ive got sprint springs on mine, and the drop was less than 2" i believe. also someone else mentioned they were soft and needed support...not unless they got something different than me marked "sprint", mine are firmer than stock but not so much it makes ur kidneys hurt. great ride when paired with the gr2's. |

the gr2's are slightly stiffer then stock struts. I had sprints with stock struts and it was a little saggy and bouncy. |

That's a negative on 3" 
Sprints drop 2" or even a little less, more like 1.75". They're actually rated for a 1.75" drop. They look very good and they're a little stiffer than stock. I've been on Sprints and stock struts for over 3 years and I've been very happy with them. I've never had a problem with rubbing except for a little scrape on very steep driveways and they're even good through the deep snow of Buffalo winters. Never once got stuck.
Seriously, try them. They'll look great with the new rims and the kit

I always heard Sprint was the lowest drop spring they made for the Alero.. but their site does say:
Alero 99-04
Front/Rear: 1.75/1.75
$256.50
I dunno. If someone doesn't buy these soon I might put them on.

They are the lowest drop for the Alero, which is 1.75". The only way to go lower is cut springs, custom coilovers, hydraulics, or air bags.

Eibach's are the stiffest springs for the Alero. Closest to stock ride height, yes, but nowhere near stock ride quality.

My springs got me down more than 1.75 inch At least it really looks to me.
these are CM motorsport springs, the same company that makes the sprint ones.
