Im waiting on the air struts to ship. Max would be 2 weeks but I hope its less.

I got an update!!!!!!!

So im still waiting on my Airrex struts to ship but, I did get my Air management over the weekend and was able to install it. I decided to go with Accuair's switchspeed A.M.P since it was a complete package and the price was right. Im not sure if I will upgrade to e-Level down the road. what do you guys think?

on to the teaser pic


Dont mind the stains on the trim. My neighbors cat was walking through a puddles and then decided to jump in my car

I might depending on how eager I am to get them installed. I didnt really document the Air management install but I might for the struts. Do you want me to?

I wish I had a boss that would buy me car parts. LOL So the air management from accuair is listed for $1275 MSRP if you call and speak with Jesse from accuair they may be able to help you out.

I ordered the Struts from Forjworks who are the master distributors for Airrex. The struts will run you about $2300 ish.

My total with some discount was slightly under $3500.

DISCLAIMER: No cats were harmed during the install......

Haha this cat is super friendly and playful so it gets too keep all 9 lives.



So I took advantage of the holiday and was able to make some progress on cleaning up the trunk setup. I wanted something where it looked good but I would still be able to throw hella shit in my trunk when needed. So I decided to make a wall with a window to show off the valves and tank. Its not complete yet but its pretty close. What do you guys think?


You will notice that theres no airline because I dont have my air struts yet. I may rearrange the compressor and ECU to show them off a little more and then either paint or carpet the wooden surface.

So here is some of the build progress for the trunk setup.
This is the tank mounted to the board with valves, ecu and compressor.

This is the wall with window to hide all of the ugly components. LOL

This is what it looks like now. I angled the ecu some more and angled/moved in the compressor too.





Teaser!!!!!!!

No pics until the car is washed.

It will only change the camber when I raise or lower the car. I don't plan to always drive super low so I will have it aligned to a comfortable Ride height which will allow the tires to last a little longer.

Thanks guys.

Had a little update for you guys. We ran into a small problem with the air struts top hat. I believe the xlr8 coilovers had the same problem. It's a simple fix but still something that would make you go wtf?

Pic says it all

So I still haven't gotten hi res pics of the car after air. I will do a proper shoot one of these days. I do have some iPhone pics for you guys.

Here's the car raised to max height for "off roading" or speed bumps


Aired out


Trunk setup with LEDs. I installed blue and red so I can switch back and fourth if I want to.



Random pics







That is all.
