Consensus seems to be Eibach ProKits for mild, safe drop, Eibach Sportlines for a more extreme drop. I've been told that TRD's springs are simply re-labeled Eibach ProKits, and Progress springs are not of very high quality (they continue to settle in and continue to drop too far out of spec).Looks like I'll be going with Eibach Sportlines once my Vibe arrives.

Coil overs. Coil overs, coil overs! Sorry, just had to put my .02 cents in! With coil overs you can adjust from 0-4 normally and can all but guarantee to get the drop you want!!!

I'm leaning towards the Tein S. springs:http://www.optauto.com/webstore/product ... &dept=1680 (Man, that's a long site address, but that's what was at the top of the page...)Lots of drop (2.3" F, 2.1" R), decent price ($US143), supposed to be good quality...Anyone tried them?Also, if the drop was a tad TOO much, I suppose you could pop a rubber/plastic shim under each; they sell them from 1/4" up to 2" thick...

I Just changed out my Eibach 1.5 prolines for a set of progress springs because of the 2.2" drop that they provide. However a set of these may be in the future if the progress springs go to S@$T.[link]http://www.mmrusa.com/skunk.htm[/link]

Not true. The only warrantee that'll void is on your shocks/struts and possibly some front end pieces (if they prove the springs or install caused the problem, which is unlikely). I believe something called the Magnussen-Moss Act protects you from the manufacturer voiding your warrantee for aftermarket pieces.
