Post Need help!!!

2 questions:

First, I plan to get 19" rims, should i still install the comptech springs to lower it? I'm afraid the rims won't fit after I lower it.
Second, I am looking for a spoiler that looks like the Toyota Solara one. Where can I find one that will fit? The closest I've seen is the WW spoiler but w/o the led.
Thanx,

Ivan

If you're planning on putting 19's you will most definately need to lower your car. You car will be standing too tall if you put such big wheels and not lower it..I recommend Comptech springs, they offer a supple ride without compromising comfort. Make sure the rims you get have a high offset(no less than +45 to +48 to avoid rubbing)As for the wing, I recommend a Wings west wing, which can be seen by going to http://www.acura-tl.com/WingWest.htm

first the 19" depending on the tires should be the same heigh of your original all you are doing is putting more rim for tire. Now the will be a lot wider, depending on the offset it will be wider to the inside not to the outside. If the 19" rub with your OEM springs then it would rub with any other spring. Remember that your springs just ajust the heigh. You shouldn't have a problem lowering the car. You should since it would look and handle a lot better.
