Ok, My birthday is coming up, and I was wondering everyone's opinion on which would look better...
Spring Tech Lowering Springs? about 130+installation
or
Razzi Spolier about 280 painted and shipped from spoilerdepot.com
First, i dont think the spring install can be much more than 150.. can it? so they are both the same price. My car exterior wise is stock Tropic Teal.
Also, the Razzi is a bolt on, correct? Because i ordered a spoiler replacement from spoilerdepot.com and it was a PITA to get on, because it didn't fit correctly.
I attatched a pic of my car.. (the pin stripe is gone) and those are 15" rimz

i would say springs.
the razzi spoiler doesn't line up with factory bolt holes so you would need to fill the factory holes, repaint trunk, drill and mount razzi spoiler.

tha razzi doesnt line up with existing holes? damn.. forget that.
cost to fill holes, then get the trunk and spoiler repainted would be pretty damn high..
wouldnt it?
If anyone else has any good appearance mod suggestions for about 300 and under, let me know!

ok, im pretty good with mechanical stuff, but i dont have an impact gun OR spring compressor..
The directions on this site seem very good, the job doesnt look too bad.
Do places Rent out this equipment? (AutoZone, HomeDepot).
Id hate to pay Belle Tire or wherever 150 bucks or more to do something i can do myslef in a day....

You can get a factory imitation spoiler for under 100 unpainted. Of course the springs go first though. Stock Aleros just dont sit right in my opinion, but its also a performance thing too. Your car will handle a lot better. You'll be taking those corners like a pro boy! I'm telling you. So if you go with the springs you an get the factory style spoiler too all for a little over 300.

Autozone will rent out the spring compressors for sure. About the impact im not sure. You should be able to rent one from somewhere. The job can be done with a ratchet it will just take a while.

If he got springs first, would his car be to low to put rims on?
