Cool, thanx man.
After all my research that is what I came up with but I am glad that someone confirmed my decision.

Also, thanx for postin the link to the pic on the 18's. It is lookin like Intrax will be my choice.
I have almost everything I would need to bag the car but I don't wanna deal with moisture freezing in the air lines in the winter. Plus, my wife said 3 bagged vehicles is enough.
Judging by that pic, a drop on those wheels would stuff the 18's in the wheel wells rather nice, which is what I am goin for. A buddy of mine had 20's on his Scion xB and just got rid of it. He said I could have those rims for a song but I would rather be on something a little more practical.

THanx for the info

If you're going to slam it, definitely head over to a local metal shop and have them make you at least a 1/4" thick skid plate to cover the oil pan... man holes love to pop up on you.

It's really not that bad. I had my lacetti so low that it scraped every speed bump, if it could even get over it. I had it like this for 30k miles without any major issues. Worst thing that happened is the cross member got chewed up a bit. I scraped at least 10 speed bumps a day due to appartments for a little over a year. It's really funny getting it on a lift though and seeing the under side covered in yellow paint.

My front bumper was 6.5" off the ground, rear bumper 8.5", and allot of my peices light motor mounts and cross members were only 3" off the ground.

Has anyone Bagged a Aveo yet???

speed bumps aren't the issue. It's potholes and when they tear up roads to resurface them. The manholes sometimes stick up a good 4"... they'll tear your oil pan right off.

heh, i got my springs done this weekend (what a bitch it was) took it out for a spin, all was good, went to a restaraunt with a slightly steep downgrade to get in to the p-lot. got in fine but comin out i slammed the bottom of my car HARD. point is everything is a hazard with a lowered car.
