ok guys and ladies i will be buying a set of drop springs next thursday and getting them installed i have a 3.4 alero with sport supenshion. i want the most drop out of springs as i can get but dont know if i should get the cheap springs or the expencive ones or ones in the middle? are the $300 springs the best and how do the cheapest springs compare? and the middle ones. i hate a flufey ride i want the stifest ride posible. and what is the benefit of puting new struts with the new springs?
ps have a 2 door and my vin and state of mich says i have a 4 door lol love the break on my insurance

Intraxs give you nice drop overall, and they are pretty stiff. When I got my Intraxs put on, I went ahead and put on new KYB GR2 struts as well. Now that's stiff. Handles great. Looks awesome too. Too bad my aftermarket wheels have like no sidewall on the tires so theres a gap again.

Sprint or SpringTech offer the most drop... and are really stiff.... should probably upgrade struts or the ride will be rough.

i was thinking of getting air instead of the springs is there a differance between them and springs? in ride and handling? also after haveing them mounted how hard would it be to do the rest of the install?

if you don`t want the stifness of the coil over but yet you want the ride quality go with spring tech i had them before i went to a coil over, and i loved the ride and the performance i got from them
you ask about air ride airride.com or chassistech.com, both companies have air ride for our cars, my suggestion to you then would be go with the compressor system from airride and the struts from both companies are bolt on replacments
the compressor system from airride.com is so simple that my 8 yr can hoook it up
i have my coil overs for sale look in the bazzar section
and air ride will be installed very shortly
