Hey so here is an alternative that I found with only 7. 5 W that can be used as headlight or daytime running lights. They are h13 LED replacements. What do you think? Link...

When driving to the coast during those times what are your driving habits. Were you having to baby the throttle or could you make it in sport mode and enjoy your drive? -Luke

Expect the Spark EV with quick charging provisions to be in showrooms November-December. Thats what the dealers keep telling me. -Luke

From what they told me they take the 7500 and apply it to the loan so that It takes off the 7500 immediately off the end price. They were showing me somewhere around 16k buy option in the end. Is that right? Im still in college so the goal here is to pay as little as possible. Im putting...

Most coil overs have ride height adjustments. Im unsure about the sway bars.

Well, usually a 1" drop wont make that big of a difference as there is quite a bit of wheel gap for the spark ev. A lowering spring kit may also have issues keeping up with the 621 lbs of increased battery weight due to the spring rate that is set up for an ICE Spark. So when it really comes...

Thanks Gra, I was thinking the same thing. Cheers, Luke

Fengsui I just actually was reading your post about this in another section of the forum. I think that using Yokohama S drives might help with the torque steering a little but more at fixing breaking the tires lose in the corners.

...So Im about to get a Spark EV and there is a Spark EV with quick charging provisions on its way should be here in about a month. Are you saying its completely not worth waiting a month for the quick charge option and just get one without it? Id like to occasionally have the option to take it...

It seems to me everyone is most interested in how far they can go versus the obvious advances chevy made to make the car sporty vs their competitors. Range wont be much changed as rolling resistant tires don't do too terribly much. Im interested in getting performance out of the car and trying...

There are only a handful of interesting videos on the spark and practically none of them show acceleration or handling or enjoyment of the vehicle. Please post a morning drive to work or something similar. Maybe some greenlight full launch videos. Whos going to be the first to make a video of a...

Has anyone gone over hwy 17 yet? What range do you have once you get to santa cruz? -Luke

So as I see it there are only two real performance upgrades that I can perform once my Spark EV with DC quick charge arrives. 1. Change Tires to Yokohama S.drives Specifications: Yokohama S.drive Ultra High Performance Summer You want an outstanding blend of dry and wetstreet traction and...
