Hey you might want to look up proclip, they make mounts for mp3/gps/cell phones that do not require any installation. It completely negates the use of a suction mount. http://www.proclipusa.com/?sec...ight= I've been using one on my '06 Malibu for a few years and its been great. For everyone else, I have already contacted them and they said they will notify me when they have a mount designed for the '09 Vibe/Matrix.

Very nice vibe! How much of a drop are those Teins? I was thinking of getting a set of lowering springs next summer, and your drop looks just right.Edit: Oh, and did you have to do anything else to your suspension when you put them on, camber-wise and so on?

I no longer have the Teins on. I went back to stock. The Teins gave me about 1.5" drop all around and I didn't have to do anything else to it. I had the alignment checked after I dropped it, but nothing changed.

if you click both my garage links in my sig you can see the difference between the drops. my 06 has the tein H-techs that were installed on raffe's vibe and my 04 has the tein S-techs which gave the car a 2.2" drop all around.
