new here... gf just got an 03 vibe, wants to lower it

[ib2loud]

So my girlfriend just bought her a 2003 vibe and she wants to lower it. The main thing is she wants a semi-soft ride still, and a relatively low price. I have been fixing up cars for quite a few years now so it's not a problem installing them. I just need user opinions on what rides the best for the lowest price, and still gives a good solid drop.thanks in advance

I'm running with Tein S-type springs on mine. Its about a 2 inch drop with the rear slightly lower then the front for those brake dives you know. Sits really nice, handes very nice and isn't a bouncy rock hard ride. Obviously it rides a little hard from the stock ride, but thats to be expected. I spent a little over $300 CAD for mine.

Tein S-Tech also. Put on a Progress rear sway bar while you're at it, it's worth the extra $90.00 and 15 minutes install time.

sounds good, what are good places for the tein springs? I didn't find any on ebay.

I bought mine from a local performance shop. I have never bought off E-bay.
