What did you have in mind for the front LCA to add camber?

I would think you'd need to extend the lower to add camber. It might be easier to cut and shorten the upper control arm.Ikeya also makes arms for the SC now if needed. More $$$$

It's going to look awesome with the factory fenders!

i got a lot of work done today since all the parts are now in and pretty much installed

compressor filter -> compressor -> water trap -> tank -> oiler -> valve manifold -> air cylinder



i carpeted the tire well.. it doesnt really look how id like it to, but its much better than the dynamat. i put in all the fittings, mounted the tank and compressors, then had to ghetto fab some brackets for the valve manifolds, i couldnt find them in the box.. oh well. then i cut the lines and attached everything. ill probably finish it tomorrow night. i just need to finish up the wiring and bolt in the front cans. i cant wait to test drive it!

Usually around 2500-3000 if new. I dont believe canovers have the adjustability of rate or rebound. I think the air bomber kit does though...

everything works.. so to speak. i changed the power wire to the ecu from the radio acc to the cig lighter and it powered up. it all works, but the cans wont hold pressure. 3 of them leak slowly - probably the fittings arent tight enough though - and 1 doesnt hold air at all and sprays air out of a tiny pinhole on the back of the can.. fk. ill have to figure this out tomorrow.
