the grand am coilovers suck from what i hear. you either cant go low enough or you cant go high enough.

So they dont make em for our car? The ones I looked at went from .8" to 3" drop...that isnt enough? And if I order Grand Am Coilovers for my 04....what year grand am coilovers do i need? Same thing I would imagine...but as you can tell by my questioning...suspension is not my deal!

yep, and to have them made you are looking at more money then standard air ride system.

Hey Oldsman....how hard were they to intstall? Do they just slide on with no trouble or do you have to do some mods yourself to make em fit?

i am pretty sure there is modifications needed.

Not sure if the ones you are talking about are the ones i have seen that turns your stock struts into coilovers. if they are they require putting a threaded sleeve on and some other things.

Sound extreme might no more.
