I actually think that render looks too low, at least for me. I don't have any experience with airlift kit, but to me it's at a cost that I much rather put elsewhere (into the car or otherwise).

Looks good though.

kpeng · 08-14-2016, 10:07 PM

That's too low. Please no hella tight bro flush.

Good luck with your modding bug!

I'm actually looking to go really low. I love the look of this render, but I was actually considering getting to the point where I'm tucking!

Pay no mind to this ill-bred prick. His father is probably footing he bill.

OP do your thing. Personally, I'd start with coils (though I've no experience with air). A lot of work goes into getting things just right, and I would imagine even more so for air. Again - I'm no suspension expert, but I can say that my experience with coils has been great. And certainly, they can clear fender gap.

Stlthnmrdrd · 08-15-2016, 12:57 AM

I was gonna get air, but the quote i got for installing air system was about $750 (lowest) - $xxxx amount.. last time i saw, airlift bags and struts were running for 3100, on top of that you're gonna need management (about $1,xxx), etc. In the end it all depends on brand. Some are cheaper and others are more expensive. Some people get coils and do a coil over bag build (meaning they replace the coilover spring to bags) e.g. lets say you got kw coils, you can replace the springs on the coil over system. Even though its expensive, you get the benefits of very good ride quality, and adjustable height with push of a button. If you're not comfortable with spending that much money, getting coilovers is just as good.

Love the look of the car, and especially the drop on the second picture! Not everyone is about the "Low Life" but I really appreciate people who will go through with the suffering of a low car

(currently tucking some tire on KW coils) . Looks awesome in MY IMO. Good luck with whatever path you choose. The second picture with a front lip would make it look way lower too!

jmg · 08-15-2016, 02:43 AM

I prefer function over form and I think your car looks really nice in the top pic. The bottom pic looks like
a: its going to handle like ca-ca
b: It's going to be a pita to drive
c: You're trying really really hard.

LOL. Respect your elders.

MrF30 · 08-15-2016, 10:36 AM

I don't like bags. They ride like sh!t. You can get a cup kit which is a little better.

There isn't a coilover or spring/shock kit out there that will ride well that low. So you're in a tough spot if you want to choose ride quality or aesthetics, but with the H&Rs you have, ride quality has already suffered.

If it were me, I'd just go with coilovers and lower the car to where the finder is just over the tire which is pretty much where you're at now.

I would get a set of adjustable coilovers. You can achieve the low look and fine tune the height to your liking. Be careful going super low, that front bumper will get chewed up on almost everything!

Because that would be way too logical and mature for an online forum
