Thanks Papa Rad!I will be sending him an e-mail. @ Unchained, What part of Maryland do you live? Been there a few times. Oh also, when I do this, I am wanting to put rims on her. What is a good size rim and tire size to use and have no problems either? Here is what I am thinking about. What do ya think? http://www.wheelplususa.com/package_...f_tire_id=5118

^those would look sweet! Personally I'm a fan of 17s on alero's. 16's have to much tire but after having 18's for a while myself they are to big.

I find 225/50r17 is the perfect size for the alero lowered on 17's obviously. its what I ride on it gives me a perfect grip on the road, nice wheel gap, and lots of room left in the tire if I hit a pot hole.
im riding on monroes and my eibachs I find they work quite well together ( monroe strut mounts as well )

I would be highly suspicious of any homebuilt coilovers, I had a set before and they were absolutely terrible to drive on, and handled like shit with no adjustment other than height.

Well that would be cool. If it does work out, give me a shout and I'll meet up for the springs. @ kwhauck, My biggest thing is the speedo reading right. What size should I go and get the closest reading? There are bored cops in my town that will pull you over for 2 or 3 over!

225/45/17 would be the size closest to stock and with that tire when your speedo reads 60mph you would be going 60.3mph

I could understand that, potholes suck and it would be terrible to ruin a rim (i've done it before)
