Yeah the same springs. Everytime I take it to the garage they never find anything wrong with it. Just lube it up and things are fine for about 2-3 weeks. But next week I have a appointment at a different garage to see if they can find anything. Its just so weird cause the other 3 wheels are fine, it...

Credz

Well lol, We got the strut in and it was fine for about a month. But, Then the squeek came back, Grrr I dont know why it wont go away. Im taking it to a different garage to see if they can find anything different. I wonder why this keeps happening???

Credz

Ah, thanks guys. I'll check the sensor here then! I oiled the filter before we put it on, on saturday. But I drove it a lot yesterday, pretty much all day and it was fine.I'll keep a eye on it over the next week or so.

Credz

lol, I was going to get some pics today but I was busy all day.I noticed that today my check engine light came on. I dont know why. Yesterday everything was perfectly fine and this morning it was ok, then it just came on. I drove it all day today and everything seemed to be like normal to me. I chec...

Credz

Yeah I really like it. It looks nice and sleek. I just dont know anything about the wiring stuff lol. So I need to see if any of my friends can help me haha. Does it come with all the plugs and the installation kit? Im too tired I probably missed it haha.

Credz

http://www.cardomain.com/item/JVCKDAVX2 ... abThinking about getting this for my car. You guys think its worth it? I like it, it looks pretty nice. I just wanted some opinions lol.

Credz

We ended up putting it in today! Saturday morning, in Ernesto's rain haha. But it didnt take us that long. I couldnt wait till Sunday haha. Then we took it for a drive, the sound is awesome! i will get pics once the weather gets better lol.

Credz

lol Yeah I know. Just busy pretty much rest of the week hehe. I was planning on doing it tomorrow but it looks like rain and I have no garage lol.

Credz

I just got it today I'm so excited lol BUT I wont be able to get it in until atleast Sunday I guess. But once I get it in, Pics will come!!!

Credz

Its been awhile and strut really hasnt gotten any worse, stayed the same. But, Im going to call the garage this week sometime and get them to get the new strut for me and get it installed. I was thinking about having them put in the Weapon R Secret Air Intake when I get it as well.

Credz

Well the Tech. at the garage said I could probably get away with just getting one strut since i dont have that much milage on it yet. I was considering putting the stock springs back on cause ever since i lowered it the one spring where the strut went out kept giving me trouble, but the other 3 are ...

Credz

Well, It looks like i need a new strut at the Front Drivers Side. The technician said it was the valving or something along those lines. So Im going to take it to the Dealership to see if they will cover it but i Doubt it since i have it lowered lol. The Tech. also said something about Adjustable St...

Credz

Well I took my car to the garage today to get a oil change and to get it fixed.I think they fixed the problem, it didnt squeak the whole way home from work so Im happy about that. What they did was loosen the control arm bushings to allow twist or relax if they would. And lubed the bushings and reti...

Credz

Thanks! lol My car is all dirty in the pics with the decals, its hard to keep it clean during the week cause of work haha.Im thinking the coils are rubbing each other cause I was looking out at the springs and i noticed they were pretty close together when I parked it outside here, I kinda have to p...

Credz

Thanks. It seemed fine the first week or so after the drop and just started up this past week, So maybe I'll give it till next week if it doesnt get any better.

Credz

Ah Thanks.Yeah the ride is pretty good, I like it a lot.But for the tint lol I couldnt really tell you. I just told the guy to make it look good. I'll check my receipt when I get home from work to see if its on there.

Credz

Well, I noticed my springs are making little squeeks when I hit little bumps every so often. Is there a way I could stop it or is this something that just occurs?I got the Grafxwerks decals on there now. Soon going to buy that Weapon-R Short Ram

Credz

Thanks guys!I got the rims from TireRack.com, They were pretty cheap with the tires and stuff, under 1000$ with shipping.

Credz

I totally agree with you Merz, I think i will do that.Thanks for the help! Really appreciate it. It takes forever for me to make up my mind haha.And I dont care if you copy me lol. They are cool rims!!! Like you I also wanted the Evo 5's but had no luck lol. Thanks again!

Credz

Thanks!I think I will go with Relfective Black for the Pontiac Symbol, That looks real nice.For the flames im still undecided, either Reflective White or Reflective Dark Red.Not too sure what to get for over the Vibe badge yet either.

Credz

Thanks!Im pretty sure i want to go with Reflective Dark Red for the Flames.But Im not too sure what to put on the "Vibe" Part along with the Pontiac Symbol.

Credz

I want to order these tonight or tomorrow and I cant decided on what to get.I was thinking Reflective Dark Red or Reflective white. Or any other opinions are appreciated as well on color choice! I want to get the Flames, Vibe, Flames over Exhaust, and the Pontiac Symbols. What would go best?My car i...

Credz

How do you apply the touch up paint?I was planning on stopping at the dealership this weekend to get a bottle of it. I had a car wash this weekend and noticed more chips than I had before and its getting to me lol.Thanks for the help!

Credz

Good Drop! Looking Pretty Nice!!!!

Credz

Thanks Guys!Actually Zuben I used the Hotchkis Springs. I liked the drop they gave me though!

