Hella sunk update LMAO....


Rear shock - FYI.... i have already replaced plastic hose holder with metal ones, with rubber suround.



old Megan Racing Coilover


Power Harness, and Ground (its red cause the accuair ground was not long enough fish through the entire car, and that was extra wire we had LOL, we did not want to ground the system anywhere on spare tire area or trunk, so we routed it too the front to the battery ground and yes i know it is dirty, i still have plans to paint my engine bay LOL


Front bag installed spraying soapy water all over fittings and bag to ensure no hair line leaks anywhere.

FYI do not skimp out on cheap fittings, make sure they are all DOT fittings, and Push to connect if you want to make your life easier LOL. Hit up Zack over at Universal Air he is the Man when it comes to Air.

Finished at 4am LOL, rides like a dream at ride height, feels like stock, thanks to K Sports 36 way adjustable damping coilbags



Next Day Home Depot grabbing random stuff


car is dirty as hell, but its going into Universal Air tomorrow to have the Accuair E-Level sensors installed.

Very nice man! Wish I could ride this low

When you rode this low with your megans.. did your wheels/tires rub on the fender?? Mine's not nearly as low as yours and it's rubbing. It's pissing me off =\

This is after getting it rolled...

^ what part of the fender? Front rear? I still rubbed when turning but it didn't cut anything i dremeled the shit out of my front fenders and then they were hammered flat.


And FYI Accuair E-Level is the greatest thing ever to come to air!! Active system learns your suspension geometry over time and
Compensates for load, effin great. I will have a video of it working hopefully soon

Big Ups to Mike Alexander from Accuair, Eric from K-Sport, Zack from Universal Air, and all the homies from Praxis for helping towards my air goal!


This is how Zack mounted my E-level Sensors, bolted to the body to the sway bars, hard to see but yea u get the idea LOL.

FRONT


REAR


Some quick IPhone 4 shots at the mall LOL, i already dialed in the camber/toe, drive height is within Manufacture spec yay no more extreme tire wear

So sick, how much $$ are you into this project after purchasing the original KSport kit? It must be nice to have those shops local to you, there are very few here in the Tampa area.

small minuscule update Quick Release safety precaution, just because you cant rely on those bearings as they will give out over time.

Well I got the basic kit as that was the only thing available lol. Now they have alot more options. Deluxe pro whatever u call it has 4 pre sets, and wireless fob.

Only thing I kept from ksport is the coilbags, tank, and compressors. Everything else accuair provided, which included ecu, vu4 solenoid, e-level sensors, touchpad, power harness. All fittings and airlines came from universal air or air ride fittings.

i'll come check it out again at wekfest too, my car will probably be in the shadows somewhere.

seems like we'll have quite a few acurazine members there.

so far if my count is correct... you, adrian, eddie, me, lito (staff), and dennis.
