My bad... I thought those were double-sided tape for some reasons...

Hey, pleaease don't mention about stop modding your car... :sad:

There is double-sided tape on the bottom of the lip spoiler itself. WHat I did was lay the spoiler on the trunk lid, line it up where I want it, tape it down to hold it in place, then I put tape all along the edge of the front of the spoiler. Then I took the spoiler off, and applied adhesive promoter behind the tape and in front of the back of the trunk lid, then I partially peeled the tape backing on the spoiler, and laid it down starting at one end and finishing at the other.

The blue pieces of painters tape let me know where to put adhesive promoter, and where to place the spoiler so it was aligned the same as when I first taped it down.

Hope that makes sense haha.

nice new set up bro. cant wait to see them!

Thanks!

You used adhesion promoter? Didn't just slap on double-sided tape and stick it on?

Correct. I don't trust using the double stick tape on its own with all the weather it would have to endure. Plus I never plan on taking off the spoiler. That's what we used for my roof spoiler, and doesn't budge so I wanted to do the same thing with this.

They're little sticks of 3M liquid, you crack the plastic and then rub it around through the applicator. It basically looks like a white crayon. Then you wait 5 minutes for it to set, then you put on the spoiler.

Ah, I gotcha. I'll have to remember that when I procure my rear pieces.

Looks freaking great chris! 18x8 +30 I'm guessing?

Wait until you get those sleeves, an inch or two lower will do wonders!

What are the rates of your current sportlines versus the new rates of the GCs?

I know the Eibachs are progressive and the GCs are linear, but Im still curious to see the two side-by-side.

So...the Eibachs are...
237-314 lb/in
69-171 lb/in

And the GCs are...
314 to 560(10k)
171 to 450(8k)

Is that right? If so...the GCs are gonna be almost twice as stiff...?
