Re: Lowered 09 GT, having rear strut problem

Well, I figured out my rear strut problem. Apparently when they were building my 09 GT in the month of October 2008 they ended up using AWD rear struts. According to KYB tech, they said the 340018 which was called for my specific car for rears. Those didn't fit; my lower eyelet mount has a much smal...

Re: Lowered 09 GT, having rear strut problem

You know; It appeared to look as a solid bushing on the originals. I'm gonna have to relook at it. I know I'm gonna have to pull it completely apart again, to even gain a visual. We installed the spring on the new strut and bolted the top end in place; we noticed the hole size all immediately got up...

Re: Lowered 09 GT, having rear strut problem

The only other problem with my set up is I still have the stock OEM struts in the rear (until I figure out why the mounting hole is too large) but the small issue I have riding on stock struts in rear; is I still have a .68 degative camber on right side and .48 on left side. Can't get anything bette...

Lowered 09 GT, having rear strut problem

Hello, everyone. I finally got around to lowering my wives 2009 Vibe GT. We've own the car almost 5 years and front left strut went bad a little while ago and through it off but recently the right front strut went bad too. So time for the fix. Well, not trying to dump a grand into her; I went with K...

Another Lowering Springs Question??

2009 VIBE GT 38k+I'm very new; considering just bought my 09 GT late January. I'm 4 days from buying my lowering springs. I'm pretty sure I want to go with TRD 09-10 MATRIX XRS or COROLLA springs. Does anyone feel I should go the TEIN 03-08 route instead. Opinions are welcomed. I don't want a rough ...

Another Lowering Springs Question??

Hello, very new to this site; due to me buying a 2009 Vibe GT a week ago. From reading the previous threads; I'm gonna go with Tiens H, but was wondering if the 2003-2008 will fit on the 2009? From what I understand, 2008+ are the 2nd generations; right? Is this a advertisement confusion; or the sus...
