1700 got me:

4 custom bags
4 dual position, single manifold air valves
2 viair 380 compressors
1 - 4 gallon pancake style air tank
2 - dual needle air gauges
1 - 180PSI pressure switch
2 - relay kits
4 - universal mounting plates

+ the cost of my HKS hipermaxes

I did all the work myself, and a friend of mine did the custom welding to make the mounting plates. This setup required no hacking, welding, or anything permanent to my car or the coilovers.

The hoses and fittings I got through my work, I made my own lines and fittings.... the same fittings used in the industrial waste industry (hydraulic stuff)... made out of stainless steel and can withstand 3000+ PSI of pressure.

No plans to make a "kit" as of now

and with the way it handles (performance-wise) still less than going canover

Since then I've decided to custom my own setup following the guidelines and goals that were outlined in that particular thread.

3 months of research, sourcing parts, and putting together a system... my susp is finally done.

The best part? IT DOES EVERYTHING I WANT IT TO!

I can achieve stock ride height at a touch of a button.

I honestly think the car handles better than it did on HKS hipermaxes (the ones made for the JZ chassis was a bit on the soft side)

I've got complete adjustability. Ride height (obviously), but on top of that... I decide my max drop (air all out), dampening, and overall stiffness.

I use the air PSI to determine how stiff/soft i want it.... and then fine tune with the dampening adjustibility. Then finally adjust at what ride height I want this particular setup to ride at.

I've been on it for 2 weeks now and still can't believe how it handles. I honestly thought it would ride like *****... (typical of bagged trucks and what not)... but the complete opposite.

So what did I do?

Wait for the pics and video I want to borrow my friends camcorder and get some footage.
