Air rides?

My friend has a chrysler** 300, he's sitting on air ride suspension i was wondering if anyone had any idea on how this would would on a TL because thats the quickest way to adjust ride height at least thats what it seems like to me, and i love the slammed look so that's even more of a plus! Heres a pick of his car.

thanks guys and from what ive read over in the TSX threads is this set-up could run for around 3800 dollars thats too much for my blood, my friend got his for around 2k plus install so the air runner kit probably isnt for me. But if i wanna do it right then i guess im gonna have to spend the big bills.

Chalk it up to my opinion, but damn those look horrible. Guess the 'slammed' look isn't for me.

I'm just not a fan of how the rears go inward when slammed. Makes it look broke down. I know its due to wheels tucking in the fender well, but couldn't this be remedied with a flared fender? Not the add-ons but flaring the actual fender

Thats exactly what i was thinking i would be devastated if something were to go wrong, especially with a mod that's so expensive.

That's what it is for me, too. Low is fine, but don't make it look like it's broken.

That's gonna put him in the "Extreme" class.. Is Rodney ready to compete with those boys?

I hope to see his ride in person this summer when I'm up there.

You guys are halarious...

I am on Air as of last weekend... The ride is as smooth if not smoother on certain pressures...

The install I did myself with the help of some friends... I think I might throwup a thread on the install in a few... show people that this install is so simple that a caveman could do it...

BTW... If anyone knows me... I don't do what I do to compete with anyone... I do it to pass the time, have fun and keep myself busy... When you mod to compete you'll never be finished and will enter a never ending cycle... cause basically you can't please everyone...

This is totally true. Glad to see you do it for yourself and not anyone else. That's how I'm doing it.

I've gotten pressure to do some mods that I'm just not comfortable with, so I don't think I'm gonna do them - regardless of the point value.

Fuck i was sold on air when i saw your car in person Jordan. Pictures never do show how sick our cars look on air. Hopefully soon when you come home we can have a photo shoot with 3 of you guys on air and the rest of us on coliovers.

So looking at the pictures of the bagged cars, I'm wondering what's keeping the fronts on all of those cars from going lower? The rears have no problem getting really low it seems but the fronts are all relatively tall in comparison. Axles hitting the frame rail or something? Kinda curious as my VW is bagged and there's a good amount of work involved in getting the fronts lower beyond just getting bags
