July 2018
Finally up-to-date as of July 22, 2018.
With dreams of slamming my Vibe, I lowered the Vibe even more lol. This time all four corners were lowered 1/2". So if we do the math, from stock to coils, 2-2.5" drop; plus the Fronts lowered 1/2"+1/2" and Rears 3/8"+1/2"; that's about a 3-3.5" drop. The front struts still have more threads to go if I want to go lower; however, the rears have very little threads available compared to the front.Other than that, I'm digging the height where it's sitting at. I'd love to go lower but that would be eased if someone granted me the rare GM Ground Effects kit.

Driving experience is about the same prior to lowering the car. I have minor rubbing issues. Luckily I'm only rubbing and making holes in both of my front fender liners. I'm going to be experimenting with the dampening. I want a softer ride but I also don't want to bottom out LOL. I do want to add spacers in the future but first I have to get an alignment since I'm making a trip next weekend and won't be able to work on my car since I lost my f*cking wheel lock smh.

Notice anything different? I plastidipped my wheels white. Not happy with the texture but the look overall satisfies me. I also got tired of the lip/splitter hitting curb stops in parking lots so I took it off. It got in the way of the jack as well- or maybe I'm just lazy tbh...
