Lowering Height

[ScotiaAleroKing]

Hey Guys and Gals,

Got a small Q for you all, Looking to lowering my alero and Im gonna get lowering springs and sport struts so on.....anyway big Question is if I drop her down will I have problems with my stock rims and tires if I put them back on turning or hitting bumps? anybody got pics of there lower dropped with stock rims and tires??? PLEASE it would be great to see. Thanks

I lowered mine with stock rims and tires, there were no problems, though I guess it depends on how far you plan to drop it. sorry though no pics, car was totaled too soon after.

[alerored04]

you will have no issues with stock wheels and tires. As for the pics imagine a stock alero that doesnt look like a 4x4.

I droped mine the wrong way, 3" drop with 18 inch rims and I dont have problems. I just love the drop looked but soon I'll do it the right way and get the springs and change out my struts.

You can't lower your alero, because so far i think i'm the only one in town with a lowered alero.. haha j/k

A lil bit of fyi homie, you cut ur springs huh? I did the same but its just a temporary fix, I left mine on for a good 6 months and it fucked up everything. Had to replace all of my suspension pieces so as someone who has had this happen to myself, Id go buy some springs asap homie

[MixtapeMessiah]

I also have sprint lowering springs with kyb gr-2 struts, rides a bit rough but I got used to it. Also sprint and springtech lower it the most and as for eibachs are the least

[whiteliquid]

actually man im on DZ's and the site says 1.75 but im pretty sure its more like 2.25 or more....cuz i sat by an alero on sprints the other day and i was lower...

(same engine both sedan and everything)

[strtrydr]

my Intrax's came out the same way ... Intrax are supposed to be 1.75" but mine settled to almost 2"

[myowneq]

Info on Eibachs are .75 in drop on the front and 1.25 on the back. Not much on those.

wow sat i love your car.. i have a white alero but its a 2 door.. i havent lowered them yet or gotten springs.. (the pic in my sig is what it will look like as soon as my next pay check) anyways.. this q is for all.. can you paint the stock rear views or do i just need to buy new white ones

[strtrydr]

IIRC ... they all come black unless the option was selected for the painted mirrors or they were aftermarket painted with the car.

[TheMeaningOfLife]

Leave them black because then they dont look as HUGE. That or get grand am twin posts and paint them white.

[whiteliquid]

I actually just got out of the paint booth ....I'll post up pics of my white 4door lowered with dz and white gagt mirrors wednesday

OH and Sat your car is clean man....pull of that door trim and it will be hot

actually all gls came with painted mirrors.

the were optional on lower models but you have to order the car with them

[strtrydr]

ah ... didn't know that!

[ScotiaAleroKing]

Thanks for the info guys think Im going to pick up some springs for the Alero haha

[whiteliquid]

[Gr1m]

my springtech were facking garbage and almost dropped the car over 3 inches in the rear, with stock bumper the rear tire was getting tucked in, rofl that facked my body kit up real nicely before the air ride
