i received my eibach sportline springs on thursday. i've called around to a couple tire places and they won't install for me. so i called my dealership, pines pontiac, who's service department does a great job with my maintenance. the manager said that it's not a good idea to install new suspension because it kills my coverage of suspension on my warranty. well i'm on extended warranty now since i have over 43,000 miles on the vibee. (i need to get an oil change everyother month!) what could possibly go wrong with my suspension? i don't race my car or anything. all i what is a drop! what to do?

if they don't charge to much at the dealer tell them that you want it on and do it. This has been the topic of many conversations on Matrixowners.com, and the thing that will get affected the most is the struts which are not covered under the warranty b/c they are a part that wears out. hope that made some since. By the way there is no bling bling or rice shop around you??

Hey Annie, I bought my Vibe at the same dealership. Who do you see for service? Joe? He's awesome. Anyways, Chris aka Cavemancan, has a Matrix XRS and he has installed the Eibach Sportline springs on his Matrix. If you want, maybe we can help you out install yours. PS Annie, we've just started the MAtrix Vibe Car Club of Florida. It would be wonderful if you would like to join the club.

i love pines pontiac but they said it would cost $500 to install my eibach springs. does it really cost that much? i ordered the springs for less than half than that.

Finally I have the springs installed at TK Performance in Hialeah. They are really nice, gave me a good deal, and did a great job. TK also sells very nice wheels as well. I will have pictures up soon of new & improved VIBEE. p.s. HEY JUAN!! i deleted your # by mistake!
