Suspension part recommendations 03 FWD

Post by Persephone »

My ride is awful these days. I've gotta do a major overhaul of most of my suspension parts. I'm hoping for a much smoother, quieter ride.

Can you recommend some parts for me? Specifics would be pretty nice, as I'm not an expert on this stuff. But general ideas help too. Thanks guys!

Unless you intend to race or autocross your Vibe, I would just replace the worn-out parts with OEM replacements from Napa, Auto zone, etc. The important thing is to determine what parts are worn out! Vibes ride pretty harsh even with new suspensions. Fixing that might be difficult.

Well I have my shopping list for parts and I will probably do that for the most part. I just thought maybe there would be a thing or two I'd want to splurge on to get the best ride for my money.

I asked almost the exact same question at almost the exact same time :) The answers might be of some use to you:
