leave the under car chin spoiler air dam on it is important for cooling wihtout you will get into trouble, the car will run hot and slow down.

Remove it. Just adds excess air, YOur engine will be fine without it. you Do have a grill and it serves a purpose The temps will not change.

dude just leave it. What is it bothering you cause it hits the ground every where. Just think that if you hear it hit you are ok, but if you remove it and you hear something rub, its your bumper. and thats not good.

don't take it off, your car will pick up on average 20 degrees coolant temp.

i went half way inbetween keepiong it and removing it, i cut 1" of the bottom of it, problem solved. motor ran the same temps, no change there. besides, the last thing you need it to do is hook a rock and kick it into the a/c condensor/heat exchanger/rad

i ran my car without it and i saw no change, its just there to help, i think i possibly saw an average of 2 degrees cooler while driving with it.

ok now my other prob how do i lower my back end on the ksports couse the way how it sites now looks stock i prob droped it about a half an inch but the way the back springs sits is

the bottome spring cuplet(whatever you wanna call it)
the ksport spring
the ksport coil
then the top cutlet that goes into the coilover then into that lil nub that hangs down

is that the correct line up? i followd it on someones how to an he just showd a pic of it an didnt get into detail but i think if i left out that lil coil top i will see a better difference then if i would with it there
