Thanks! No this is one of those cheapy Ebay spoilers, it was $95 shipped/painted but some guys on here get them as low as $60 through a group buy.

I would rather have the Sarona, but at $300 + the cost to get it painted, thats not worth it to me.

You can.

Though the debate is how long stock shocks will last. Some go quicker than others. After talking to a fellow AZiner at a meet a few weeks ago, I think I am going with Tein STech springs. He's run them for a bit and has had no problems!

Drop is exactly what I'm looking for with 19" wheels!

Should be fine, those are 18s I believe. Though the lower you want to go, the more coilovers become a better option.

Looks hot! I've considered doing both the roof and the hood. But that really looks good!

i think you should get some megans coilovers and slam it, will look so clean, the most gap u should have is one finger. HOw did you find a 6sp Mt TL-S? LOL and how much did you pay for it?

Hey TBone, nice car. Love the black roof!

I used to have the Tein S-Tech's on the stock struts and they worked great! I gave that setup to my brother in law and they still are riding smooth till this day. No problems at all. They are also on the type s struts too! I think the drop was roughly around 1.5inch drop. I now have the Tein SS's and couldn't be any happier. BUT the S-Tech's were good also. No complaints! Hope this helps out on your decision.

PEACE!
