Hey!

Post by Twizted-Vibe »

Hey guys i just recently got a 03 white vibe GT. Unfortunatly i totaled my other car which was a show car but now i have a new project! Ive noticed many parts from the matrix fit these cars but i was curious. i found some cheap coilover sleeve kits and springs on ebay for a colrolla and also had vibe in the tittle.will the adjustable springs for a 2003 corolla fit a 2003 vibe gt?

Welcome to GenVibe! I would stay away from those cheap eBay coilovers. They are cheap for a reason. Your best bet would be a set of good lowering springs like Tein or Eibach.

welcome!what was your last car?Yeah the cheap coil over's are kinda junk. I found skunk2's for the vibe for 400...but they ride like crapola. tein is the way to go for coil overs.

Also, check out http://www.MatrixOwners.com to see if anyone there has used them since the Vibe GT & The Matrix XRS are the same.

Just remind me, if you show up at the "super big meet" to NOT ride in your car... well, that is unless the girl from the pics on CD is there, then that's a ride worth risking my life over...
