He needs the rear spindles. Well technically, he needs the everything from the rear shocks down. He wants to do a rear brake conversion since he has a Grand Am SE. They didn't come with discs. Only the GT did. That's also something I'm looking at, but I'm sketchy to using JY wheel hubs.

That's my goal. I'm waiting for a good set of rims to show up. I'm trying to keep the weight of the rims no heavier than 19-20 pounds. I know it doesn't mean much but I feel I'll regret getting heavy rims in the future if I go that route.

Surprisingly, my rims (just the rims) are 2 lbs lighter per wheel then my 16s.
Though I think they are also just a wee lighter (the 18s) with tires then my 16s are.. But I have not checked.

No they are new, I'm just saying they weren't damaged through shipping.

suspension is still very easy to come by for the alero.
struts (kyb gr2) i ordered off amazon.com they were 52-54$ per strut. look for kyb gr2 for an alero somewhere, get the part number, then go to amazon, search kyb gr2 and the part number, make sure they match and boom. (thats what i did)
Canuck springs ordered off canuckmotorsports.com 189$ + 30$ shipping.
moog strut mounts ordered off ebay.. i believe it was.. 67$ for two front (pair) and 38$ for rear (pair)
then the boot kits was from tirerack.com if i remember correctly.. those were 13$ a piece (2 front kits, 2 rear)
then i had the dealership put all the components together.. around 165$ for that. i had em a few together but wanted to make sure it was right and they told me some was wrong so they had to take apart and reassemble. so kinda happy i had them do it.
took all 4 strut assumblys home, installed them on the car myself then went back to the dealer for an alignment.
and dont worry your not being a pain, glad you searched. always welcome to help.

also always remember that if you can't find something for the alero that is powertrain or suspension related and a few things in other realms, search for a grand am of the same years as it has more support and is the exact same car
