Thanks guys! Well, I have a set of Lowenhart LSR's coming from RaCinStylez and plan to drop it with a set of Tein Flex coilovers. Prob a set of Tein strut tower bars to follow shortly. I want to keep it clean and classy so I would love to grab a TTE lip and UGO roof spoiler but it seems I have a better chance of finding a leprechaun ......and would need the pot of gold to pay for it if I did find someone selling them. I want to get a subtle roof spoiler but the pictures from Carsons don't show the spoilers very well. I have an Alpine Double Din that i was going to use in the Avant but never got around to it.....so as soon as I decide what speakers and amps i would like to use that will also go in. My background has really been car audio....It was my first job when i was 16 and my best friend was the head installer and fabricator for Polk Audio for years before they sold to Directed.....

Thank you for the positive words and I will update as more mods come.....also.....PLEASE let me know if you have a line on a TTE lip or know of some nice clear roof spoilers with good fitment.
Thanks

Interesting choice on the LSR. I've only seen a few GS with them. It is a love-hate thing with them. The Flex are great but it will depend on your wife. If it will be a "family" car and she is not used to stiff suspensions, she may not be too happy.

He seems to have what you need. Prices are fair, especially the UGO. This is what most of us paid for it new. I have both the TTE and UGO (before they became this popular) and love them. With the increased interest, I am sometimes tempted to sell them but mine are polyurethane'd on. They are not coming off without the possibility of damage. I guess I am just stuck with them.

Good luck with your build.

Well.....I know its not going to feel stock but i thought it would be a happy medium....but yeah she is used to it....the Avant had H&R coilovers on it and they are known for being super harsh.

yeah, I have tried to contact him a few times but he doesn't want to ship. Yeah, the LSR's have been a favorite wheel of mine for years....its very OG to me. Doesnt mean I want to stay with them.... As soon as the car develops into what i hope will be something with some ***** I will prob go with some TE-37........we will see.....its like as I build a car it talks to me and tells me what she wants

I left a message in the FS thread on shipping. Hopefully, the OP can make it happen.
