Looks Great

Hey where is a good place to get windows tinted in Pittsburgh?

and yea a "Burgh" meet sounds great

[Aveo_Tuner]

it is on h&r, with the dead coil removed, and all the rubber isolaters changed to thinner poly ones. it seems to be about 2.25" lower than stock, but i didn't measure before i started and it is still the highest car i have owned. but there is about a 1/2" flat wheel gap left to the stock tires. i measured a bunch of other components while i was under there to make coil overs and a rear disc brake conversion kit. but i didnt measure the ride height, or for the wheel offsets. which is what i grabbed the measuring tool for.

just an fyi the car is so light i wont really benefit from a disc conversion unless your just doing it for looks

the suspension is the same on the 09 as it is for all the others. So i got H&R's for an 08 in my search.

where past monroeville? there seem to be like 4 people on this board in pittsburgh.

stupid question the movie zach and miri make a porno was in "monroeville" any idea if they did any real filming there?

and subachad the 18mm front sway is that off the 09 bodystyle? i have an 05

A few of my friends are extras in that movie. They filmed in quite a few places around the city, but i haven't seen it to be able to point out where.

Also on the brakes to discs: while it wont really help the car to stop (unless you do the front also) It will shave about 5-6 lbs overall from the weight of each corner for handling, and about 3-4 lbs of rotating mass for less drag, (feels like a little more hp). And yes looks are part of it, but i also have 11.3" brakes for the front sitting here. So with those combined i should be able to take a few feet off the stopping distance, have better long term braking during racing (the stock aveo brakes had a lot of brake fade last time i was out), and have brakes that will last longer, be easier to diagnose and change.

Hey Rabbit,

You get the Rear Spacers yet?

[petrified.rabbit]

not yet, i have been weighing my options for a 9" rear wheel instead. the $100 could go towards that.

since this is up and running, updated pictures of my car:
