My humble 2007 M35 Build - Daily Driven

Whats up guys. I wanted to start a thread to document my build. I bought the car used for $15k last October. I chose the FUGA because at the time there werent too many out there in the US stance scene. Im starting to see more and more pop up but not as much as the LS/GS and Y33s.

For daily driving I decided going air. This is my first time dealing with bags and I wanted to learn more about it. After shopping around, and compairing accuair vs airlift, i decided to go with airlift because of the easier installation and the controller has built in pressure gauges. I got a great deal for my setup thru Rali @BAGRIDERS. Thanks to Nate from the valley for helping me with purchasing the kit and installation :thumbsup:

UAS bags over D2 Coilovers. Airlift AutoPilot v2 system with a 3 gallon tank. One VIAIR 444 compresser

This is my first air setup and I have nothing to compare it to. With that said, the V2 is very simple and user friendly for beginners like me. The unit has so many features and what I love most is all the presets! The price and numerous functions make the V2 a great option when shopping for management.
