Tks Sir-VRX, I had a look at Mattigins' addition, just not sure... what does the quorum think on the lip/spoiler combo?
I think I would also like to get a rear diffuser. Obviously there are two choices, one that allows a single exhaust and a Talon-style one (replica?) where you can use twin mufflers? Noting that I have a plain old 2ltr, non turbo CVT etc, is this overkill? Your thoughts?
I like the look, but baulk at the extra $300 over the top of a $450 exhaust to make a decent XForce twin etc..
Cheers guys, you really all fire me up to make it better !!!
Thanks all.

I personally don't mind the look of the two spoilers. I've only seen one in the flesh though, and it was in traffic.
If you want a nice rear end, do what I'm doing and get a Ralliart rear bumper. Mine is not costing me anything, as my car got backed into twice lol so the stupid woman's insurance is paying for that. the RA bar is the same price as a regular one too.
It should be on in about 4 weeks, so wait until then and you can see what it'll look like
or just look up a pic of a RA haha

Put in my Kings low and superlows. Took 3 hours.....
Not a dramatic drop, but the handling is far superior to stock. It handles very flat around corners, take off translation is not nearly as dramatic, although loss of braking efficiency is yet to be determined. Less body roll is a pleasing aspect of this cheap-and-cheerful mod...
Although many of you have horror stories about this brand or that brand, I believe most of the issues people espouse is due to a lack of correct corrective action, i.e. camber adjustment or caster correction, the knowledge that a lowered spring will cause eventual failure of a stock-length strut...
The car sits nice and fairly flat, floor to eyebrow is nicely equal at 660mm.
Obviously the stock springs were quieter, but the handling is outstanding.
Not bad for $250 ! Next will be some better KYB struts.
