I suggest you put reinforced DOT approved leader lines at the bags. Those normal airlines are going to fail with all the movement from the suspension. 
Looks great!!!

Ok thanks, Schnitz.

whats full height onthese?? can you show pix?

love it. i just bought a 98. Will be posting pictures & plans very soon. (currently working in the middle of no where) Also going air, but not sure on brand yet. airrex is interesting. You'll have to let me know how it works out for you.

Whats the lowest you can go on those bags? If im on air i want to be as close to the floor as possible! Lookin good man!

I love the ride.  It's very smooth.  You get 15 Level dampening.

Trust me bro.  I love my shit "LOW"...   haha. For Laughs, I drag my guts pulling it in and out of the garage.  lol

The bottom perch is adjustable.  So you can adjust the slamness.  The fronts can go lower, but I gotta cut a hole for my UCA's soon.

The LS got a new toy in the mail today. :-)

Changed my life, RTB..haha
[QUOTE=Sleepy Wagon.;461184]Good stuff man![/QUOTE]
thx Darryl

Careful with the accurair sensors when you're jacking it up, if you have too much sag in the struts you'll tear the sensors off and break the arm. They're like $125 each to replace, ask me how I know.... lol

You get any weird looks laying all your shit out beside the car? haha

i know it very well cause i ordered 2 new ones haha

yeah, them sensors aren't cheap.

Oh and yes.  I got some strange looks from the neighbors as I was laying all the parts out in the parking lot...  which was priceless..haha

Got the kit on finally...So far I'm happy with most of  it but I need more low in the front tho.
