1.5-2inch Drop!

[alerokid15]

As you guys can see, i have 20's on my alero and plan to downsize later but i was looking to drop my car about 2 inches and was wondering what are the best lowering springs and where do i get them from?
-thanks

I believe Intrax gives a 2.2 inch drop, but IDK where to get them

[alerokid15]

Sprint is supposed to give 1.75, and you can actually still find them..

[alerokid15]

if you want to go lower, check out sunfire's and cavi's or stuff for grand am's

[alerokid15]

Grand ams, yes. J-bodies (cav and sunfire) no.

H&R drops lower than Intrax, i know from experience.

white, I have looked a the sunfire and cavi's kits their the exact same as the one for the alero heck even the rear mounts have the same part # I havent checked for the front

Anyone know anything about this? I can imagine the weight differences in the cars wouldbe really different so rebound would be off etc.

However they do make full coilovers for cavis so someone get in here who knows

Bump for answer on cavi suspention.

[robalero]

ill get the part #'s for the mounts if the mounts are the same the springs are the same. ill also get the strut part #'s too

[robalero]

well you know what, as much as the springs look identical, have the same mounts and everything esle the actual struts are two different part #'s

and the part #'s for the springs in the front from napa is not the same either so its either get them and try it OR ill eat my words and say im wrong

[xXManwhoreXx]

Buy them for me and I will try it

[Philbar71]

How could they be the same? J-bodys weigh like 400 pounds less than N-bodys... so the spring rates must be different, right?!

[robalero]

springs are springs, thats why coil over's are mostly universal for any car ( not all ) like the cheap $40 ebay ones. they j-body's springs look identical to what I have on my alero from the factory ones to the aftermarket ones I do know as a fact the front struts are the same but the rears are much longer then our cars

Umm no... You are so incredibly incorrect I just lost faith in the world. Im going to just let you reflect on what you just said

[robalero]

if you bought coil over's off ebay for $40 that say they are universal ( which I don't recommend anyways coil-overs are crap ) they are designed to fit on almost anything. a lot of springs are almost all identical from one brand of vehicle, so lets say you get all gm's if they have a similar suspension setup its almost garunteed the springs are the same

[xXManwhoreXx]

Uhh no grand prix springs are different they might look the same but they have different tensile strengths
