Default CarbonGS and Automan Birmingham GS Photoshoot!

Well, after the World of Wheels Show this weekend I stopped by Automan's house to chill and we decided to do a little photo-op since we had some hardware to show off, Automan had his new Universal Air Suspension Kit installed, and the cars were already clean! Please remember that I am not a professional photographer but any criticsm is welcomed. Thanks and enjoy.

Hope you enjoyed!

lol, that is a good freakin question. according to the ISCA our cars only fit under that classification. if we had 2 doors we'd be considered import/tuners but since we have 4 doors the only category we fit under is euro style lol

i was skeptical as well when i first saw it in person all the way down. this is as low as it goes? sadly true, the car is going back to the shop soon and i am sure this will be a topic for discussion. i took a look at it while it was all the way up and the nut from the upper control arm is in the way of his tire going all the way up. when it is all the way down it is sitting on that bolt with the codding pin.

Default Picture Perfect!

Carbon, I can honestly say that I can depend on you to bring us some great shots of whatever event you attend. Congratulations on both of your wins.

Mark, I was wondering the same thing about the drop on your air suspension, but wondered if it was due to the kit preventing it from dropping any lower? It looks really wierd with the tuck look in the rear and not in the front?

thanks wringo, i appreciate the kind words. i just love taking pics and this time the show pics weren't up to par so i needed to redeem myself with these pictures

i know it is layed out all the way. i think it needs to have an adjustment with either the upper control arm or get smaller width wheels to lower it more. it is sitting on the bolt right now hitting the tire up front keeping it from going lower. i think it is going back to the shop to get some things checked out. i am sure that will come up on the list
