Not sure if this was gone over in the past but I can't find it using seach.
I have bought the kato body kit off andys auto sport. Has anyone bought and installed this? Was just wondering two things. What it costs to have in painted and how long it took to get. I am also looking for coil overs for the aleros. Anyone know where I can find them?
Thanks

i also got a good deal on my paint job, if you get coilover your gonna scrape all over the place, if you don't have hookups like me you are gonna pay out the ass for body work all the time, just get lowering springs.......
fitment on my kit was ok, i didn't have to be real precise though and line poop up perfectly because it was all sanded done to bare metal/fiberglass and molded together.....

^ 4 Inch Drop? Can A Alero even drop that far without serious Cornering Problems? I would go with Eibach Springs Becuase it is the least drop and the most performance you would probably have no problems with the Eibach Springs.

Sure you can drop it that much, but I'd never drive around lower than 2" lower than stock ride height. The biggest problem is the angle that excess lowering puts on the CV joints....it messes up the pinion angle to much and breaks the joint. I don't think I need to mention ground clearance.

what's a 2 inch drop look like? To me a inch is not very much but I may be wrong when it comes to this.

yes, you can somewhat, but i get a lot more looks when it is slammed down and it is a risk that i feel is worth taking.....
