Question?? I was thinkin about gettin air-- what kits work best i hear taht the grand ams work bolt on or none???? I need help with this and who tyo get it from also what about other cars that work with the aleros this is my first alero.... I know about cavaliers but not this... Please help :D :thumbsup:

[vodkaslut85]

basically anyting bolt on for the GA and GAGT will fit either seamlessly or with just a little modding. The one problem with air ride is if you bring the wheels in too close to the body, in the back, the door jam (hinge thing) stops the wheels from comming up any higher so you have to relocate them or re-do your entire door setup. otherwise, if your willing to pay for it, air ride has a system for our cars and theres annother website that I'll find for you that I was looking at before.

air ride technologies has a great kit for the alero


grand am sutff will bolt up the the alero's, we have identical chassis's

[queen_b]

for the kit from the grandam is there ne moddin to it that i would have to do
>>>> are they bags or cyls.. so just get the whole kit for the gam?? no extras ...

[Silentalero]

bags or cylinders its up to you really...no nothing to modify

[queen_b]

which are better for this car.... i know cyls are good sometimes
bags tend to blow sometimes if not careful

[belowu]

dont get cylinders eespically for aleros since there mac strutted cars. get teh strut bags. but i wouldnt even get those i woudl get hydros they are teh best for mac strutted cars

one of the best kits i have worked with
everything is plug and play with excption of you have to ground it but that`s it
the struts are bolt on and are even adjustable meaning you can give a soft or firm ride
they are expensive but worth every penny you spend
trust me buy that kit iam buyin it for my self and have installed their kits in the past AIR RIDE!!!!

[Silentalero]

Yea he is right, for adjustable suspentions on mcpherson strut cars hydros are the bet but also more expensive...I had air before and had problems with it so i went juice instead. Bags are the better option and are your safest because if something goes wrong your car isnt laying frame and uable to move...

just whatever you do, do NOT buy anything from Chassistech aka AIM industries....

[racin4JC]

What is wrong with AIM? Just wondering I am also thinking of getting air ride!

[Silentalero]

I had their best kit...they suck

compressor kept popping the solonoid...
the tank rusts from the inside out..
Their fitting are the cheapest thing man have ever made (cheap plastic snap in fittings)...
Their valves screwed up...

list goes on.

[Sportalero]

Hey, Si, do you have a link to the webpage, or better yet, to the exact kit that you are referring to

[bdyman]

again here is the link
http://airride.com/productinfo/airstrut.asp
like iam sayin the best around
all plug and play no cunfusion in wiring
they have the best products around!!!!!!
costly but this is your suspension you screwing with!!!!! do not be cheap on the suspension
c`mon people i used them before great great product

[Silentalero]

/\

[queen_b]

cant afford the struts that are on airride ne more options

[queen_b]

i have about 1500... i saw one for less than that for the whole kit............ but dont remember where....

[bdyman]

[queen_b]

ok so i can go on any website and jut look for the kit for the grand am up to 03 casue so far i cant find ne thing for 04 i was goin to order my compressor and lines first.. and the tank but as far as bags or cyls i was goin to order last--- goin to piece by piece ya know... i want the tank and compressor chrome u know
i just need to know which would be better my ex has a thunderbird taht he did and he has cyls and they dont give him ne probs his friends have bags and they are replacing them like its cool cause they bust......so im thinkin about cys mcpherson struts are tooooooooooooo expensive right now.. casue i was aslo goin to get those for the cavay when i had it...but ouch.....

[Silentalero]

Ok one thing robbie told me that actually stuck in my head is this

Be cheap with other things in your car but NOT YOUR SUSPENTION because it could mean your life. But its your call girly

[belowu]

k i consider myself a knoledable air ride man probably more knoledagable then you guys and i woudl not buy a thing from AIM at all. everythign of theres sucks. go with vair for compressors get a nice coated tank inside and out and get some smc parker or gc valves and go to ART or ALC for some struts

[sound_xtreme]

yea suspension could mean your life man. whatever you do, dont go cheap and have it done right.

[Silentalero]

/\ exactly robbie said that one time and it always stuck in my head.

aim sucks..every place you goto will tell you the same thing. they are like the apc of air

[belowu]

i could build you a rear kit for your car if your interested

[AleroSS]
