Default Christmas came LAAAAATTEEEEE
So I just got these in now, and it took well over 7 months to get these in my hands (order was placed in Oct). But I can't complain considering the rarity of these parts.








With my schedule, I probably won't have it all done for about a month. It's roughly a 3 stage process for me.

One: getting the brackets made for the Air tanks and compressor.
Two: getting the air lines and electronics all wired up.
Three: getting the coilovers installed (ARP wheel studs and AN control arm bolts going in at the same time)

Overall, I'm so excited, I could squeal like a lil school girl.

Thanks to Dusty at MVP for getting me these and helping me along the way.

Dusty at MVP Motorsports got them for me. They ran around 8200 not including shipping for everything.

8200 as in US dollars?

i guess its a fine line between rarity and insanity

more info on the coils please:
single/double/triple adjustable?
external reservoirs?
oil or gas filled? or both?
can they be rebuilt(or only by aragosta)?
