I finally made the choise of which springs or coilover to buy. I ordered a set of Hotchkiss springs for my Vibe. I liked the drop with the Tien coilovers but clearance problems in every day driving would be a problem for me. I already have Hotchkiss bars so I think that their springs would complement my set up best. I also have a K/N Typhoon ordered so when that comes in I will get both installed at the same time. The tuning shop is charging 40$ for the install on the typhoon and 120$ for the springs. Now the wait begins!

I really like how the car rides and handles. It is so stable both in winds on the freeway and around trucks. I can throw it around even with the 16" tires. I think that Hotchkiss has done their engineering on their products! Best $ I have ever spent on a mod!
