Springs are cut 1 3/4 coils, then added a 1/8" urethane spacer (for an Audi A4 Quatro) at the spring seat.

The spoiler will scrape in dips or speed bumps if I'm not careful, but it's not too bad.

Last question... Did it mount to the front bumper completely flush? I'm checking out some on eBay that include the brackets and bolts.

I doesn't mount to the bumper. No brackets included, or needed. It mounts near the pinch weld under and behind the bumper. I just drilled through the flange on the spoiler and used the six screws it came with to mount through those holes.

No not really, tacky ebay rice products are what they are no matter where you live. But it's your car and you can do as you please.

Thanks, azdave. Knew I had seen a one piece spoiler for the LM. Anyone recall the manufacturer of the after market tubular rear struts for the LM? Found some nice looking items at PMT Fab., but know there are others.

I have halos too! Except you can see mine in the daylight unlike the ones you get on ebay. They are blinding but I have pwm dimmers on them so I can make them as bright as I want. The halo rings have 156 LEDs each and were retrofitted into H4 conversion housings along with morimoto mini H1 bi xenon projectors. I think they look more bmw-esque than ricer myself but different strokes for different folks. And there's my mulholland air dam...

I should apologize for going off like I did, even if it was close to 2 years ago. Everyone has different taste, not everyone will agree on the same look. I know people don't like my car. But in the end I didn't make it the way it is for them. I did it for me. but like always, opinions will vary in the car community.

Question from a newbie...

Does anyone have a source for the REAR lip that the YS cars sported? Or is it just sheet metal?
