Another Vibe gets DROPPED

Post by 4X4CHICHI »

I know a lot of Vibes been getting dropped lately,but I just had to share a few pics of mine. It rides awesome, i can barely tell a difference in the ride quality, until I turn a sharp corner. It's like a whole new car.This is my freind Joe's 300 Z twin turbo, really fast. I helped him do the install.

I really want to thank the guy who posted the 4 pages of his install and 4 pages of illustations. It was very helpful, if nothing else just for which tool sizes to use. Having them handy is a lot easier than trying various sizes. I did how ever get a coulple of "dude, I do this for a living's" from the guy who helped me. all together it only took about an hour and 45 minutes. He really let me get down and dirty and really help, which I really wanted. I believe I could help anyone local if they needed it. anytime just e-mail me.

Looks awesome! Just lowering the car really makes the car more agressive looking, especially with the nice wheels. Quote, originally posted by 4X4CHICHI »believe it or not I decided to go with the 1.75 drops from sprint on Ebay.What kind of springs are those? Is "Sprint" a not well known brand? I just haven't heard of them.Again, your Vibe looks great!

They're called Sprint performance suspension. they have been on Ebay for a long time now. I think a place called SuspensionMax carries them. I read all of their stuff and E-mailed them a couple of times for some more info, then I saw they were selling them for $120.00 w/free shipping, and I thought, "why not try them?"

I was test driving it after the install and happened to come across it. So, I just parked in front of it and snapped a shot. I hope they don't want royalties.
