      nope, no need. its a true conversion. the design of the car seems to like it.

      You should probably break this out into a different thread so it gets more attention.

      VERY NICE CAR RABBIT.

      are those adjustable suspension. i heard those go for almost 4000 . 1000 for one coilover

      very nice rims thought i love how the gold compliments the yellow already.

      so where did you get your intake and that sensor thing that goes into the middle of it. i never seen that before really.

      how low can you get with an aveo with regular 16 or 17 inch rims witout scraping and how can u avoid that if you go little lower than 2 inches. i heard 2 was your max without scraping

      well prices for coil overs are all over the place, the coil overs go pretty damn low and still ride nice, all coil over answers are here:


      http://www.aveonetwork.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=563

      as far as rim size questions, thats the beauty of coilovers, you are not at a predetermined height, so if you go from 15" rims to a new set of 17" rims its just a 5 minute adjustment while the wheels are off to raise it a little to accommodate the wheel size difference. but unlike the sport spring you can also get as low as possible until you rub, then go up a hair so you dont.. 2" was how high i was off the ground, not how low from stock i was.

      the sensor on the intake is the 09 design maf sensor. the intake i made out of a honda accord intake.

      ahhh. alot of tire shops tell me that i cant have 16-17''

      and lowering it will cause scraping and such. idk. but thanks for that advice i really want to drop my aveo as low as i can get it but be a daily everyday driving functional....im also aware that i drive around with my own car for a living thats y i have the aveo. i used to have a dodge nitro.

      i daily drive mine, and i am sure our roads are worse than yours. Its not hard driving a lowered car, with less side wall. you just have to learn potholes, and how to avoid them.

      my aveo, even as low as it is, is as high as any of my other daily drivers.
