It really depends on how low you want to go. Intrax and ST will take you the farthest...Eibach are decent for a little drop. my buddy is also in NJ with intrax and he has no issues with snow/potholes, etc

I have dropzone springs for a malibu. they give you quite a bit of drop and the ride is good a little stiff. I have bottomed out a few times but just have to watch where I drive.

How much did the dropzone's run for you?
Do they mount on correctly or do you have to do some work to get them on?

I got em for $52 new off ebay . the guy had em listed wrong and I found em and won them for $12 and $40 shipping. they run around $120 to $160 (shipped). I got lucky. they fit with no mods they lower an alero more because the springs for a malibu are shorter i beleive.

good price here $99.99 + shipping (DZ-SP3300)

I have that "lower in the rear" look too and I don't like it

Plus it looks like somebody got a new windshield

i have sprint, which i believe r the same as springtech, and another brand. decent drop, stiffer ride, but my fiance hasnt even noticed that its lowered so i guess not too bad. rear looks about 1/2 to 3/4 inch lower than the front. got a couple pics in a thread somewhere.

I hated the lower rear that results from most aftermarket springs for the Alero....that's why I use H&R springs.

Damn lucky.
I found that same site when I searched after reading the first post haha. I know others don't like it but I prefer to have the back that low. I hate it when it has that "lifted in the rear" kinda look. But hey that's just me.

I have intrax springs, have had them since like 04 I think, and they're great. Nice ride, stiffer than stock but not painful. Handles a lot better.

I got DropZone springs at http://www.madracingconcepts.com/Springs/springs.htm
Cost me $89 w/ free shipping as of a week ago.

The rear did drop lower then I expected, but not enough to bother me.
