Lowering Springs

TwistedDreams · 05-08-2005, 10:05 AM

Im gonna be buysing some lowering coils for the Alero but I dont know how low I should do is a 2.25 drop to low or not low enough? Just let me know your opinions.

And also im not sure what mod should be doing next after lowering it so if you have a preference just let me know cuz im not to sure.

BTW right not my Alero is Stock to the bone.

2.25 is plenty low for daily driving and i dont think you will even be able to get that low with just drop springs. after lowering i would do tint.

tint it next like ^ he said.

And 2.25 is low enough, but like he said as well, you would have troubles getting that low with just springs. You could go adjustable, like coilovers, hydraulics, or bags but that gets pricey.

I agree with the above...you can get 1.5 or....maybe 2.....

get ahold of me and ill try to get ya the springs cheaper...

I say paint some trim parts... i hate window tint. the way i see it you spend alot of money to make your interior look good and then you tint the windows so no one can see it. Pluse you dont see tinted windows in a magazine.

I tinted my windows at automotive necessities they are @ 32 % because that is the darkest you can get in georgia they said, it cost 165 big ones. Used my whole tax return check on it so what else you got for me?

yeah but u hear about tintin in songs... like still tippin by mike jones and paul wall and slim thug

"5% tint so you cant see in my windows" and 50 cent sings about them alot.. and i think tint would be the next good thing

well sprint seems to have the lowwest drop for aleros, will give you a 2" drop. if you live in somewhere that is snows than 2" will be too much and your car will drag snow around in which case i would recoomend eibach for a 1.5" drop or so. if you get sprint springs your gonna want new struts, they wear hard on your stock ones, can get a front set for like 75 and a rear set for like 70 on suspensionmax. hope you can get them on without going to a shop because they will charge about 250$ for installation and re-allignment.

everything I do is going to be professionally put on I know that will be expensive but fixing broke car parts will be more expensive

Ya but they are famous and get bugged by alot by fans... Look in just about any mag and find a car with tint. Very few.. I think tint is played out..

I like a bit of the silvery, mirror-like tint, personally. Also, i dont like lowering aleros, it ruins that bit of aggressive stance they posess in my opinion. I say leave that to the Hondas! But whatever you do, good luck with it!

hey, did you even get your springs yet? don't be giving testimonial on things you've read.
and those numbers for sets of struts is way too darn low,bud.

you're also gonna drag snow if you drive an SUV in the winter anyway. Might as well lower the Alero to the ground!
