If you bought a Vibe for speed. You are in for a rude awakening. A base model vibe was not even remotely close to be geared towards performance. Perhaps you should have done your research before you purchased a car. It usually helps :D

Perhaps the OP should realize that the vibe is a much much smaller car in comparison to his old aurora. And the stability of a smaller and lighter car during high speeds will be reduced significantly when both of those factors are diminished. Another factor that can cause your instability could just...

I have 20 all around, with 35 in the windshield. Perfect combiniation in my opinion. Doesn't obstruct your view at night, but dark enough where people can't see in, unless they dive their nose to the window. :D

I did minorly brake boost, however I'm affraid of braking the tiptronic. Not to mention, it only allows you to go to 2000rpms.....It's ok, i've accepted the fact that my car is a 3800lb pig. I'll just roll around and look sexy instead.

Re: took her to the dragstrip today... (ITcar)

yeap got beat by her. I have a tiptronic, so it doesn't help at all. Thats ok, I have no shame losing to her. As a matter of fact I think its good that she did. My time for my car was rediculous.

Newb question, do most of you replace shocks while you guys replace the springs as well. To my knowledge, most oem shocks aren't made to handle the shorter spring, but I am a newb to the Vibe world, and would love to get you guys/girls insight on it.
