...Strut tower braces and i know most parts like this work for both grand ams and aleros. So question is, will they work on my 03' alero ?

Let me know! thanks!

are you sure?!

They will definitely work. You basically can't get Alero strut bars anymore and people have been getting those instead. Those will work 100%.

Hmmmm, $20 for a set of front and rear tower braces. I wonder about the quality. My tower braces were $70 each.

Anything other than body parts, PCM, and dash parts WILL fit the Alero and Malibu as well. The transmission from a GAGT will not work without a reprogram

awesome well i found those the cheapest and figured they would work. I'm not goin for pure performance just something that will help out a lil bit. there is that same style from other sellers that are more expensive. looking at getting just simple lowering springs for a light lower like 1.5 to maybe 2 inches. i did find these tho but dont know if they would work ( or exactly how they work) and what else i would need with em?>

so got the strut tower bar on and even for a $30 bar it sure makes a good difference! now just to lower it...looking at just simple springs. do i need anything else or am i cool if i just get the springs?

You can go as far as you want when it comes to suspension work. Sway bars, struts, poly bushings, aluminum front lower control arm from an older n body. All depends on how much $$$ you have. If you are replacing the springs, I think you should replace the struts as well once you are there.

Ripped off.

Shipping's $20 so they make up for it there. $30 shipped each for the bars equates to maybe $22 each for the part. Still, that minimally covers the cost of parts... weird to sell it at that profit margin.
