I have an 02 Alero 2.2 Eco 'Coupe'. I am getting new struts very very soon, and i want to lower it. im think Eibach springs. But do they sell a coilover kit for the alero, or could i get one for like a Honda or cavy and custom the mounts?

Ive searched on google but havent found anything more than springs

nobody makes coilovers specifically for the Alero who I've ever heard of

maybe you could get some from another vehicle to work? idk

i had a custom made set, let me tell ya it was the worst ride i have ever encountered, oldsman has a video of me in my car, i heard every bump, felt every little crack in the road, it was so bad i wanted to cut my self to stop the pain
oldsman has the set that came off the osv alero, and matt fuller was on a set as well
dont know how matts rode but i do know how scots rides and its like your on train tracks its awesome ride
a while back mantapart made a set for i think 1,400 but if you want to get low, and have the performance why not go air ride best of both worlds

why would air ride be gay??? have you ever been in a car on air ride??? it handles better then a lowering spring, and as good as coil overs, its gay becasue why???? is it gay becasue you cant do the install??? is it gay becasue you cant afford it?? is it gay becasue its not a cool import thing???
this blows my mind, lol most guys on air like my self will pull up to a lowered car or some other "cool" car and hit the switch every time us gay guys on air will get the crowd over to our cars faster then some car with neon lights and a painted interior
so why is it gay??

seriously how can you think air ride is gay?

you can adjust your ride height whenever and how much you want. drop it when you park, low when you drive, see a steep driveway or bump raise it up 4x4 lol

ooooh booy. go get midol for your pms and come back after a week.

i dont have to explain my reasons, i think its gay, just like i think the razzi kit is gay. to each his own.

besides its an alero, not really a great tuner, yea i own one, and no im not afraid to say it is one of the worst cars to tune, you all are just wasting your money.

and for your info, i could easily do the install, and if i really wanted it, id have the money to buy it. like i said its gay so i wouldnt waste my time

yes everyone is entitled to their own opinion. yes some people dont like the same shit. yes you saying that air ride is gay in fact means you like penis.

and hahaha waht did u hope to accomplish by insulting the aleromod community? you would think eventually wed stop getting these. ok. since u game bdyman medical advice ima give you some. go chug 2 bottles of draino and stfu.

he can say what he wants too i dont care, again air ride kicks ass, how am i and the rest of the people on this board, and other n-body site wasting money???
the grand am is the same car so is the malibu, and there are allot of great looking cars on air ride, go tell the big names like troy tripanier/chip foose/ r.i.p boyd coddington/ just to name a few all those guys use air ride, when my car sells i will get all the money i have invested back to me just like every one else will,

i think ya need to be in a car on air ride and maybe it will change your mind, and your will see it has the best of both worlds, handling/performance/ and adjustablity at a fingers touch
how is it gay??

07-05-2008, 02:37 PM
idk im no frickin genius but, u say its dumb to waste money on an alero.. "THEN WTF ARE U BUYING SPRINGS 4!!" go get a civic if u cant handle the challange of an alero, its not a cookie cutter car like u want it to be!! It takes dedication man!!


P.S. air ride is the shyt, have fun with ur coilovers, and tell me how drivin in any old dowtown area is

02AleroEco, I really do believe what bdyman said about you not liking air ride cuz you can't install/ afford it. You are saying you want to lower your alero, yet you claim air ride is gay. That is really ignorant to say from your behalf because air ride will give you the drop you want, without the frustration of hitting pot holes or scraping on speed bumps.

As for Aleros not being good tuners, why wouldn't they? The all aluminum dohc ecotec engine makes equal horsepower to my 85 5.0L V8 engine, yet the ecotec is in a car that is way lighter. I have actually tied up to a V6 mustang with dual exhaust, MSD, and Cai, on my stock ecotec. Also, note that stock, the ecotec is the engine that makes least horsepower of the 3 engines available on the Alero. So, why do you think the Alero isnt a good tuner?

