After doing a full history review on the alero, i've come up with a list of parts that were replaced with what i'd consider less than OEM quality, and what I'd consider better than OEM.
Less than OEM quality parts...
- Ebay AC compressor from Chinaaaa. (who cares, don't use AC. i'm not fat)
- Duralast water pump. (duralast isn't bad, but it's not great...)
- Duralast gold brake pads (supposedly matches OEM, we'll see about that)
- Monroe sensatrac struts (also supposedly matches OEM, jury's still out)
- Shitty O'Reillys serpentine belt tensioner (no one else was open)
Better than OEM parts...
- SKF front hub assemblies (apparently, SKF makes hub assemblies for the Z06)
- Bosch front/rear brake rotors (fancy Deutsch shit, ach doo leiba)
- Taylor spark plug wires (thicker wire and good quality)
- Enkei PK6 17x7 wheels (dude, they're old enkeis)
- BFGoodrich g-force sport tires (235/45R17... good tire if you're not a millionaire)
- Eibach Springs (best available for the car short of custom coilovers)
- SLP exhaust system (SLP bangs your girlfriend, than slaps you in the face)
Going to Napa, gettin a new belt tensioner. Aww yeah.
You're not fat so you don't use AC? smh. Very ignorant statement right there
Also, Eibachs aren't the BEST available....nobody really knows that. H&R is pretty damn good too
