Help me choose my springs!

[SLAMDIT]

Hey guys,

So I am getting ready to order my lowering springs and cannot decide what to do. I am not concerened about handling or anything but being as low as I can go. I am plannin on runnin 18 inch wheels with a low pro tire.
I have read all the posts on here dealing with suspension countless times and I can't decide what to do.
I LOVE the car on here with the 3 cut coils but I am not sure if I wanna do that.
My goal is to be crushed on some 18's. If anyone has input, or even better, pics of their lowered aveo on 18's I would appreciate any help. I really wanna see a hatch down on 18's.

Thanx,

Sean

It sounds like you're wanting to slam it...I don't think there's anything available for that... someone correct me if I'm wrong?

Are you looking for the car to be as close to the ground or more of the wheels being up in the fenders? cause you could go with a slightly taller tire (which would be easy w/ 18s) to get them to tuck into the fenders. Your going to have to be very careful on the offset you choose on the wheels so keep that in mind. With my car (it's slammed, not aveo tho) if I move the wheels 3mm in either direction it'll rub.

I wouldn't really reccomend slamming of any vehicle, especially if you're still gonna drive it on roads, one pot hole and good-bye car...

But it's your choice, if I would reccomend one thing, it would be don't cut coils off springs, that's a big big no-no.

wow i can see the rim debate happenin all over again but this time lets mix in the cut springs idea lol.

cut springs=bad idea and ghetto

and 18s will fit but they way too big imo, u would have to pay real close attn to the road when u drivin.

18s make the Aveo look like a boat...

currently the springs offering the biggest drop are Intrax, which offer a 1.5" lowering all the way around... $179...
