I'm replacing my struts (w/KYB-GR2) being they are worn and figured it is a good time to buy lowering springs. I'm trying to figure out if the Tein S Tech springs with just over 2 inches of drop is to much for the KYB-GR2's that I'm installing. Also, not 100% sure Tein is the right way. Any input would be appreciated.

I know that KYB recommends no more than a 1-1/2" drop with their shocks. However, our existing shocks are basically the KYB's and people are dropping their Vibes to 2+" all the time. So it would mainly be a matter of what ride quality and ride performance you are looking for. The S-Tech's should be fine. If you want to stay at a drop of 1-1/2" or less then go with the Eibach Pro-Kit, Tein H-Tech or Hotchkis lowering springs.

I've got a 2005 base Vibe and recently installed a set of Tein s lowering springs and they're great..not too low and handle great..check out the first STICKY in the Tech Info & Do-It Yourself Forum and go to the Great How To Modification Index...go to lowering springs..the link is http://matrixowners.com/forums..stallIt has all the instructions and pix on how to do it...easy enough!

Thanx for the info. dix05vibe and BlueCrush. Anyone in North East Jersey that has done this before want in let me know.
