Slammed Aveo

Funny the reverse rake is caused by the tire wells being cut different from front to back. Look at the bottom of the unibody, its level to the ground. This little beast is still sitting in my garage, running, but has an oil leak around the pan. I was just looking at her the other day after a bath, and am thinking about redoing the interior in the hatch area, and getting her back on the road. The suspension is MK1 coils, front to back I believe Raceland. It was a bear to modify the front to accomodate the shortened bracket, I tell ya. It also has rabbits adjustable endlink kit on her. I cut the spring perches in the rear, and installed the MK1 coilovers there as well. I am thinking about adding helper bags out back to help with the bouncing, or better coils with dampening adjustments.
I also went with 15 x 6.5 in rims with 195's so that the rear tucks inside the low cut fenders with about a good 1/2 inch of clearance. Funny, it rubs inside the front fender wells sometimes, but never in the rear. Next thing is to cut and smooth the front inner fenders to stop the occasional rubbing. BTW, mine was built about the same time as Rabbits, but I had been running intrax springs before that, and originally in 04, when she was new, it was a ghetto chop with about 3 inches of clearance. Check out my garage in this forum. Tell ya what, I was routinely putting 900 miles on her every two weeks in this form until I got my truck. I have had to replace anything on the undercarriage but she is pretty scraped up. I still do get her out, and ease her out of the drive way at a angle just to enjoy the ride for a few minutes.
