Air Runner Install on the 3rd gen TL
#42
Thanks everyone... I appreciate y'all comments... ![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Hummm... PDX... I'm still rocking out without notes under 80 hz...
I disconnected the two 1000.1 amps cause they aren't being used... but they are still there for asthetic purposes
So no sale on those bad boys right now... but I'll keep you in mind when I decide to change manufacturer... cause for some reason Alpine hasn't sent me any checks from day one

Congrats on your install man. If you love it its all that counts. I don't mean to rain on your parade in any way, but am I the only one that doesn't like the TL so low? I don't know..something just doesn't strike me right about seeing it like that. Again, not taking away from anything OP, I just don't like the style.

Rodney, did you have to modify anything to get the struts in? It looks like a very simple install. Too simple to be true, actually. If all I need is $3gs and some time to bolt up, I think I've changed my mind about buying Teins.
Now, where the hell am I going to mount all this shit and still have a monster sound system.....? I can't give up the sound.
This might be the drawback to the 'too good to be true' saying.

Yes. You are alone in this crazed thinking. ![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)

I also recommend you get the RV-6 Strut bar... it gives you the ability to change the dampening without any issues...

The kit isn't 3Gs... it's over 4Gs...
To install the kit all you need to know is how to properly install fittings (teflon them properly without over-tightening) , running air lines and then just install the struts...
Do it guys ...

Nothing was modified... all I had to do is remove two 10mm bolts (one on each front strut tower) because I purchased the kit made for the '03-'07 Accord Sedan and their strut mount is a little different.

Doesn't seem too bad. I had a custom truck before the TL and was planning a bag setup but it was going to cost a fortune to do it right. Everything had to be modified in order to lay frame.
The TL looks sort of easy to do. I think I'll go with Tein for now. 1G is a lot easier than over 4Gs.

Looks good man, I like the way you setup the trunk stuff neatly together like that. What compressors are you running and it looks like you can get that front a lot lower. Start hacking stuff up to make it happen

I'm using Viair 380C Compressors...
The front can't go any lower because the upper control arm is stopped from moving by the frame of the car...
Personally, I don't want it any lower cause the fender and edge of the 17" wheels are even... So with 19s I'll be tucked a little...

What will really do it would be radiusing the rear fenders about 1"... and then it'll be "money"...

PS: I will never hack up the frame of a car just to get a little lower...

To be honest... when it's on the 5 psi all around... the side skirts are completely even or parallel with the ground. So the drop is even front and back... what makes it look like a "reverse rake" is the difference in fender arch front to back... the front has a more profound radius than the rear like most cars...

^^^ Baller, and wheels at the same time damn. I can say that all the above items cost close to about 7k cause thats what i estimated it to be when i was looking to do the same setup. Rodney you are the man and setting the standard for balla setups. Make all the Hawaii guys small game. I can only wish to have a sick car like you.
