Suspension upgrades?

[AleroKing]

Are there any shocks that are better than stock?

And im looking to get new springs, what would I need to adjust the height?
Im mainly looking to raise the car not lower it.

[xXManwhoreXx]

Afaik bags are the only way your going to raise the car.

[AleroKing]

I couldnt use longer springs or anything else I know bags are expensivr.

Im only looking to raise the rear btw about.2" tops.

what are some good shocks?

[kwhauck]

Why would you raise it, gonna put some ghetto hoopty rims on it.....

LOL :lol:

Seriously though.. Why raise it? When it comes to cars, lowered > lifted in performance and looks.

well he has a huge sound system in his alero. he has 2 18 inch fi btls and they weigh 100 pounds a piece. i would get some air bags.

Plus four 75 lb batteries and about 40 lbs in amps I just want it to sit level like stock, I dont want it higher than stock.

for struts go with KYB

you could use taller springs but would need same spring rate. that is going to be a trail and error. You could go with coilovers in the rear also. That maybe the cheapest and easiest way to achieve what you want.

Keep the rear like it is and just put lowering springs on the front to match it.

that same idea hit me this afternoon... depending on how much a drop you have in the rear, go with canuck springs seeing as you are looking for a 2" lift of the rear...

Tein custom makes springs i would get ahold of them

That would look nice but, I already have the rear raised a little over an inch with spring spacers because it was scraping bad, just looking to get about that extra inch raised.

I dont think id be able to get away with lowering the front because I have 20s on it now and its close on clearance.

[tw0123]

i have 20's on mine and its lowered with eibach's... only reason they rub right now is because the tire sizing is wrong... bought them used off a buick century... when i get new tires, there will be no issues

[Oldsman]

just looking to get about that extra inch raised. Thats what she said...............LOL

I recommend coilovers or air. thats your 2 best choices.
