Temporary wheels, Volk Racing TE37









What a horrible designed rear fender arch and bumper for low offset slammed cars.

This is how far I was able to get the rear to go down without damaging something. very conservative offset and widths

Mounting the accuair Elevel controller and making some adjustments


Bought a Kuda Mount, *thanks to Silec for showing me it.
and some magnets to mount the elevel controller












Also today found out one of the air hoses in the rear I left some slack on it but the hose ended up getting smashed on a arm. For those who decide to do air and it being their first time, Double check, then triple check and after check again.



Reason why I took a second look and found the smashed hose, This is worrying me that it may rub the back and rupture it.

Others running air that see this, Did you Grind this part down or should it be okay and clear the bag?


Here is air hoses re-ran in the rear to clear all arms. i.e. shorten it and got rid of the slack.






Finally finished Air hose and wire management in the trunk.



All that is left is to dial in the height air'd out and double check airline hoses.
Then have a shop install the E-level sensors that I do not feel confident to install myself.

Getting close to being done......and now the car is officially bagged on the ground!

made some progress over the last couple of weeks.

Mocked up the exomount stuff,


Finished up the Amp sub wiring for later




Test mounted the whole setup. Boy it was heavy!!

Tossed the quarter panels back in to get an idea how the trunk will look when done.



Installed BeatSonic Navi bypass



What you guys think of the stealth location of the bypass button?
I love it.



Did some wire managment
Bought some fabric the Euro Cars use.




And now finally installing the Airrex bags into the car!







Didnt seem to have gotten a whole lot while doing the install and running the lines.
Here's photo of it tossed on with the wheels back on.
Looks slammed even on jack stands. Adjusted them to give the strut more travel.


And BOOM. Air'ed out.

still need to try to see if I can get the rear to sit a bit higher when fully aired out.



Happy Independence Day From stock Height for my car !!!! lol