02AleroEco
07-05-2008, 02:52 PM

I dont think the alero is a good tuner, simply because its an oldsmobile. oldsmobile was never a good company, yea the cars were affordable, but not without all sorts of problems

Valley olds
07-05-2008, 03:02 PM
Well, I guess everyone does have different opinions. Personally, I like oldsmobile because it offers the best of both worlds. The alero for example, has a bit of a performance looking exterior, while the interior (especially if equipped with leather) looks luxurious. As for problems, I dont see why oldsmobile would have more problems than a Buick, Pontiac, or Chevy since they share the same engine and drivetrain (with some minor changes). Also, if something does go wrong, parts for a GM are way cheaper than parts for an import. Also, oldies oldsmobile are very reliable. Some came equipped with forged cranks. The connecting rods were forged as well.

they were around before ford and chevy how can u say they wont a good company. they did have a decent 350 rocket engine. the olds 455 is still an engine people are looking for til this day. they produced 35.2 million cars over 107 years. they were among the oldest in the world, after Daimler and Peugeot. all cars have their own unique problems. some have rust problems like most fords do. some have electrical problem that lead to engine fires. some have oil leak problems like most of gm 3800 engines do. some have timing belt/chain problems.

There are some pretty quick aleros and ga's out there that will beg to differ.

oh yes nick is right especially the cars blown, or turbo, and the ecotec makes allot of power just ask john lingenfelter, well hes dead but he made over 1,000 with the ecotec

Explain, both serves differing purpose. I wouldn't recommend airbag on the track but airbag do take the cake in show.

im still standing by that i dont like it. and i am going to custom fab the coilovers.

So call me gay, but in all fairness someone who(not naming names) gets this defensive over a piece of equipment, must have something wrong, or just likes to try and be tough online, because he knows that he cant be seen. but its really not a show, so stop trying to prove something, because it really annoying, and it seems on this bored its always the same person who trys to be that one tough one

07-07-2008, 11:49 PM
hmmm....one of the issue I thought about air ride system was they was not as good in performance...so is the system that good...cause is was gonna spend 500 bones on a strut and lowering spring set up but if the air ride gonna give me a performance ill just save for that

You just dont think this is a good tuner because it wasnt in any fancy little racing movie you saw. The point of tunning/customizing your car is making it unique. You clearly know nothing about aleros and what they can be.

exactly, we all have different opinions, i dont like bags, and thats simply that

Thats because you like teabags on your face. stfu

Over all it comes down to one thing,

Personal prefrence. I love air ride, but i also wish there was a nicely made, decently affordable coil over as well, just for diffrent options.

I do have to say, if you have such a bad taste about olds, why do you own one. For the cost of the alero, you could scoop uo a civic, integra or accord and have a wider choice in parts. The alero may not have vast amount of parts, but it does provide a unique platform to work off, and in the end customizing cars is all about one thing.

Setting yourself out from the rest of the pack............

live above the norm my friend.

live above the norm my friend.

The only reason i got an alero, was because at the time, i didnt have alot of money, and it was a nice first car.. at first i like it, but itve had nothing but problems with it. maybe im the unlucky one..

And im sure i probably could have gotten a civic. but i just dislike hondas.

But all teh bull aside. im gonna wait on lowering, just cuz of pot holes n shit.. but for the Stuts. Since its FWD, i plan on getting Monroe Sensa-trak, for the front, and gas-matic in the back.

07-08-2008, 05:28 PM
First you said you want to lower, now you say you going to wait, what answer are you looking for? You haven't search hard enough yet if, you think there are no support for aleros. There are support, it just time consuming and very difficult but the support is there.

bdyman how much does the compressor and all the other stuff weigh? I thought my car handled well until I rode in Jordan's bagged alero, my only concern would be added weight in the trunk to haul around. That and the fact that I can't afford it nor could I justify it.

Whatever you are trying to prove or whoever your trying to impress. but hears some news, it isnt impressing me, and i bet not many other ppl

so you can go on and on, and again i dont care, so what if i dont know the name of a specific part.. i dont like working on suspension related items anyway, only body work, and sound, and that type of stuff.

When did i ever mention sanding fiberglass???????? and i have never fixed or replaced my roof, or welded.. ive fixed my frontend.

and i could careless if you have pics.. im not going to reduce myself to some ass like you, just cuz you think you know it all... i know there is shit i dont know, and im not afraid to admit it. and someone like you isnt gonna try and show me up, just cuz i simply asked a question. and if you dont like me for thinking airride is gay, good for you, i couldnt give two shits what you think of me, if you dont like me, w/e ive got nothing to loose by it

U must have not read this... so yea i dont know how to fix the roof, or weld..
So take this whole thread and shove it. im not trying to impress anyone, and most certaintly not you.

