      Here's the pics. The first one is 17" stock height and the second one is the drop. The handling was improved 100% with the springs. I live in the country where there's crappy roads and it hasn't rubbed the fenders at all.

      Actually, I like it too.
      My main concern is like I said in some other thread, living in the Poconos with 6 months of snow, I don't know if it's something I should do.

      I'm just going to get a set of winters with a height of 24-25". If I can't get my car out or there's a storm coming, I don't go out. There's too many asses out there and I'm not going to gamble on throwing it into a ditch, it's not worth the $200 a day I make to raise my insurance rates or worse, have to stay at home for a month plus with injuries.

      Hey Whiterat

      What are the part numbers for the Intrax springs? Did you do it yourself? How much did it cost to do the job? Totally awesome lowered (compared to the stock height). I'm now sold on the idea.

      I'll have a look for part number tomorrow. I did it at a friends shop, with him and I, 2 hours taking our time.

      You can probably find a shop that will do a cash job for you, I would guess $100-130 with an alignment would be fair.

      i was gettin quotes of 2-400$ w/out alignments. thats when i opted to just do it myself.
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      CASH is king! You just need to learn how to sweet talk them.
