TEIN S-Type Springs, Vibe is lowered.

Post by Mavrik »

Yup as the title says, I got my springs and installed them today thanks to the help of another Gen Vibe member in London. He had the tools and the know how so after work today I went over and we worked on them. Got them done in about 2.5 hours including the time we spent driving over to the shop he works at so we could use the compressor for the springs.Once I update my Car Domain page, I'll show you more pics but here is a teaser!

Set me back about $400...Tell your wife the car is easier to get into, lower at the back when loading food in, all around much better car

All it needs is a little more power and I would be completely content with it. Everything so far is turning out nice.

Well I'll just take you two for a ride in mine, oh and you'll need a ride in Devlop's turbo and Tammy will let you install both.
