Ok I just found a set of eibach sportline lowering springs in my garage. They are for a sunfire/cavalier. This is the stupid part... I know the parts numbers are different according to eibach and is shows only the pro kit fits the alero. Anyway I could get the sportline kit on my car with or wothout modifing it? Or is it my luck to find something I want and cant have? Please let me know! Thanks boys and girls!

take some measurements and we'll see.
Oh, and post how big the springs are too. ;)
seriously, take some pictures and accompany them with dimensions such as height and diameter.

Ok did a bit of measuring, but didn't get pics yet... forgot the camera inthe house and Im out of breath at the moment.
the fronts are:
11.5 inches in length
6" across one of the ends and 4.5-5 on the other
1.7 drop
the rears are:
13.5" in length
5" across either end
2.3 drop
When I catch my breath I'll run back out to the garage and take pics.

they wont fit.
even if they did the spring rates are different between nbodys and jbodys so i still wouldnt run them.

Yeah J"s and N's suspensions are different.
I'd say put them up on eBay, and use the money to buy the Eibach's for the Alero

if u do indeed get lowering springs for your car get intraxx

^ I would have gotten them, but too low for the crappy roads around here, but that is only one thing to look at.
I believe Intraxx are more for looks and Eibach's are more for performance, but lowering a car, no matter what, changes the handling.
Get those camber bolts from PFYC, they work good! http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.mv?Scre...ory_Code=ALSUSP (http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PFYC&Product_Code=GN4009&Product_Count=10&Category_Code=ALSUSP)

camber bolts are about the biggest ripoff for our car. out suspension is extremely adjustable. noo need for those bolts whatsoever
