Personally, my general rule of thumb is, if it sits on its rims and the kit is within 10 cm of the ground, it will look stupid with a spoiler. Im removing mine as soon as its lowered, new rims and the rear end is done...

Yeah I was gonna say the FZs still go well for a 1.5. My mate has a maroon one. You see the difference in his FZ to my BZV in a straight line though lol.

Im looking at the BZ-R wing, which I think is super cool, and could possibly (hopefully :lol: ) be found at a wrecking yard....maybe....

The AE111s look cool without a rear spoiler but at the cost of all that precious downforce?? No way!!

Tell us how it sits on those TRD springs - more importantly, how low the rear is....

the kit is dope!! - looking at that for mine too!

That kit is really nice, it just so turns out that i was looking at it about 5 mins before i came on here.

From what people have said, its pretty common tho, and everyone else is getting it, so...

Does anyone have links to any other options for the AE111?

Paying $1000 which is pretty good. Got a mate who does fibreglassing so we working on it. Will have to pay more to get it painted though :(

Im not complaining. Probably will be similar if not the same as the one in my first posts...
