j-body...

i know some parts used on j-bodies (cavaliers sunfires..) can be used on our cars, just wondering if suspension parts (springs, strut bars etc..) can be interchanged. seen a lot more for those cars than aleros, and seem to be cheaper too.

alerored04 is an unknown quantity at this point
Strut bars from a 93-97 will work but they need to be run upside down so the hood can shut. Other suspension components like coilovers might work but not properly since the vehicle weight is so much different. Springs and struts will not work.

Check ebay for Spring tech ones, they can usually be had pretty cheap.

You think the tubular control arms are better than the aluminum ones?
