James, I knew it would turn out perfect! You car looks so mean now! I wanna see it in person. When my car gets done, I will call you up and maybe head down there.

Default thanks for the messages guys and questions

Why would adding wheel spacers affect the ride height? It's just basically pushing the wheels out to get the look of a better fitment.


Reasoning for the spacers ... I would have to adjust the tow and caster ...again ... Just more than a look ...

It has been modified for the wheels to still be able to drive all the way down .(pancake mode).
and still have 45 % steering capability ... both ways ...

One of the many secrets I was going to show you guys at EOS5 but it wasnt completed ... I know till this day I havent seen anyone else able to do this ..

I can pretty much do a fly in landing while parking ...

This install pretty much took air to a whole new level ... when I was looking into what to buy ... No worries all the locals will see soon ...

It has pretty much become a standard now ... when I go to the car I look for the gauges ... haha Not good when I get into a stock car ...

New part installed ...( thanks will ) only mod in the engine bay ... but No motor upgrades ... ( trd sway bar ) gunmetal

Out of curiousity what does a full air setup run without install?
Completly depends on what you are wanting ... Air is like upgrading everything.. I went on the extreme kit ... All custom and upgrade ... I can hop this car if wanting too ... But wont ever ... have the slow down valves ..

i think kits start at 3500,4500,and 5500 + from the guy i went to ... keeping in mind ... you might want to have more then just a look in the future.. like ride quality, brand , ect... those prices was with install ... though


Any one local who would like to see please pmme I can take you for a ride ...

I personally drive with the front 3/4 up and back 3/4 down ... No worries on scraping and drives great ...

I see.

I guess to me, wheel fitment is more of a concern than being able to steer when it's dumped. I wouldn't be able to anyways, since my sideskirts are touching the ground.

Your system looks good

Would spacers affect performance in any way, besides being able to steer when dumped? I plan on driving my GS4 hard, so I dont want spacers to reduce reliability and performance. I also dont plan on driving while dumped. Another questions, hows the ride quality of Air Runners and those Shockwaves? Which is better? Im looking for decent performance and ride comfort.
