coil overs

nixon · 03-16-2009, 02:31 AM

so yes i did use the search and all i could really get from it was that its hard to find coil overs for an alero and that i should do an air ride...well i cant afford an air ride system.

Just want something cleared up, if I can find just the adjustable coil overs for a vehicle of similar weight they should work right? Sorry but I don't know to much about suspension and all.

Coilovers for an Alero generally means custom setup, which generally means you're gonna spend over $800.

I've got coilovers from a company in montreal .... 1300$ ..... www.selexsuspension.com

the amount of money your gonna spend for a shitty coil over ride should should get air, save money and do it right the first time.

an air ride isn't exactly the right way to do it, especially from a performance standpoint.

If people are looking for coilovers to slam their rides, then yeah I'd be all about telling them to go with an airride.

But if they're looking at it from a handling standpoint, my opinion changes quickly.

my custom coilover setup would run you $3k

Lucky bastard

yea im looking more at the handling point of view, i dont care about the ride quality. I've rode in some lowered cars and know they can be quiet the rough ride. So I can see where coil overs would probably give me more stability right?

so get a set done by selex, you can't have coilover at that price anywhere else...
but another intersting option could be a set of springs with kyb AGX.... a little cheaper, but no height ajustement...
