Hey everybody!!!! I just wanted to thank all of you for posting such informative opinions on the topic of suspension!!! It really helped me out in my final decision to buy the right springs for me. I went w/ the Tein's for the fact that everyone that had them were satisfied and that Tein specializes in only a few Japanese makes, so i figured they really knew what they were doing. At first the drop specified seemed a bit much, but much to my surprise it was just right! The ride is smooth and the car looks great!!!! Thanks again to all of you who posted!!!

Looks great! I currently have the Eibach Pro Kit springs but I am considering switching to the Tein's next year sometime to get a little more drop.Are these the Tein High.Tech or S.Tech springs?

These are the S. Techs, I was also considering the Eibach sport lines before I bought these, but I read in a similar forum somebody mentioning that if you just drop 1-2 inches it makes the Vibe look like a normal car. People would not notice that it was lowered unless compared side by side with another vibe/matrix. So I went with the lowest I could find (for springs, I an not considering coilovers just yet)!!! The only thing is that these did not come with the silencer sleeves (i bought on ebay), but I really don't notice any noises to the point that sleeves would make a difference. One thing that I HAVE to say is that I have never had so much fun (in a car) going around corners and not having the entire car tilt!!! Handling is incredible!!! Anyways, here is a pic of my rear wheel *notice the green springs within the spokes!

Hey, I know this is completely off topic, but does anybody know of a company that manufactures aftermarket mesh grills for the vibe??? at least any that fit into the factory (holes, screws, etc)... i cannot find anybody that does not have to custom make the grill and then you have to "glue" it yourself... i guess thats not a bad thing, but i would rather have something (like the TRD grill), that fits right in. TRD made an amazing grill for I believe the 4-runner or the SUV that starts with a "T" (i cannot remember the name), but it is just one big piece and its completely wire mesh... Its BEAUTIFUL!!! i put one together myself, but the origional grill is still there (i put it over the origional)... i want something more professional and better looking!!! any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! btw. sorry for the long offtopic post
