thanks

travis1043

i've read people putting 19's. i myself have 18's. checkout the kumho ecsta asx. i think you'll be impressed.

travis1043

i put some 18x8's on my vibe wrapped in a 225/40 kumho ectsta asx. i have had so many compliments on the wheel choice and i love the tire tread. i lowered mine though with tein-s springs. so my ride did change. i and many others thought it was the perfect combo (wheel size and heigth adjustment.)

travis1043

thanks for all of your input. you have been very helpful

travis1043

thanks for your response and math skills. a friend said to me he wouldn't use the synthetic in my car but he would if he had a corvette. he said it was a waste. is there any negative factors to switching to the synthetic?

travis1043

i plan on keeping my vibe for a long time. i know it will last so i want to use the synthetic oil but i am sort of on a budget. thanks for your help

travis1043

one of the main reason's for the post was to avoid the dealer costs any other suggestions...

travis1043

thanks i knew that much

travis1043

i've got 35,500 miles on my vibe. what type of maintenance should i do? any suggestions on a synthetic oil and filter?

travis1043

thanks for everyone's help

i let my dad borrow my vibe. i have sport package with tien s springs. my dad ripped the front ground effects off. where can i get a replacement? and can i find in the satallite?

travis1043

so far i think that tein s type springs are the best looking drop... does anyone have the gm bodykit with these springs? if so how about some pics?

travis1043

there are both the s and h techs on ebay... says there for matrix... they will work on vibe right? one more question anyone running 18's with these springs and if so do you have any pics?

travis1043

i was wondering what is the best way to get to the rear struts to change springs? i have bought the hotchkis springs and wanting to make the drop.

travis1043

loved the pic i was wanting to see one first. do you have a ram air hood?

travis1043

thanks you are right the typhoon is short ram intake

travis1043

i was looking into injen cai but i ran across this k&n typhoon and i know k&n has a good reputation. has anyone tried a typhoon? or would it just be worth the extra cash to purchase the cai?

travis1043

thanks to everyone who posted

travis1043

thanks for the reply you helped me make my mind up

travis1043

how's the ride and handling

travis1043

travis1043

just wondering about this ethanol gas.... has anyone used it in a vibe? it's supposed to be 105 octane

travis1043

thanks blue crush... i have the gm sport package.. will that make a big difference

travis1043

ok you got hotchkis after my reading i thought about tien s??? any thoughts....

travis1043

your drop looks good thanks for the advice

travis1043

i have been reading a lot and there are very few people with 18" wheels. i have found some that i really like. i am trying to find the best spings for the money and wondering how much of a drop i should go with?

travis1043

i'm gonna go with a black wheel trimed in chrome. i'll post pics when i get everything

travis1043

injen cai, magnaflow exhaust, 1.5" eibach springs, 18" wheels wrapped in 225/40/zr18'sabout a couple g's should get er done

travis1043

thanks i know now everything i want now it's just time to save the money

travis1043

thanks for the reply. i've got the sport package option. when the ex had the car she just about ripped the front end off. i wasn't in the car so i don't know what happened. so far i haven't scrubbed. but for me to drop two inches worries me. what's some advantages of lowering?

travis1043

how much did you drop yours? i see two different sets

travis1043

so will the injen work i was told it would only fit 03 model?

travis1043

i've found some 18" wheels wrapped in 225/40/18's they are 7.5 " anyone with this application and if so what would be the perfect lowering springs? looking for the best for the money...

travis1043

i'm looking to buy a cai does the aem pass emissions? and how would you rate it.. i've been told that 03 injen cai will not work. by the way i have a 04 vibe monotone sport package moon and tunesthe aem i found is for a matrix xr so i'm guessing it should fit like a glove?

travis1043

i just got an email and was told that the 03 intake will only fit on the 03. what about aem cai they had some for 02-04 matrix xr and corolla? and would the aem pass emissions? ty

travis1043

thanks for the reply. i'm gonna get started building my ride. i'll get some pics so you can check it out.

travis1043

i've been reading alot and i was back and forth on the injen and cosmo, and then i read that if i needed to pass emissions to go with the injen. another question... will an 03 vibe cai fit my 04? what others....matrix xr what about the corolla 1.8 L ???

travis1043

i'm new to this site i've got a 04 vibe base model. i made sure i got the sport package, moons and tunes, power everything, and its an automatic. got the car in the divorce. now i'm looking to fix her up right. i was wondering the best performance pieces for the money. i've looked into the injen cai...