So you can say what you want. you can make me look like an idiot all you want. i dont care.

how can u know how to do body work and not know how to weld? WTF, and alot of bodywork has to do with suspension also, at my work (its mechanical and collision) if we even touch a wheel on a collision car we have to do an alignment, also u say u replaced ur front end.. putting a bumper on IS NOT bodywork, it takes no skill really, now try having to patch a bumper, or replace a quarter panel or mud or paint, i can go on and on.. just click on my profile and look at my profile pic and tell me u can do that... just got sick of this kid talkin like he knows and then backing out of it, "I WANT SUSPENSION TO LOWER MY ALERO" to "ALEROS ARE DUMB TO MOD IM NOT GONNA DO" and "I CAN DO BODYWORK" to "I CANT WELD" what the crap!! :lol:

im starting to have fun..... i never said i knew it all.. and yes you can read, i did replace my frontend.. and not shit if you touch a wheel in repair it needs to be aligned. how is putting on a bumper not body work..

w/e.. its fun, but im done with all of this... haha it was amazingly fun to do this.. i would never lower my car, just cuz how much my roads suck in my state.. and if i did, i would indeed want control of the height. and yes that would mean airride. haha airride is pretty sick. i just wanted to cause trouble and see some reactions.. thanks for playing along.

and "ALEROS ARE DUMB TO MOD IM NOT GONNA DO", was part of it.. aleros are probably the cars with the cheapest kit to put on it, in terms of price. that ive seen. and if they would have put the OSV into production i would get one.
The car as a whole has a very nice shape. the wing is nice, but id like a little more if it was a bit higher. the only comlaint on the car i have is the bad gas mileage that im getting with it

and in terms of kitting and lowering, i dont think anyone can go wrong with alpine white body, and powder black rims, or powder gold.

do i see a fellow body man in the mists????, hes right stock boy, my 12 yr old can put my bumper back on lol and putting a bumper on or a headlight mount panle does not make you a body man or can you say you do body work, you wouldnt last a week in this trade working in the heat, welding when its 95 out, slinging bondo and sanding for days on end,
so no you cant say i do body work, when you work with high strenght steel on bmws or mercedes or subaru, when you put a 1/4 or a rear body panle on those cars then you can say i do body work
so dont come in this forum screaming you do something but your cluless about cars and the automotive field
so go to isle 6 and re stock the baby food, until then your my bitch

and i beg to differ about not lasting in the heat.. i do construction aswell so i know all about working in heat. so dont think i dont.

And if i stock that baby food, r u gonna come buy it so you can eat it for dinner? or am i just gonna b wastin my time

You already look dumb enough, bdyman made you look stupid. So just STOP POSTING HERE SO THIS THREAD CAN DIE. cause nobody wants to see you argue like a little girl.

I strongly recommend you consider this when dealing with Mantapart. It a long wait. I read all the reviews and their parts are quality, but the wait is incredibly long. Someone reviewed it took nearly 9 months before they saw anything. I'm waiting on my 3rd month now.

But according to Bill, he uses Bilstein dampers, comes with a lifetime warranty and $250.00 plus shipping to rebuild them.

lol the reason why you arent a body man for replacing your front bumper is because its 2 push pins and 12 screws....sit and sand something for hundreds of hours because you are dedicated to what you want your car to look like then you can say that you are a bodyman.

lol, holy fuckin shit,i think its the other way around, you should be no where near a car, if your asking about lowering springs, and posting what is that rod thingy, ummmmm ya and askin the if the 4 banger gauges are different then the v6, wow!!!! you need to stay far away from a car
just stay in isle 8 and clean up puke

02AleroEco
07-22-2008, 08:46 AM
so me asking about lowering springs and coilovers means i cant be near a car.
im sorry that i was curious if anyone had done it, and that i didnt want to go through the trouble for it not to work. acually no im not sorry i was curious, there is nothing that says i cant as for advice abotu a car..
So can you sit and say that you have NEVER ONCE asked for advice in terms of your car?

And thanks to everyone who gave me an answer an help, expect for bdyman.. Hes not worthy of a thnaks from me

And if you have, just sit down and shut up
