It's been several months since I posted last, but I had it lowered with the Hotchkiss springs a few weeks back, and I just had Toyo Proxess 4 tires put on yesterday, here's a pic

Looks good.. and clean! How do you like the ride with the Hotchkis' so far?

[GT_King]

Thanks, just polished it today, just in time for the rain I was surprised at the ride, it actually isn't THAT much different, rides really nice, feels much sportier but not too stiff

Looks great!! I agree the ride isn't that much worse than normal.

Very sweet looking, nice vibe. Just wondering, what kind of rims are those? They look very good on your vibe and i love the tire shine. awesome vibe!

[GT_King]

Thanks guys, the rims are 17" Enkei CDR-9 wheels. here's one more pic, I also changed my headlamp and fog lamps to Silverstar super whites.

[GT_King]

It dropped it 2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear, and when I took it to get aligned, they said if I wanted to do a camber kit I could but it didn't seem neccesary.

GT_King, your ride look very sharp and clean.You did great job and keep it up good work...

[rAERRK]

Wow that painjob looks awesome.

Why do they come from the factory so high?It looks awesome, That's my next major.Did you do it yourself?

[utahindie]

For the older people they first marketed it for. They offer factory kit to lower, aswell.

[GT_King]

Well, I didn't do all of it myself, I did help though. It's pretty easy actually as long as you have a spring compressor, took 2 hours.

[4X4CHICHI]

Sweeeeet

[GT_King]

Actually yes I did have to have a camber kit installed, drives much better now, was pulling to the right at freeway speeds.

[ArcsVibe]

Looks really good! Nice looking Vibe BTW!

[GT_King]

Thanks!

What does a camber kit consist of?

I'm not exactly sure, WHAT is actually in a camber kit, I do know that when I lowered it, it took away the ability to align camber and castor on the wheels thus making it pull to the right, so the camber kit was $80 installed plus an alignment, goes real straight now.

Nice lookin ride. The wheels look a little larger than 17" Guess it's just the style
