Due to weather delay. It seems this project will be delayed yet another week.

Waiting for Updates. (mj)

Well. Tuesday was a s*** storm. The PTC fittings in the bags are 1/4" and the air line I has was 3/8". The air manifold is 3/8". So I had to order 4 Fitting reducers to put on the manifold to run the lines to the bags. So install is now postponed till next Tuesday. I do have some pics I'll try to upload later today.

Some Photos.

Took it all off just to put it back on later. Strangely enough it was much harder to put the OEM suspension on and off.

You and me both. I was so frustrated Tuesday. All we had left was running the air lines.

 

[kwaits92]

Got the suspension on. Got the air in. But only way to mount my height sensors is by fabricating a bracket and welding it to the car. Needless to say driving without height sensors on fill stiffness was rough.

Rough? Nah bro you got dis. Looks good mang.

 

[kwaits92]

Quick cell pic. This is with out height sensors and no alignment. So much camber is needed in the front idk if camber bolts are gonna do the trick. But I can order camber plates.

Also I will have to pull and roll rear fenders. Unless someone has found shims to add negative camber.

Well, start off with camber bolts, since they're cheap, and if they don't do the trick, you know someone on here will probably want them. But if you wanna just get the camber plates, get the camber plates.

If I'm wrong, someone correct me, but could you not use camber bolts, and plates, to get some serious camber?

Also, keep an eye out on my build thread today.. I've added a LOT of rear camber.. more than the fronts get with camber bolts. Although, there is a catch to it, so keep an eye out as I'll explain there

I have used both camber bolts and camber plates on cars in the past, serious camber at that point.

Haha nicee

 

[kwaits92]

Officially the only 2 to have elevel installed and functional. (Knock on wood). Quick pic the fronts were on jacks but this is an idea of how low.

 

[kwaits92]

Alignment next Wednesday. I need rear camber too!

 

[kwaits92]

Other photos. The last is how my car feels. Working on correcting that.

 

[CRG Racer24]

Bouncy when it drives? Or what?

And also, nice to see the progress! Gonna look sweet when it's all said and done!

Do you have a rear Touring/GS spoiler on your car? Or any plans for any rear spoiler?

 

[kwaits92]

Yeah super bouncy. Thinking the rear has too much air. And yes I do plan on a spoiler.
