PST The Malibu Project

Supper clean ride, I like the coil overs will they work with stock lower control arms?

Yes you can run the coil over with the stock stamped steel arm. I believe there is a member or two that is currently using the coil over conversion with stock arm on here. I personally like the kit because it is a hybrid. I like how the top of the spring rides in the original pocket of the frame verses riding completely in the upper shock mount.

Thanks

Need some opinions ?????? So what does everyone think about the stance. Currently sitting a 1.5" lower in the front.

On another note the car handles AWESOME!!!! I haven't had much road time, so we will be trying out all 19 combinations of Vi-Kings coil-over kit and rear smooth body aluminum shocks on some back country roads this weekend!!!! I do have to say Vi-King makes a quality product that installs with eases and makes every cornering situation a blast.


The Malibu is back in the ground and ready for its first cruise night. But this is not the last of the upgrades we still have brakes and sway bars to install.

Yeah I may have too, my only issue is getting it in the garage and on the lift if I lower it to much.
