anyone have pictures and info on lowering an 09 gt? id like to get about an inch drop if possible and easy to take on and off maybe so if it gets to low i can yank them off and put the stockers in for winter?anyone?

If you only want to go an inch then I'd recommend the TRD springs for the Matrix. They will be just as easy to take on and off as any other lowering spring.Coilovers adjust but I don't know how easy that is.I forget who has the TRD springs, but I know his sig line has the green colorized Vibe.

There are no springs that will work on an '09-'10 Vibe GT (also AWD).vibedrivermatt is the one who has an '09 2.4L Base lowered on TRD springs .

WHAT?!?! Nothing out there to lower it?

Well, this guy used Tein H-Tech springs from the first generation Matrix to lower his '09 AWD Matrix.http://matrixowners.com/topic/...84112

and here's another guy running H-Techs on his XRS, which is the equivalent of the GT w/the IRS.http://matrixowners.com/topic/...t__60

I don't often visit Matrix Owners so I wasn't aware it had been done on an '09+ AWD and XRS.

i usually sit corrected because i have back problems. this thread is about some questions i was just asking Cole (NascarXprt) the other day. i found one of those MatrixOwners forum threads a week or so ago but when i went back to re-read it, i couldn't find it...lol.

Eibach Springs

For the purpose of those searching that want to lower a 2009-10 GT - here is a link to Digglesworth's success at running Tein S-Tech springs on his '09 GT.
