Very nice. Wish I lived in a climate that I could have a setup like that.

[quote=XK-Y33 ] very nice bro, i have air runners and the raise/drop action is super slow.... :-[ [/quote] Yeah but i bet you'res rides a lot better!! LOL nice setup btw
1/2" lines, hell yea, thats what im talking about.
tite... ;)
Very nice! Hows your ride compared to stock at different heights? Car looks good. I just want to know how the car rides on bags. :)
you aint got nothing on this [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wMjbgnaNnk&mode=related&search=]fool[/url].
I prefer slower with smaller line/valve.
Pretty nice...but seems like the front does not go as low as the back...especailly when you drove off it seemed more lowrider than an even slam...I would like to see it level...I know that there is a mod that you can do to achieve this but not sure exactly what...have you considered adding some JICs to that set up....I think that would be real nice best of bith worlds..... NIce ride man keep it up.
It rides really good even though im still using the stock struts...u just gotta find that sweet spot...rides better than my cedric did with jic springs.... yeah the front doesnt drop that low either...yeah i know...i'm workin on a way to get it lower in the front....other than that im really satisfied......u should see the look on peoples faces when i drop it right next to them....especially the cholos.................muahahahahahahahaa

[quote=XK-Y33 ] very nice bro, i have air runners and the raise/drop action is super slow.... :-[ [/quote] its super slow because of the 1/4" lines. you can change them to bigger lines but you'll need to get different fittings as well. [quote=elpresidente ] I prefer slower with smaller line/valve. [/quote] i agree.

i want to lol!! but u can kiss your license good bye if u get caught
Ah your reply answered my suspicion that the car is using universal air's strut bags over stock struts. Since the fronts use inserts, you can get short stroke inserts, and then cut down and reweld the strut housings to be able to get the fronts even lower...not to mention the better ride while being lowered with the short stroke struts.
titanium drag bars, bro! lol for you slow people, air regulators can be an option over 1/2 lines
that is fuckin dope!, i must get air after rims
that car is sweet, and here in FL the whole minitruck thing is still in full effect, i just think the 1/2 in lines are a bit much for an EXE/VIP application, and the drag blocks would be way too much... but i am still new to the whole thing so i could be completely wrong :-X

The car is sitting level front and rear. Any lower and the Mud-flapps would be crushed.

This way he will be able to return the car back to stock without costing an arm and a leg to replace out the spindle/strut assembly

then raise the back a bit to make even with the front. slammed while the front up looks lame. it's all in the details. DETAILS.

Dam I need to get 1/2 lines when I get my air sus. I say screw the mud flaps and get that thing down to the ground.
LoL, the first thing i did when i lowered my car is ditch the mudflaps. Sure its great saying "look my mudflaps are less than an inch off the ground", but it really sucks hitting them on every damn bit of road debris and then ripping them off on the first speedhump. I ride lower than that on my coilovers without any problems...
even better check this one out, i dont think he even thought of 1/2" lines and check out the tanks he has, lol [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrbWiZM7YDA&mode=related&search=[/url]
those are probably nitrogen tanks or helium..most peeps using nitrogen but my friends up in arizona said some guys using helium. and that truck is probably using 5/8" line at least along with dual port bags with 2 valves for each wheel for fill. i too prefer slower speeds for more luxury cars. doesnt seem that right to me seeing a lexus etc bouncin quick.
Low... ri ... der... hahaha =P

Someone make some raised tophats, for the front, to get it lower. I ran nitrogen in my isuzu hombre. It had 5/8, and 1/2 valves. With the reg. turned up to anything 250+psi, all four wheels would come off the ground on the first stroke.
