I just lowered the Vibe.

Post by PHXLavaVibe »

I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!I will have some pics coming soon. I took a few in the garage but the lighting stinks.It didn't drop as much as I thought it would though (measurements coming soon too). Will it drop more while setteling? The front is very low but the back doesn't look much different. How far did yours drop?I need some pics of your (Tein S-Tech) lowered Vibe to compair

Thanks for the link/sig. it does look as though the back end of yours sits a little lower than mine. Hopefully it will drop more within the next few days. Where did you find those wheels?

When I first did mine the back was slightly higher, but after I drove it awhile it settled down nicely. Don't them corners feel a lot better now? How much drop did you do?

CHICHI...The corners are heaven so far the drop (measuring the wheel gap) isDriverside Front = 3.5" / 1.4" (2.1" Drop)Driverside Rear = 3.3" / 2.1" (1.2" Drop)Passenger Front = 3.5" / 1.4" (2.1" Drop)Passenger Rear = 3.5" / 2.4" (1.1" Drop)I sure hope it drops more in the Rear as it settles!

Get a strut tower bar... cornering is even better is all I gotta say. With that on there, if you stand beside your car and rock it, it rocks on the tires only, no movement from the suspension. Its tight. don't forget to get an alignment after about a week of driving with it lowered. Gives it time to settle.
