09 Vibe & Progress Lowering Springs (new pictures)

urk · Post by **urk** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 5:43 am

Super nice day outside so I decided to take some pictures of my 09 Vibe and recently installed Progress Lowering Springs. I also spent some time detailing it last week as well. Washed, Clayed, filled in paint chips, Klasse All In One, Klasse Sealant Glaze and a layer of Megs Gold Class wax on top of that. Enjoy

Thanks guys, hopefully it keeps settling for a bit and I get some more drop.

Looks nice and clean! Best pic of a gray Vibe I've seen - and in broad daylight no less.So, are those Progress springs the same part number for 2008 as they are for 2009?However, the pic seals the deal for me. When I do it, I'm getting Eibach Sportlines. I only want a teeny wheel gap!

Personally I would like to be lower in the future with no gap but I'm happy with the Progress springs for now as it has cut the massive gap at least in half and the ride is a lot better. The box did say 08+ Corolla/Matrix and it seems like the same part number for the 09's

it looks nice. I like the even gap all the way around. Looks very uniform

Looking good! That's a great looking drop. I've been thinking about dropping mine for a while now =/ How's the ride now? Is it stiffer than before?

cptnsolo77 they are 17" toyota TRD rims from the matrixlowincash, yeah the ride is stiffer then before and has reduced body roll by a lot making corners/on ramps a bit more fun.

so the 08 vibe springs will fit 09 also?

Hey I think you got a little more of a drop than my springs. I have the TRD's for 09. That looks very nice!

They have since dropped a little bit more since I got them installed, I'll try and get some new pictures this weekend if they weather cooperates.

Looks like it's fine as many other members have used 08 springs on the 09-10 models
