 ` drop no problems at all
i really would not do coil overs, i would do air ride

pimpalero2003 12-16-2007 10:16 PM

but air doesnt go up back to stock height thats what richie said

ok ill help you out, go and look for coilovers for a dodge stealth ( yes a dodge stealth ) or a 3000gt i did my homework cause no one makes them for our car besides i belive groundcontrol , i also know that in europe bilstein made a full adjustable coilover suspencion for the n body but this was like back in late 2000 and i cant find them anywhere now but im still looking for them. Anyways yeah get the dodge stealth springs and youll be happy the car rides very nice and the struts dont bottom out either.

this is what they look like, they dont make no noice or anything at all when you install them.......they work damn good thats all i have to say so far 2 years with no problems or complints at all.



How did i find this out was that eibach srings were 300 plus dollars and it only lowered so i want it adjustable springs so i started looking at the weight of my car and comparing them to those cars that had coilovers availible and came to find out that the stealth was like close to 400 pound more than my car so i went to the autopart store and asked for a strut for a stealth to see the thicknes of the shock it self, all matched perfect. The only thing you have to do is remove the plastic piece thats on the strut rod (you will now what im talking about when you take the srings of your car) other than that its just common sence after that on how to install them.

Another cool thing you can do with the coilovers is that you can cut the old piece where the old sring used to sit and you can put up to almost a 10 inch wide wheel, thats what im doing to mine but im doing 20x9....:coolio: like the bottom pic .... so far so good i hope everything works for me cause i really like the look of this car like this



the wheels that i have on my car here were 18x8 and they were about a almost a quater inch from hitting that plate on the strut and the tires were 225 40 18



this one was with 20x8


well good luck and i hope this helped you out.
