MODIFICATIONS FOR A NEWBIE.....HELP!!!

[01WHITEALERO]

DO THEY MAKE HID KIT AND/OR PROJECTOR HEADLIGHT KIT FOR OLDS ALEROS?
ALSO FULLY ADJUSTABLE COIL OVERS (DAMPENING AND RIDE HEIGHT)?
TURN SIGNAL MIRRORS?

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST SIZE WHEEL I CAN PUT ON MY CAR WITHOUT RIDING ON RUBBER BANDS THAT SNAP AT THE FIRST POT HOLE? (I CURRENTLY HAVE 19'S AND I STILL HAVE A NICE RIDE) ANDDDDDDDDD WILL STILL RIDE LIKE AN ALERO AND NOT A FORD F150 PICK UP TRUCK! :lol:

THANKS GUYS!!!!

1. Yes they make HID kits, Hella and a few others I can't remember.

2. Yes they make coilovers, talk to soundextreme

3. I think somebody has turn signal mirrors but not positive.

4. Stop at 19's you can't put 20's unless you modify the suspension.

Hope this helps

Had them for about two years now. They are motorized M3 LED Turn signal mirrors wired into the factory switch.

if you get coilovers you might be able to squeeze 20's on. MAYBE. i know 19s will fit no problem. thing with coilovers is you have no spring perch and the overall width of the suspension is smaller.

i have those but in red, and do you realize in blue how many tickets you would get?

[johny_boy32]

do they work good then silent...you dont have to adjust anything?

[johny_boy32]

nevermind...thought it was the whole mirror...my bad.

If youre lookin to get the same ride outta your car, and your intentions are simply to lower it, and not to modify it to fit 20's, then I would suggest springs over coilovers, as I have heard that coilovers are not as good for ride quality and such when it comes to lowering options. Save your money from buying 20s and do air all around, lol ;p

[sound_xtreme]

coilovers generally ride like poop. but just about any on the fly adjustable will ride much worse than loweing springs also.

lol - figured it was worth a try, come on, it WAS a valiant effort wasnt it? (dont come crying later to me when you are like, "Oh landon, I shoulda taken your advice when I wanted my car to look cool, I knew you were right about the air bags, Im sorry, I really shoulda listened to you") HAHAHAHAHA :P

[sound_xtreme]

too bad my coilovers can go lower than all of the air bags made for our cars. :blink: If the bags were better i'd probably have a set right now.

I'll just beg and you'll help me.... :P

Right?? :unsure:

[AleroSS]

Normally when a girl gets down on her knees (to beg and plead that is :P) I normally cave in, lol - And Sound - How can yours go lower than any airbag, if you could technically lay frame in an alero (couldnt you?)?

[sound_xtreme]

as far as i know the bags made for ALERO'S can't go very low. but my coilovers COULD technically go as low as a juice setup(layin out, we have no frame so ya can't really say lay frame). ya just gotta figure out how to get it off and back on the jack. lmao. I'll show you all how low they can really go in spring time.

[AleroSS]

have you looked into the new direction theyre going with in the way of airbag technology - there is a company that integerates the airbag into the strut, thus not only making it cheaper to do a setup, they now have locking devices at the bottom so that if a bag were to break while driving, the you would not bottom out and loose control, so therefore you can go for speed and show with the airbags now...

heres one link that you can see -

[sound_xtreme]

yea, they have been doin air-struts for a long time now. Silentalero had em. just bags with a strut piece in the center of them.
