I met up with rptls08 earlier today to check out what he added to his car, a full custom air-ride system. Ridetech tank and controller (as seen up top) paired with D2 bags.

Here's what the car looks like when the bags are fully inflated...







And here's with the bags fully deflated aka sex mode...







I told you it was sex. More...















I'm jealous of this suspension, I absolutely love it. Ravin has big plans coming up so keep your eyes on his Progress Thread found here:

These wheels and cheap do not belong in the same sentence.

thanks man... when i bought the wheels i never thought i would be on air... specs are 19x9 front 19x10 rear. When i get new wheels (not sure but prob not anytime soon) im going to go super aggressive. I daily drive the car but when i get really aggressive wheels ill be getting a beater to DD. They are WEDS Maverick 110s so they arent cheap but they arent in the 6k range like some VIP wheels.

cost of wheels shouldn't come into play when talking about how they look...some people will sweat some seriously ugly wheels just cause they are a brand name. I don't get that...a nice wheel is a nice wheel.

im NOT talking about weight, and durability etc...purely if a wheel is nice looking.

Yeah i know wheels and i know these arent cheap... just something about them... very clean car very nice suspension setup, but i hear you on going wider now that you have the air ....

Thanks everyone with the picture comments. I'm actually not very happy with the outcome of the pics but it's whatever

Here's a video of the suspension in action. Pretty cool shit...

oh i know what you mean... i bought these because i love the way they look. the fact that they are weds helped me make my decision because i know they make a good product that will last a long time.

He's right I meant rims, I think a set with deeper dishes would look sick on this car.

hell yeah. while i really appreciate everyones nice comments on here. there is nothing more satisfying than being at a red light with the air riding high when a ricer pulls up next to you and gives me the "wtf you need to lower your car look" and then i dump the car. the look is priceless. i have a few buddies who have had air for over a year now and they said that never gets old
