Yes, they should fit since the XRS and Vibe GT are basically the same cars mechanically. I wonder how well they will do so keep us informed! As you can see below, mine could use a height adjustment too.
Good luck on it!

"You get what you pay for."
I'd personally be leery of such an important part of your vehicle only costing $64.00. Just my $0.02 though

its being sold on ebay for $64 as a discounted item not that its worth $64.00. I am not worried....if anything I am old school and used to cut springs to lower my cars (that's how it got done back in the days) I have also lowered a car torching the springs again that was back in the days. Never had any incident to talk about by doing it old school. I am sure not worried about a $64 spring made to a specific lower rate and spring rate.
I am sure its made well, way better to any homemade remedy

Any updates on the lowering springs?
The distance lowered and spring rates look really ideal!
