The ride compared to Standard is excellent, It almost feels like standard.. just a tiny bit harder when you go over speed bumps.

But im Very happy with the ride quality, and would highly recommend it.

Pics of were I installed the Gauge and switches and the Trunk install in the wheel well.

that's not a bad idea for a clean install... but what are you going to do when you blow a tire? =0

Thnx, I wanted it to look as Factory finish as possible, not bad for a weekend job with 2 friends.

As for a blown tire..
Since im on 20inch wheels the rolling diameter of the spare wheel isnt the same size anyway.

As I posted earlier, love your car. Just a question, is the pump noise very loud? I 've seen small trucks on air and I hear the pump and think that would be annoying. I am considering coilovers but curious what it would cost to do air?

i'm curious to know the price range as well. I guess this is one way to solve lowered AWD vibrations... as you can drive at stock height and just sit low when you park.

Once All your interior is put back into place, Also your original plactic fllor board were you put the tools into it, cannot be used anymore as the tank is in the way, so I replaced it with a 11mm MDF board cut to size, then placed the top carpet panel on top of that.

It surpress's the noise very well, In cabin almost cannot hear it, with stereo on or A/C on you wont hear the compressor at all,

Out side it is abit loud due to the fact its in the wheel well and there is nothing stopping the sound when you stand behind the car.

Im thinking of placing a sheet of sound deadening mat inside the wheel well directly behind the compressor, so out side the car will not be as loud.
