stancing an alero?

[Bracknaphobia]

IMO there are obviously some platforms that lend themselves to stance, and some that don't. OP, I won't tell you what to do with your Alero, but it doesn't really seem like you're in love with it, so just ask yourself if it's really worth it to you.

If you really wanted to do it and you pulled it off nicely, then that would be pretty awesome. But what would look better to you, a stanced Alero, or a stanced Mk3/4? There are also way more aftermarket parts to choose from on other platforms. Just some food for thought.

Do it! I'd love to see a modified Alero kicking out 250hp. Throw up some pics of what it looks like now.

No need for me to add my .02....I think everything has been covered

[J954sho]

I dunno, are you going to use it to pick up the same sex?

[shogunner]

i think ghey, i once rented an alero in fl and it was pretty ghey.. i would use it to make some loot to buy something more aesthetically worthy to stance.

resale is something to think about.

please dont >_<

[radiokilla]

I want to see this get done. Be a pioneer!

Wow, I am full of fail, lately. I was thinking 3400.

On the other hand, if you find yourself falling for the little Olds, I say go for it! There's a very small but loyal following for the Aleribu, so there are plenty of ideas floating around. Some of those cats have done pretty cool stuff with the Quad Four; and if your car happens to be motivated by the Vortec 6, you're just an M90 away from running with some pretty big dogs! I say do it big; cockslap the snobs; and have fun with it!

The vortec's only came in suvs, you're probably thinking about the L67 than came in GTPs SSEis etc.

It came with some inline fours you could turbo or the 3400. The latter with some revised gaskets can actually be pretty stout. I've seen 270ish whp n/a.

OP: I agree with those who are advising against this move if you're not in love with the car. You might as well wait until you fall in love with something else.

To the snobs:
Many of you seem to forget that cars widely accepted in this culture such as the Jetta, Golf, and Civic were all originally intended to be CHEAP transportation, just like the Focuses, Kias, and now Aleros you look down your nose at. Park your heads somewhere outside of your asses, and put down those huge glasses of BMW/VAG/Honda Cool-Aid you've been living off of for the past couple of years.

PS: I can see the difference between those whom have tried to help the OP with suggesting buying a car he loves/ not hacking a car he plans to sell, and the flat-out snobs in this thread; it's pretty clear.

Yeah that Bonnie is mine.

An Alero is an N-body, same as a Grand Am. They make a few sets of springs, AGXs, and Bilstein coilovers for that platform. http://mantapart.com/ has the coilovers.

damn. 7 series headlights on an alero.

/endgame.

5 series.

I'm all for thinking outside of the box and doing something different (contrary to the fact that I drive a Miata slammed on XXR's ), but personally I would elect against it. Alero's aren't the greatest looking cars to begin with IMO, and i'm sure the aftermarket for them is pretty sparse. I'd steer another route if possible.

You have the money to buy rare suspension and modify but you don't have money for a new car?

Sell it, buy a UCF10 LS400 and mod that.

"Ideas?
Suggestions?"

idea; unless the suspension is blown (like mine) I would keep it as show room as possible IF you plan to sell it.

Suggestion; it doesn't sound like you have much of a connection with this alero so it would be more "baller" if you came back in a month with something you could talk about for a few hours.
