Air runner wouldnt let me get this low. The gap is too huge for the F50 up front. Its totally custom. Im now using a bag strut up front.

Really? Im actually sick of it. Its the stock factory spoiler but most people didnt get that option. Im looking into getting a 3 piece junction spoiler.
Oh and I took a couple of quick pics while I was food shopping of my driving height. Its about an inch heigher when I go to Brooklyn becasue the cats scrape everywhere.

Thanks. I appreciated that PS. It gave me a good idea of how it should look. It took alot of work to get the front cambered and sit this flush/low. My only beef now is I cant get a kit unless I go with a 20' wheel because the front bumper has less then an inch clearance when slammed.

Wow... thanks for posting the ride height pics! How many PSI is that, and what does it ride like? i.e. is it possible to compress the suspension by pressing on the boot etc? Or is it pretty stiff?

Ill pm you on that. No I cant make a full turn at that height because it does rub but I can switch lanes at that height.

Not sure the PSI because I do not have a controller. I just tap the front up switch for 1/4 second twice and thats my ride height. That all changes if I have passengers. It rides real smooth at that height. Once it starts to get rougher, then I know im too heigh ;)

Thanks. It did take lots and lots of work to get them to fit but I didnt give up.

My neighbor backed into me (he claims he didnt but he has a history of doing so) and cracked the plate holder bracket. Rather then drilling new holes, I just bolted on the plate with one of the existing holes until I get a new plate bracket.

Are the wheel specs a secret or can you send them to me in a PM if you get a chance? I have a Y34 M45 and am trying to get a feel for what I can do for wheels. I think the fitment would be very similar to what you have on your F50 Q.
Cheers

I dont think that will help you though since my rear fenders were pulled about 1.5 inches and the front fenders were pulled about 1.25 inches and I have a custom front setup to get me some camber. It wasnt easy, took a long time to get everything flush. I had a good inch on poke front and back before.

Looks like the front don't nearly go as high up as the back at full up.

That's because of what he had to do set-up wise. Remember the issues he had with the front bags before? Well, that is all different now so it's not the same front and rear really...which is evident. I was thinking the same as you Dan, but then I remembered his prior dilemma.

Even when I was using the UA setup, the front didnt get much heigher then that. I wouldnt want to go any heigher up front anyways, Im more concerned about the rear since it pokes when I drive.

It makes me wonder if it's resting on the tires "earlier" than it should..ie: the bags are not all down yet, but the front IS all down. That would just mean to have a longer strut up front to make up the difference. It would still allow you to go down just as low, but your all up would be higher.
