2" drop versus 1.3" drop?

Does anyone have a picture of a base vibe with a 2" drop? I'm trying to decide whether to do a 1.3 or a 2. Not sure and not sure what it would look like.

I have a 1.75" (allegedly) drop with Canuck springs. If you would currently measure your front and rear wheel well heights with a tape measure I could measure mine and get exact numbers. Then use a jack to lift the Vibe to an only 1.3" drop, for comparison.

If yours is dropped 1.75 then I think I will go with a full 2. I like the low low look.

This is a picture of mine, the silver one, on a 2 inch drop with Tein S springs and a stock Vibe I found at our college lol. Hope it helps some!

That looks great to! Isn't your 1.7 though? Not even a huge difference. Kind of hard to tell.

Yeah, it really is. Where is Illinois are you? I could make a quick stop tomorrow while driving to Erie, and you could check it out.

Technically I believe the tein s springs are rated at a 1.9 inch drop but are advertised at 2, so you won't be able to tell much of a difference between 1.7 and 1.9. Thanks shes my baby

what rear number do you have on yours wingnut? I like it lol
