      It looks sweet, but I cant go that low up here. I would plow the roads when it snowed. I'm gonna get a set of Eibach's I think for my 09'. I had them on my jetta and loved them. Would rather have coilovers, but they're expensive.

      How much of a Spacer do you plan to add in the rear?

      i i measures it, and there is 27mm to sit where the front tires sit, I test fit a 25mm off one of my volkswagens. And that is what i am going with. For cost, i am going to buy the adapter version, and then make it permanent. And if i decide to undo then, i will buy new hubs then. As opposed to pressing in new studs now.

      i found a machinist who will make them to my, and aveo specs for @ 160 shipped.

      Any chance you took a pic of the backside of your wheel?
      Are they a flat mounting surface or have indents between the lug holes?

      So you are NOT replacing studs. You are using the type that uses lugnuts to bolt on and then bolt your wheel on?
      Sorry if the questions sound stupid, but I want specifics and feedback for my next steps.

      Thanks

      For how that much that will cost you might as well trade in your 04 for an 09. At least then you get the new Ecotech 1.6L and OnStar.

      Yeah, I guess you guys probably get more newer cars in the junkyards down there. Our selection up here is limited to say the least.
