i loved my exhaust when i did it, by far my fav mod to my car. cool thing about exhaust it that its looks and performance. than the stock alero is a 4x4 way to high, slam that bitch down.

Depends what you want. For springs, if you do it yourself, you can get 'em for around $200.00. If you can't do it yourself, figure another $100.00 or so for installation.

plus new struts if you have a lot of miles on your car, which is what, another $200?

For installation, either pick up a haynes manual or check out the how-to on this site. Then decide if you can handle it yourself.

Depending on what you get, you can see a fairly big performance increase, handling-wise. I recommend Eibachs for performance, but the lower it the least, so it depends what you want.

You don't need new struts.

Sorry, I meant to say "THEY lower it the least." As in, other springs will get you lower, but Eibachs perform the best.

k i just wanted it lowered maybe a half inch or so right in there where can i look up some of those springs at and also what type of place should i take it to have them installed cuz i dont think i will feel comfortable putting them on. knowing me ill be half way out my driveway and my tire will be still up in front. :lol:

you are going to get more than a half inch drop out of any lowering spring. i ordered mine from pfyc.com. there is a link on the aleromod homepage. pretty much any shop will put them on for you, just be sure to get quotes from a several places and obviously take the best deal. i did mine myself but i got 2 quotes, one place said $240 and the other $150.
