Spring Tech Install

[MikeSS]

So I finally got my SpringTech Springs in today. I know others on here have them but I never saw a pic of them on a '03 2 Door. I must say they look really nice. The front end dropped nicely and has about a 1 inch gap between the tire and the wheel well. The rear however really dropped down (2 door alero's seem to have really high ass ends) and has about a 1/2-1 inch gap between the tire and the wheel well.

I also noticed the ride quality isn't that bad, not much worse then the stock GX springs. I'll try to get some pics up

Please do, put some pics up.

All of 'em do, but I think it looks exaggerated on the 2 doors because the car looks shorter in length.

And I know...all of the exterior dimensions are THE SAME, so it's sort of an illusion...

Yeah, pics will be up once I can get a digital cam from my buddy

Yeah tell your boy to hurry up! Curious to see. How does it ride? What size tires do you have? Im going to take a couple hundred out of my next two checks to buy some springs. And I'm still debating between spring tech and eibach.

Anybody have eibachs installed?

Rides not to bad, makes a bit of noise over really rough roads, but the handling is super smooth.... like little to no body roll now.

I have the crappy 215/60R15 but I'll have either 225/40 17 or 18's by the june meeting

I still can't decide between Spring Tech or Eibach, anyone else with input?

^^ Eibach are a waste of money.. they barely lower your car at all... you would be lucky to drop 1 inch on Eibach.. go with SpringTech or Intraxx for a drop.. or if you want to keep the "rake" look go with H&R

Congrats on the springs! Just curious, where do you here the noise from over bumps? Front or rear or both?.

[MikeSS]

Mostly back, but there is less noise each day, maybe they are settling. My mechanic said it is cause I still have the longer stock struts, but it really isn't bad at all. It is just on really big bumps, only at slower speeds (Gerrad Street in Toronto is the worst)

99 aleroboy.. i dont have springs as of yet.. give me a month and my car will look a lot different

I was gonna say... wow your car looks like it's 2" taller

[MikeSS]

My car used to be 1-2 inches higher then OLDSskool's car before, I had like a monster truck alero
