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.

spoiler b/c you still have stock rims, when you get new rims then get new springs

Naich 05-18-2004 10:53 AM

yeah go with the springs.

Steve03TropicTeal 05-18-2004 11:04 AM

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!

ptrudel 05-18-2004 11:26 AM

definately go with springs man :thumbsup:

Steve03TropicTeal 05-18-2004 11:34 AM

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....

dadirtybulldog 05-18-2004 11:36 AM

go with the springs dog... it will help to shorten the gap you have from your 15" rims... :thumbsup:

Steve03TropicTeal 05-18-2004 11:38 AM

look here bro.

those are 15"Alloys.

and i keep em clean.





:P

springs
if you were closer i would do it
the razzi kit i mean

BigJon34 05-18-2004 12:11 PM

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.

Honestly, I'd take that 300 and get you and CAI.

1WhiteOSV 05-18-2004 01:32 PM

$300 for a CAI?!?!?!? wtF??...no, definitly go w/ springs (and struts too if u wanna keep a good ride quality)

sound_xtreme 05-18-2004 01:57 PM

you could make your own CAI for like 40 bucks.

OpalaAlero 05-18-2004 02:52 PM

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

jamcllw 05-18-2004 03:01 PM
