I spent nearly $4,000 on my air system components and hardware. I installed it all myself. Mine sits like this:
Did I get ripped off??...you may think so....but I love my system and I think not!

yep.......and I meant it too. I don't see any point in lowering a vehicle that much. They look broken. An inch or two tops to fill up the fenderwells looks nice. Any more than that makes them look like taco wagons from LA. When I see someone in a car like that, I keep expecting to hear Salsa music blasting and see fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror.

To each his own! If he wants his xB to be dropped and enjoy his car then so be it!

He's not even worth the time to respond to. I agree Most old people don't like lowered cars anyway.

I'll bet that Tialians car is on Universal Air or some AIM universal junk, by a shop without a clue. Thats why its most likely not low....Its got huge long struts in it still. No Offense to Tialian.

My fenders have spacers built into the bottom mounts to push them out, to clear the wheels. They still take a beating. I still have most of my inner fenders....everything that hasn't "self clearanced"

Thanks for the comments guys.
The shop I've been working with is the only one around, but they do good work. They even put a new ground light kit on for free (the other one got tore up in car washes which is one of the reasons I got the air ride - so I could lift the car up avoiding damage and allowing the wheel wells to be washed!).
I'll talk to my guy Norm about making modifications to make it sit lower. I may wait until after I get a new lip kit and a paint job so I can see exactly how low I can go.
And to Starbuck, your generation of ladies aren't into air rides. It just so happens that mine is. You know what they say...
