I saw the door cups Brian, I'm not sure I want it that bright so instead of SMD's I was thinking of using regular LED's..just want a subtle glow at night.. hmm...same with the outside door handles.. I was just going to tie it to the side mirror LED's.. I'm going to try to do the side mirrors this weekend..maybe try to figure something out with the lights too..and I'm AJ btw..

Not a problem Kam, when you get the D2 coil on bags and install them make sure at your ride height the wheels dont rub the bags. When I setup Steve's D2 airride his wheels rubbed against the bags slightly when it would hit a dip in the road, causing wear on the bag and eventually causing the bag to leak, and Steve's is a 10.5" wheel, the issue is fixed now though. With your wheel size, dependent on your offset, if it sits further in than Steve's you might have issues too. If it does you would probably need Fig's LCA to go more positive camber to fix the issue. Fig's and I have worked together to create a new design on his LCA to encompass an RCA feature which will lower your ride and in retrospect give you more shock travel and also let you run increased pressure and of course the obvious fix to pull your wheel in and help reduce negative camber.

I've been working with Figs, D2 and ridetech for awhile now and am a dealer as well, also am a dealer for Weds wheels and Super Star wheels. The air ride setup is application specific. I've had to customize my D2 coilovers, ridetech parameter etc to achieve ride height, quality etc. So each kit I would put together would depend on your wheel width, how low your ride height would be, supporting mods like Fig's control arms, toe links, bump stops etc.

Same here Brian, I think on the GS's if we used a regular LED on the outside door handles for that subtle light when you unlock and lock the car it might be pretty cool..but ehh guess trial and error.

I love the airforce struts, it rides low and feels like stock suspension. The AZ compressor it comes with is great too, it Fills the tank quick. But the rest of the kit suck lol.
