i wanna drop my vibe

Post by passtimik »

I want to drop my car. I think 1 1/4 will do. Should i get springs and a heavier duty shock, get coilovers or just springs. I welcome any good advise. This is my first drop. Thanks

Get some Tein H-tech springs. They give you roughly the drop you're looking for. It's a simple swap; they work with your factory/OEM style struts. Here's member waveresponder's Vibe lowered on H-techs, with the GM body kit and some weight in the back.Personally, I'm dropping mine in a few weeks on Canucks.

not sure if Eibach makes the 1¼" drop springs for our cars anymore, but there are two other springs out there that will give you an extra ¼" for a 1½" drop total. those are TRD Springs and Tien H-Techs. Also if you are looking at Springs, any spring that is made for the Toyota Matrix will work on our cars as well since they share the exact same suspension set up and layout. i believe the Corolla springs will work as well.this is mine with the Tein H-Techs on:
