Full Coilover Kits?

Do any manufacturers make full coilovers for the Alero? Looking to stiffening up the ride.

The only coilovers made for the alero are one-off pieces. I personally have a set of one off koni coilovers that were made by truechoice motorsports, and they were a pretty penny.

You will definitely spend a pretty penny on a full kit i haven't been able to find a full set but if you want a decent ride quality ive found that the eibach pro kit gives you a nice stance with a really good ride for only like 300 bucks

I am new to this site, but I am wondering why you would want a coilover setup in an alero. I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but the olds alero has a macpherson strut suspension. The shock absorbers in the suspension work as the pivot point of the suspension and, they have to be strong enought to take the lateral force of turning without bending or flexing. Coilovers are used in double A-arms or wishbone suspension, where they don't control the cars steering. I don't mean to insult anybody, but, the idea of putting coilover shocks in a car like the alero would be very complicated (if even possible) and would offer no performance gains in handling.
