Yes it is. Definitely if you want the looks of a super low car and the practicality of raising it up for different situations.

In GBP £ the Airlift 3P management was around £1500
Bags / struts around £2000

Fitted myself and with some mates for the cost of some beers and donuts

Got the 437M on today.

Photo is at my low drive height (no turning the front wheels. Straight smooth roads only)

5mm spacer up front to give clearance for the air bag.

No spacer on the rear just natural camber from the drop, could do with maybe a degree more to tuck fully when aired out.

Tyre sizes:
Front 225/40/19 Toyo Proxes Sport
Rear 255/35/19 Toyo Proxes Sport

Couple more after I took for a test drive.
Excuse the dirty car !

I did for a couple of weeks when I was running them on my standard wheels but got paranoid and did the stud conversion so I wouldn't have to worry. Still need to convert the rear hubs to studs at some point.

SuperHamz · 01-10-2022, 06:11 AM

how much was the stud conversion?

£70 eBay job

For 20 studs and nuts

Went for 75mm if I recall which gives room for up to 12mm spacer or if you want / need to use larger then you can get longer studs.

Got the boot all tidied up. Tank mounted up out of the way and compressor and manifold all hidden.

SuperHamz · 01-17-2022, 08:28 AM

That is very neat, my boot is significantly filthier than that currently.

The rest of the car is not following the clean theme. Don't worry 😂

SuperHamz · 01-19-2022, 03:03 AM

It's almost not worth cleaning the outside currently, I wash it and two days later it's completely filthy again.

Thanks mate.

Saving money for my holidays now, need to fix the flared drivers side arch at some point and will need a service in May. Unless anything pops up that takes my fancy I'll be chilling out on the mods for a bit.

As you know I have plans to upgrade something with a B58 at the end of the year so we shall see what happens 🤓😂

Looking amazing with the 437Ms. Very clean.
