99Alero_Boy Gettin' there
custom coilovers, its low!!

finally had some time to do a little swap, obviously the front isn't down because there is no motor, I already can barely get my hand in there and I could (if there was room) go down another 3 inches. I will do final height adjustment with a motor/5speed in and the 255s on......

Part of the problem is without being a member of aleromod forum we can not access the pics.

My Honda has Coil overs it works very well.

for the GA I got lowering springs and struts if I had more money I would have gotten the coil overs I love them on the honda.

For all of you that dont want to lower because of winter weather take a look





this is way lower then most GA's would go and it can be driven just fine, some care is required, and it really sucks when chunks of snow or ice come off another car and are sitting in the road they tend to scrape the bottom.

The snow is good for one thing, with nothing to do outside you tend to keep warm with your girl..

I didn't even know a company made coilovers for the GA or alero, these are custom set of koni coilovers with eibach race springs....

You're comment is error laden. We here in the southwest have a very simple yet effective alternative.

We go to the pool and get naked. If it's slightly chilly, we go into the jaccouzzi or hot tub and get naked. If it's too cold to do either of the above, we go underneath the covers and get naked. No need for snow to expedite the process.
