my car...not low enough 
and my friend (z3ro on the forum's TL)
no airbags for either of us. I think thats sort of cheating when it comes to posting pics of "how low you can go"

if you feel that airrunners are cheating then i won't post a pic in your thread. i respect your opinion and i'm not trying to get bigheaded or anything. like i said before, i was gonna get the flex's but my friend told me that the airruners were on special so i opted to buy those instead. it's a lot more convenient for me because of my decision to build a show car.

Heheh, the joy of driving a slammed car.
but then again ... there's angling the car due to a dip, speed bump, steep driveway/ramp... dodging potholes and bending a rim cause the car was too low to see ahead..
*sigh*

all i have to say is air runner is not the same as canover or hydros...and they have a really smooth ride. they don't make stupid loud noise from dump value...plus damping is adjustable...
air runner is made in japan...lots of vip car used them.
i even saw a video where a mazda fc drift with air ride at the track....
some peeps from hawaii decide to do air runner is because they already reach to the point that coilover is not low enough...from using lower springs on the coilover and or removing the one of the spring perch.
just look at the pics from hawaii cruises on az....all of us ride low and still want to go lower.
to answer the question of this thread....YES YOU CAN GO WAY LOWER....is not low enough

I am not trying to be a dick or anything just saying that I show my car also cause you were the one that said the whole thing about your car being a show car in the first place. I was just saying I show my car and drive it hard both. Not trying to start anything here.

I hope its not the getto setup that people put in trunks where you have to have this big box as I have seen some nice electronic control modules in classic hot rods and such.

i'll get those pics up on saturday when i go to my friends shop to pick up the airrunners! the setup i'm gonna be running isn't ghetto i hope. i'm gonna have the tank mounted to the top of the trunk liner and run the switches in the compartment below the stereo. it has 2 pressure gauges and 4 switches. i'll see if i can find some pics of my friends setup cause i will be running the same thing.
