I had no negative effects on my car. Now that sayd, performance coils are always better but sometimes when you don't have the cash u got to be creative...
Anyone have any imput od the HR, BM and Eibach springs? I got 17' with low pro tires.
Any other ideas on how to improve handling? I mean whats the best band for the buck?
Do those braces make a difference u can feel on the handling?
My aveo has 17s with 205/40 r17 tires, after rims were on, I did an alignment, no issues, a year and a half later, i ordered eibach springs and KYB shocks and struts (eibach and KYBs ordered the same day), following week, eibachs arrived, I installed the eibachs put car on alignment rack, no issues, even with the lowering springs all measurement were within stock specs, 5 months later when the KYBs finally arrived, I installed the shocks and struts with the eibachs, again, I put my aveo on the alignment rack, everything still within spec. last week, I double checked the alignment because I was taking a 5 hour drive, everything was still within spec. the only tire wear I get is from the rear and that is due to the factory spec neg camber, one of these days I am going to order the rear camber shims
