next upgrade

Now i am moving to my next upgrade on the TL. I Have 01 WDP. The outside is all factory, I just finished up my soundsystem.
Should I:
Lower it or get the Wings West spolier.

When lowering does it void anykind of warranty, and has there been issues with lowering the car like life of the suspension parts and etc. Also what type of springs are the best and how much does it cost. I only wanna lower it about a inch or two.

With the wings west flush mount spoiler does it come painted?

the wings west flush mount spoiler does not come painted. unless you find a private person who will do the painting for you and then ship it (but ure running chances of scratches or something like that during shipping).

if you want to drop it, a one inch drop can be done with H&R OE sports..
more than that and u can use the most popular two:
1. H&R sports ~ 160
2. Comptech ~300

install varies but u gotta check for camber and wait ~1-2weeks for the springs to settle and then get the alignment done

I just looked into the HR's and 160 for springs, 60 for aligment, and about 100 to install maybe?

go for it... jsut remember, eventually ure gonna have to change the shocks/struts. u cud do it all at one shot and not have to do the install and alignment again for it, or just go with this now and pay for it later...

ends up being the same as coilovers (except u can adjust height and stuff with them)

btw, make sure its the OE sports ... since u want 1'' (if u want more, sports)

Is it gonna do damage to the shocks and struts? I though shocks and struts can last upto 100k. Its all the damn compliement items taht get ya, ya know. Like you want alots of bass. So then u buy a 200 dollar subwoofer but no, u need a box, amp, wire kit, and other good stuff. Maybe ill get the spolier.
