The black foam spoilers on the Starion, I have a JB and its starting to peal up and come off, i`d prefer to remove it than fix it but i`m worried that it will leave marks and there might be rust or something similar....whats the best way to take these off??? :x



Edited by Moderator: Please stop typing your entire posts in bold.

Proper way is to remove the fibreglass piece from the rear glass and undo the bolts that hold the spoiler. Reality dictates grabbing the spoiler and yanking it off and finding some way to get the rusted bolts out without dropping them inside and have them rattle around for eternity. Not an easy excercise.

The rear panel that the spoiler is bolted to is made from fibreglass so there is no chance of rust occuring. I think there will be 4 or 5 holes to patch up after removal.

if any one tells you "dont worry about the bolts dropping into the hatch cos you will never hear them rolling around"

DONT BELIEVE THEM

As far as I can see it look like its only glue on the rubber/foam one!!! Weird....So there are bolts on the bottom.........ok

By the way how low can you chop the standard springs on a starion, or do you have to replace them......when you replace the springs can you keep the standard shock as I only want to drop it an inch to and inch and a half??? :beer

Don't chop your springs..

New lowered King's Springs are only around $150/pair so they're not expensive. Your old shocks will be ok unless you want to spend big dollars on custom ones.

Yea it's too dangerous, pay for something that will actually handle well

Yeah thats what i thought, cool.....any particular spring you would recommend.......???

And how much "could" it be dropped on the standard shocks with new springs with out rubbing???

I think the main drama is the rear cannot be dropped much to avoid bottoming the shocks out. Do a search because I'm sure it's been covered before.

I've used Kings and never had a problem. Lovells on the other hand....
