So my air ride is done
SOme of you may remember the thread from a while back about air suspension on our cars...
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.

thanks...
the rims are 18's... 8f +25 and 9r +33 ... not the most agressive... but they sit fairly flush when i'm at ride height
I'll try and get some more pics during the day when i get the chance
DIN... what do you mean get some air??!?! you're the pioneer man!
