I think I'm on my 5th windshield. And I have chip in the one I have in now but it hasn't turned into a crack yet. So I'll wait.....

myredrs

They are Falken Rims 17x7 215/50/17. I think that they are OEM 17 inch size. I might ask a local shop to look at the struts to se if they are bad. But I though the hotchkis didn't have a 2 inch drop. Is it more than advertised?Thanks

myredrs

So, I've had the springs on for over a year now. I think that the front is getting lower and lower. Alot of rubbing going on the highway. Going over a bump and turning left and right in a parking lot. I'm thinking of removing them and putting on the stock springs. But what about the struts and sprin...

myredrs

I think it's about time for the North East to have a M&G.

myredrs

That was amazing. Unreal. "OH, What a feeling. Toyota"

myredrs

Put me in for a 2 pod, please. But I would like to see a picture.Thanks.

myredrs

How much are the Konis? And where can you find them?

myredrs

I had mine replaced in the summer but my insurance paid for it. It's cracked again. So I guess I'll call the insurnace company after the neww year have them replace it again.

myredrs

I paid $320 about a year ago from performance peddler. But just last month I had it removed and replaced with another magnaflow exhaust because there was a rattling in the resonator. It was replaced under the lifetime warranty from magnaflow. But i had to buy a new one from performance peddler for t...

myredrs

I'm up to almost 70k. No problems yet.

myredrs

The pads are new also. Hawk GPS, I think. I love them. The car stops great now. But sitting in traffic sucks. Loud squeeking noise. So do you think I need to replace the pads?

myredrs

I went to Midas and they said that they couldn't turn them. Any idea who can? A small shop? Commercail chain?I put new pads on when the rotors went on. It's only been 4 months.Thanks.

myredrs

I noticed that my went down also. 2-3 mpg. I do mostly highway when not stuck in traffic. I was hoping for better mpg.

myredrs

I got the same setup and I was thinking the same thing also. The springs have imporved handling. Also the pot holes here are horrible on this setup. I'm afraid that something is going to blow when I go over one.

myredrs

I see. At least he hasn't struck out yet.

myredrs

I know the auction is over but these would be cool. Put an oil pressure and oil temp and tach gauge.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

myredrs

Thanks. 5 hours left in the bid on EBAY. Hopefully someone out bids me. OR I guess I can resale them.

myredrs

I found some of these bulbs on ebay for $20. Are they worth it? But they are 80 watts. Will that burn out the wiring. Same for the foglights, H3. http://www.hella.com/produktio...4.jsp

myredrs

I got the Hotchkis and it's a good drop amout, I think 1.5 inches a little less in back. And the handling now is awesone. No more tipping feeling going on to exit ramp.

myredrs

I want to paint the calipers when it gets warmer. I got the rotors on ebay for irotor I think. I think they were $150 or for front and back.Post some pics of your calipers. Was it spray on or the paint?

I had it alinged the day after I got them on. I using factory 17 tire size with the aftermarket rims. I'm thinking of going to 2254517. Or will that mess everything up?Anyway here are some pictures.

myredrs

I got them on about a week ago. They improve the handling and look really nice. I ordered some slottedcross drilled rotors and HAWK brake pads a while ago. They were just sitting in the basement so I had them put all of those things on also.Pictures will be included in a day or so.But now that I see...

myredrs

Of course when the weather gets better. Hopefully the snow will go away one day.

myredrs

Where can you get a AEM CAI filter? Or cleaning products?Should I just contact AEM?How long is it suppose to last? K&N's are suppose to last 100,000 miles. Are they the same type?

myredrs

Just drove to work after that wonderful blizzard we had in MA and I had major vibration. It's the snow buildup in the rims for me. That's the only problem that I usually have after snow.Greg

myredrs

I checked back a while but "VIBEGT" was available in MA.

myredrs

So, how did everyone's Vibe survive the snow?I know I had a lot of wheel spin but I guess I'm not easy on the gas.I did have a tire viberation above 60 going to work. But I also had snow in the wheels that were knocking it off balance.

myredrs

I'll be willing to meet in CT. Coming down from Mass.

myredrs

It was so funny that we all were crying at work.Thanks I needed that.

myredrs

Thanks for the input. I really want it but it sounds like my company is going to have layoffs in January. I'll wait until after that. If it's still available them I might really consider it.So in the mean time I put 17" Falken Torque 5 rims and a Progress RSB on the Vibe.

myredrs

I'm going to go look at one this weekend. Use it as a weeeknd car. It looks like the guy has taken care of it and modified it. Engine and suspension upgrades. Redone the leather seats. Repainted.Has anyone had experience with them? For or against?Greg

myredrs

I found a deal for 17x7.5 wheels with 215/45/17 tires for $650. Will there be issues, if any, if I put these on. I know stock 17's are 17x7 and 215/50/17. I'm guessing a slight speedo change will happen.Thanks.

myredrs

That is true about the sound. It is a much deeper, cooler sound.

myredrs

I'm so excitied about looking for rims and rims and tires.

myredrs

I got the Magnaflow Catback installed over the weekend. Awesome deep sound. Louder on the highway, but I guess I'll just turn the radio up a little more.Also, found out that the OEM tires are quickly dying. So now I'm on the prowl for new rims and rims.

myredrs

I found these on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVWI'm kind of interested because it's a 1.75 inch drop. I don't want 2 inch but I think that the Eibach pro kit 1.25 is too little. Has anyone found a 1.50 spring kit? Am I being stupid? Does it really matter between a half an inch or so.Tha...

How do you get the taillight overlays? I'm hooked....

myredrs

How hard is it to put the taillight overlays on? How do you do it? To have to take the taillight assembly off?

myredrs

Does anyone have the paint codes for a '03? I want to get touch paint but I don't know the numbers to give them. OR where are the numbers that you are suppose to tell them.Thanks.

myredrs

How do you remove one of those dealership stickers from the back of the car?

myredrs

Not sure if they're any good.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...WA:IT

myredrs

Thanks guys. I guess I'll pass on them.

myredrs

I went to the local dealership and picked up a maplight for the sunroof and it cost me $4.76. For a light, not important light. I couldn't find the bulb at any autoparts store. That's why I went to the dealership for it.

myredrs

Are they any good? How long to put in headers anyways?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVW
