I've done a bunch of research on coil overs and though its nice they are adjustable in height.....not worth the bone crushing feeling your going to go through while driving the sucker!!

Spilner521 02-20-2008 04:00 PM

Without getting all into the details, the primary use of coilovers is to improve handling by stiffening the suspension. Ride height adjustment is part of the equation, but not the main reason they're made. If you're going to use coilovers, the ride won't be nice and smooth like stock.

If you want to lower the car, get some lowering springs actually made for an Alero, not a set of universal "coilovers".

Mr_Reed 02-20-2008 05:18 PM

true true but with coilovers its cheaper then lowering springs

I had coilovers once. It sucked for ride. Ride height was great. I felt like I was in a mini truck riding on frame only. I went to cutting my stock springs all at the same amount and it had a better ride than my lowering springs too.

I have a set of stock springs if you want to cut em up. pm me an offer include you zip code

Yeah but they're not vehicle specific. They're just a set of generic springs on some adjustable perches, not really true coilovers. They're not going to drop right onto the stock struts with no problems, you may have to mod them to get them to fit even somewhat decently. True coilovers are close to 10 times the price of lowering springs. You get what you pay for...

Mr_Reed 02-21-2008 01:48 AM

ya true that

coil overs
 
here are some real coilovers for the aleros and grand ams http://mantapart.com/

Mr_Reed 03-09-2008 01:37 AM

sweet man thanks!

devient26 03-10-2008 02:56 PM

not a prob glad to help out..... they are the only real coil overs that i have found. they aren't cheep but then again they are custom and they are Bilstein's

Spilner521 03-10-2008 06:33 PM

..and they're from Mantapart. Good luck getting anything from them. They have a history of taking over a year to send you your parts, if you get them at all, even after you've already paid for them.

Well, the three magic letters for Mantapart are "C.O.D.". I never had any issues from them that way.

racin4JC 03-11-2008 01:48 AM

The first coilovers posted will work, I had a set similar to those for a cavalier they fit perfect. I didn't need to cut the perch but I did need to cut a couple of the threaded sleeves shorter because other wise my car would bottom out on the 4" sleeves, other than that mine rode quite nice suprisingly.

pimpalero2003 03-11-2008 01:50 AM

could just get the DZ springs there like 50-80bucks shipped
