I KNOW I read a post on http://www.matrixowners.com earlier today regarding a group buy on Tein springs, but I cannot find it now. I wonder if the post was removed for a reason, or I just cannot locate it.Carl

Matrix and Vibe springs are identical, so you can order them under either name. I got mine from:http://www.optauto.com/webstore/product ... pt=1680for $143 plus shipping, listed for Matrix. They look really well made and gave the specified drop of just over 2". Ride was just like stock and handling was great, much less tendency to lift the right wheel on hard right turns. Unfortunately, per my recent "suspension' post, my monster tires scrubbed on combined bumps/turns and I had to go back to shortened stock springs. For sure there would be no problem with up to a 235/40 on an 8" rim.

not 100% sure on this, but the only thing I think you need to worry about is if it's for AWD or not, but the vibe has a toyota suspension on it, read a couple times where people have put TRD springs on Vibes, now if those will work on a vibe, no reason any of the others shouldn'tbut not 100% sure though

I didn't mean that they don't make them for the AWD, just meant that I think the springs are different between FWD and AWD, sorry for the confusion
