Before prices go up? Better get them now from anyone who happens to have them on their shelves...Hotchkis doesnt have any in their inventory and wont be making any more.Good luck guys....
Just got off the phone with Hotchkis....no more springs for the Matrix/Vibe will be made. That means no more TVS1 kit either... Just thought you guys would like to know.
Ahh....the sleeve type coilovers.Just a heads up, ask around a bit before you buy them. I have only heard negative feedback about the kits out for the Vibe/Matrix. Not trying to sway you....just suggesting a bit of checking around with some people that have used those kits on their Vibe. You may fin...
If you guys need photos of those ES pieces, let me know. I can post them up. They arent real quick movers. We've had the same set of Axle Beam Bushings in stock for two months... I think its an issue of people not knowing about them. The Motor Mounts are really popular though....worth living with th...
A lot of it depends on which coilovers you go with too. Thats why so many people like the Ksports (like Madbikes) because of the fact that you can adjust the dampening on them and where the height adjustment is done.
The DC header is a great mod. It is crazy though how small it is....for the money they should at least send it in a larger box to make you feel better...LOL.
Trying to get the Matrix/Vibe portion of our site dialed in. Rather than steal photos from the site, I figured I'd ask people to submit some to me for the website. If you prefer to email them to me so nobody else uses them, that is fine as well. neverenoughauto@gmail.com Items I could use photos of:...
Hey guys...we're working on putting together a GB for the Unichip. Figured we'd put it past you guys as well if you're interested.http://matrixowners.com/forums...20066
The difference is that the OEM bar is hollow and so it flexes a lot more than the solid aftermarket bars. The fact that the aftermarket bars are a larger diameter and solid is why it gives the car a lot firmer feel in the corners.
Yes it does. The car also comes with tires....doesnt mean there arent better ones out there for it....lol.The stock front is pretty good. Most people dont upgrade the front sway because its a PITA. Most will go with a DC strut tower bar and a Progress rear sway bar.
Some weld-on kits can be bolted on if you drill holes and reinforce it enough. When the time comes, you can pull the kit, plug the holes and bolt the stock hinges back on.... Universal kits are a lot cheaper...
I have a few parts listed for your vehicle on our site. You can at least get an idea from there what is available.Exhaust - as long as you dont have the AWD, the exhausts for the Toyota Matrix XR/Base and Pontiac Vibe will work without any modification. The most popular is Magnaflow because it is a ...
For free, its worth the $50 to have a shop cut it and weld it in place. Might as well throw down a little extra and have them build you a midpipe as well while its on the lift.
I'd say Stechs from my experience. I rode in Nuvibe's car a couple weeks ago and it rode better than the Progress I had, or the Eibach equiped vehicles I've been in in the past.
