Little preview of what's coming.

Rear Driver


Rear Passenger


BTW those are 18s tucked in there.

 

It doesn't look like you're laying frame on the ground, so NO it's not low enough.




j/k

 

Something looks broken hahaha. JK not looking to bad

 

looks like some crazy toe going on there...

CIONIDE: A man who knows what he is talking about...lol, when I ran with the minitruck circles we spouted the same words. But it looks nice anyway.

 

wow what are you on?

 

At this point my limiting fator is that the body is sitting on the tire but I'm going to try a few more tricks.

Nope, just the angle of the shot. Both toe and camber are stock.

You're favorite, Easystreet.

 

LOL watchout for the front struts. making noises and than leaking through that top bearing plate bushing. rears are awsome on the easy street.

 

OK, so this took about a week longer than expected due to the shop I have access to being swamped with paying customers last week. But now I am able to get my box as low as possible with the rims and tires I have right now.

First off a coupld shots of the air system. Standard Air Lift '08-up Scion xB kit with the standard tank swapped for an AVS 5-gal 9-port aluminium side mount tank.


everything is mounted up to a 0.10" aluminium plate that bolts to the frame and has a 6" drop at the rear end for the tank.


Stock shots with the rear bags.

Driver side



Passenger side





Now how to acheive a possible extra 2" of drop over what can normally be done.;)

In my case you get a spare axle since the car is a DD, have you friendly neighborhood welder do a little modification, take it to the powdercoater, and up go the hub mounts, and part of the axle, by 2".
























Next you need a few spare brake lines since the stock ones no longer reach.


Now you take your stock line


And bend new ones to match, with a little extra.








While we had everything off I decided to have the e-brake lines sheathed in dark purple Techflex to match the hoses under the hood.






Take a quick break to pet the shop guard dog.


Then bolt everything back up.






Air the bags up so you can get it off the lift.*tu* Ten air back out to see where you end up.





Daily ride height to clear the driveway.



All the way down.


And random other shots in around and under the car.














Only have to air up about 8-10 lbs. more than before to keep the same height but the ride is sooo much better, no more bottoming out and bouncing the rear end around due to being well out of the shocks effective use range. All in all a wonderful change in ride.

Big thanks to Jason at Nightwerks Customs for the use of the lift, doing most of the heavy lifting and wrenching, and making the new brake lines.

 

Too good.

 

Just wow... plus a little drool.

 

So sick man! Good work!

 

Thanks guys.

Now you can see why I am contemplating the 215s.

 

Hell yes, dude!!! Puttin in work!

 

i saw this car at the oxnard car show and wow i love so sick!

 

Mean! you should post thin on air society! Your welder did some sick work!

I notice your on the OEM shocks.. I know that the OEM prevents the car from going lower..

Have you tried unbolting the the bottom of the shock and than droping it down. I think if you put a shorter shock like the Seinna shock you woud lay the frame on the ground.

I know that when i put shorter shocks i could get the back to go an inch lower.

 

marshall, do you guys sell the adapters for the sienna shocks?

 

Marshal, I am on Air Society, same screen name even. The shocks aren't my limiting factor with this set-up since the lower mount is 2" lower than factory. My limiting factor is that the body sits on the tire when I'm aired out. If I could manage to get the tire to clear I would be able to lay body.

 

Tub it!

 

If I thought it would help I would but I'm actually hitting on the arch where the door closes. I would have to modify the door as well to tub it.
