just out of curiousity my old friend, do you have a pic of your air set up? like the strut and bag? Im wondering how you are able to get so low? im bagged, and to be honest it doesnt go Nearly as low as i thought. Im using Tein Basic dampers with a UAS bag. when the bag deflates the inner metal tube inside the bag ends up resting on the damper.
car looks perfect man, absolutly flawless exicution. Did you purposly have the rear tuck like that? i personally like.

i still have a lot of threads on the shock tube to go lower. the rear is tubbed up to the body line and i have another ~2" of travel when im all the way down. im assuming you did something similar.
but if the metal tube on your bag is coming in contact with your shock, you probably need to get skinnier coilovers. IIRC i dont recall any tein coilovers being compatible with uas bags, except for the CS coilovers because the others arent skinnier than 2.14". the only pieces that make contact on mine are the lower brackets that rest on the perches and the top bracket hits a rubber stopper. the inner metal tube doesnt hit any part of my damper at any height.
thank you sir. the rear has to tuck for me to be that low. i could hard park "hellaflush" style but i wont be low and it would look kinda dumb at driving height with all the tire gap. this way i can air it up and have a very comfortable ride, be low as hell, and be flush/poking at driving height with F80/R60 psi
your car looks just as low as mine though. the rear fenders on the ridge have lower positioned arches than oem and the kits bumpers are much bigger than the 97 bumpers. my rear maybe slightly lower, but the front looks just about on par as yours.

hmmm..... what plates did you use? and whats the specs on your bags like fully aired up and air down size's??
Im trying to resist the urge for an AC kit... its becoming a stronger urge by the day. I love the 97+ im rocking, but honestly yours just blows mine outa the water, with my SC aired all the way down, it still looks "high".

i used the plates that were included in the kit. the rings were stretched slightly so they could fit snugly over the perches and then they were welded to the bottom plates. not sure what you mean by specs but the aerosport bags deflated are 4" and 9" fully inflated IIRC.
auto couture would look so great! the ac kit and missle quarter panel combo was a dream in mind for a long time when luxurymods was importing the fenders, but going with vertex ended up being cheaper for me. i say do it! make my dream come true haha
