H&R Springs
I had inquired about these springs in another thread so I figured that I would start my own. I understand that mfuller is running these springs and is happy with them. Does anyone else have experience/opinions for these?
Also curious to know what is the going price for a set. I have found a set locally and offered $120. (I don't really have the cash but the price seems right).

The price seems fair. I havn't heard much about this brand in a while, but a few years ago they were pretty big. Most ppl now go with Eibach, Intrax, or DropZone (or any of their many brand names).

They are made in Germany. They are not listed for the alero. The model number is 50739 listed for the grand am. I have seen them listed for $213US new

Purchased these last Saturday. I had my sister pick them up because it was about 2 hours closer to her place.

...My sister dropped off the springs Sunday. I put them in yesterday. I took plenty of photos that I will post when I have more time. I still have to do an alignment shortly. I was going to give the H&R's a couple of days to set in first.  |

Definite increase in performance! I'll post pics to illustrate why.. when I removed the struts i found that both of the front springs had cracked! both near the top of the coil, but it definitely came as a surprise. ...almost as if the alero was a little too anxious to lower itself! I still have some work to do with the steering though

And here's another photo..
It split pretty good. I have never encountered this before..?
...I guess it was a good time for new springs though.. gonna need the struts too...

I have a set of new Intrax springs in the Classifieds for cheap if anyone is still looking.

Yup, both fronts were rusted pretty bad, and both fronts cracked. 
It explained the horrible body roll, and desire for performance springs. |