Credz

Thanks for the info though! Its something I wouldnt know lol.Was there any custom work you had to do to make it fit? Or did you just have to pop it on there and everything was good to go? lol haha.

Credz

Sweet!Looks like I might be investing in one of these over the next few weeks possibly. I cant really decide what to do next, i would like to get the paint chips on my hood fixed up, I could probably do that myself just got to get the paint. lol. Black car with chips stands out big time lol

Credz

Thanks!How easy was it to install for you?I was thinking about going with it. How is the HP increase for you?I was reading some info on it on the one website, it looks to be pretty awesome.

Credz

What about this...?http://www.sromagazine.com/sho....htmlThat is 203$ and the cosmo is like 80$ Why is there such a huge difference in price?

Credz

Thanks All!I got a question that may seem stupid, but I dont know much about engines and stuff lol.Whats the difference between Short Ram Intake and Cold Air Intake?I was looking at getting one sometime soon hopefully and I really dont know the difference. Also which one would be easier to install?T...

Credz

Thanks guys! Really appreciate it!I wasnt too sure on those rims when I first bought them, But after I got them and got to actually see them in person I loved them haha.

Credz

Hey all, Finally got some pics to show all of you.I put the rims on this past weekend and had the springs installed at the beginning of the week!http://www.cardomain.com/ride/769593The new pics are on page 3, Hope you all like it. I have more pics than what is on there if you would like to see more ...

Credz

Ohhhh! I plan on it. Probalby wont have pics till Saturday though. I have to get it a carwash, cause from sitting at works parking lot with everything going it gets dirty real quick, which makes me mad lol I usually get a carwash every weekend haha.

Credz

I just got mine lowered today using the Hotchkis as well. They told me my front wheels need 2 Camber Bolts. I was little upset after reading how everyone else didnt need a Camber kit, But Oh well I guess, I will get it back tomorrow. They said it looks really cool so Im excited to see it tomorrow wh...

Credz

I think Reflective black would look nice.I was thinking about getting overlays as well. But Dont really know what Reflective color would look good on the Abyss Vibe.

Credz

The only shop that would install my springs in the area is charging me 550$ with a 4 wheel alignment. So 325 is real good compared to what they are charging me lol.

Credz

I'd be willing to try to go to a meet, depending when it is. It would be cool!

Credz

I think I found another set of Rims I like..But Im not too sure about the finish, it is Bright Silver Paint.http://www.tirerack.com/servle...ecial=Does anyone know how good the finish will last? It has a year warrenty on it, but I dont want the paint to chip since I live back a dirty road with stone...

Credz

Well, They are sold out of those rims now ...I guess I will have to go back to the drawing board lol I tried searching for those rims at other sites but I cant seem to find them anywhere, I really liked those lol Oh well. Thanks for the help though everyone!

Credz

The tires Im going to go with are the Toyo Proxes FZ-4. I wanted a All Season Tire incase I run into some snow/ice. I figure I would put my stock rims/tires back on when winter rolls around next year so they stay nice lol.But I probably wont put them on right away when I get them, probably not till ...

Credz

Hey All, My Vibes B-Day is today lol 1 year old haha.But anyways. I wanted to get rims for the longest time and just had a few quick questions...Im ordering from WheelMaxhttp://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=10551Those are the rims I want to purchase.I was just wondering if the 38 offset would ...

Credz

Ahhh that sucks.But i guess i will go with those then! Thanks everyone for the help, I appreciate it!!!

Credz

Hey, Thanks for the imput that really helped me out.I guess i will go with the 18x8 then You never experianced any scraping or anything?

Credz

Any Help? I got some info on the rims..Size: 18x7PCD: 5x100ET: 42Weight: 24lbs.orSize: 18x8PCD: 5x100ET: 35Weight: 25.8lbs.Im not real sure of the offset for the vibe either though...On the pontiac site it says something like 40.6cm (Wheels, 16" (40.6 cm) cast aluminum )So if the offset is 40.6...

Credz

On these here...http://www.edgeracing.com/2005...l/286/Where is says ET...is that the offset?I cant seem to find anything where it says this.i noticed the 18x7 are like 45 and the 18x8 are 35...Just wondered if that was the offset. and if so..which would be the better choice?

Credz

Looks nice man. It goes good I think!

Credz

Those hot wheel rims would probably look good, I'd go with those most likely.It took me a few weeks to finally decide which pair of rims I wanted to get. Until i saw a pic of a black vibe with same pair of rims i was considering to get and thats when i got hooked. lol

Credz

Yeah, I didnt plan on putting my rims on until after winter which is a long wait lol. But i didnt order them yet either, I probably will in next few weeks though. Its not really worth putting them on for a few months then taking them back off is it?

Credz

Ah thanks! I was thinking about getting a wheel/tire package on there when i order my rims so i have everything in one shot.Just a quick question..Do any of you know what the difference between All Weather Tires and All Season Tires are?

Credz

Well, i changed my mind about the rims..http://www.edgeracing.com/2005...l/283/I decided to go with these instead. I saw a black vibe like mine but it was a 03 and mines a 05 and I thought they looked nice on it. So after seeing that vibe with them on, i was hooked pretty much lol.
