New Vibe owner

Post by Shaggy4267 »

Hi everyone,I just purchased a 2003 Vibe Gt and I was looking at some of the other members ppics and I really like the lowered look. I want to get some spring but I;m not quite sure which ones to go with. Some on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...WA:ITI thought I'd ask the people who already have went through the process. Let me Know what you think.By the way it's my first post!

Hey welcome to genvibe!!! Well honestly i just dropped my vibe today... with some hotchkis springs... and i love them. they ride really well.My fiance didnt want me to... but i did anyways. but she was there and saw it wasnt too low and she loved how they ride.So me personally would recommend these.But there are hotchkis, springtech, tien s-tech, tien h-techs... and skunk2 has them but muchos dinero.GOOD LUCK and hope you stay!

Cheap but not junk.He got them from me! lol You can find them on Ebay, many different kinds. That is usually the cheapest place to get them. Depends what kind of drop you want as to which ones you get.

I believe they all fit... as in xrs, xr, base vibe and GT. if someone can correct me if im wrong.But to be safe you can just use xr springs on a base vibe and xrs springs on a GT.Our mechanics of the car are the same thing.... so that guys just blowing smoke.

Welcome shaggy...to another GT owner. This is a great site, lots of friendly and helpful members here!Most Matrix aftermarket parts work on our Vibes, but as you discovered, if you're not sure, just ask!By the way...I'm running Hotchkis springs (and strut tower brace and sway bars too), and love the way it rides and makes the car look.
