Default bagged RS5 from Hawaii (Jun 8 new pics on pg.4)

I been wanting to do this for years and I finally got the chance to bag my ride!!! I chose to go with airrunner because i believe they're the best. i know everyones gonna say "dude you could have got it way cheaper if you went with . . . BLAH BLAH BLAH" I am so so so happy I went with airrunner because the quality is unbeatable and the ride is great. HUGE mahalo (thanks) to Marshall for hookin this whole thing up for me, from the sleek install to the extra small detail things he did for me, I would reccomend any and everyone to see this guy for ANY type of mods you are doing, he knows his stuff!!! This weekend we are doing a custom dual exhaust (had to get rid of my Borla, it was in the way, brand new Borla in box for sale!!!) and after the exhaust were gonna put my five axis lip kit on and who knows whats gonna happen after that! so heres the pics . . .




















water trap, keep the moisture out of the tank!!!






valve manifolds


such a clean install!!, if you didnt know, you would never notice














again, very clean, almost looks OEM.


clean clean clean


at night i couldnt see the switches, put leds baby!!

















I threw the pics of the trunk and spare tire in there so you could see everything is under the car, i still got lots of room to do some killer sounds. This RS5 is tuckin 20x8.5 all the way around ( i wanted staggered but offset with this rim would not have worked with 10 wide in rear) the tires are 30 225 20. The front could go lower but the tire buldges out the fender, maybe ill get a 215 tire next time for the front and stretch it to see if the front will go lower. Everyone who has air ride, post some pics, throw up some details on installs, etc.

wow Kickass ride man. It looks so nice with the lip removed, man do I hate that kit. Those wheels look killer tucked like that. Mad props. Now for some color matched fiberglass work!

i actually sprayed the hood and spoiler with a gold pearl, but its more like a ghost effect, you only see it at certain angles depending on the light. thanks for the input

congrads on the air. Great install, Im jelious. It must be nice to live in a place you can install everything Under the car. Id be to afraid someone here in chicago would mess with it, not to mention the crappy weather. Not sure Im feeling the wheels maybe if you colored the chrome inserts gold like the car it would help tie it all together.

Did those rear shocks come with the kit? I saw in another thread they were shorter by like a 1/2 inch. Id be interested in getting a set for myself.

Here are some pics of my car. (not to take away from yours)
Im on easy street digital system with 5 axis 20x8.5 45mm wheels. 225.30.20s as you can see I can tuck almost an 1/2 inch of rim in the front.

Glad to see people going all out still. The car is looking good keep it up!!

Nick- those shocks did come with the set. KYBs. supossedly theyre made for the airrunner kit. the offset on these rims make it almost impossible to tuck the front, we had to let all the air out at one point to trouble shoot one of the cartridges in the valve and the front can cover the whole tire and go right to the tip of the lip of the rim, but it buldges out the fenders and im afraid its gonna bust!! the rear can tuck down a lil past the lip of the rim no problem, but i got some wide rims, plus those are 20s!! I saw ur pics before, looks good, i prefer a big fat lip on my rims, wish i could go wider. . . I heard easy streets kind of a stiff ride, how do u like yours?

thanks bro, after seeing yours I knew airrunner was the way to go. Im pretty sure u were the first gen 2 with a airrunner kit. I am so happy with the ride quality. tomorrow i go in to do my custom exhaust, soon after that, lip kit goes on . . . hopefully down the road ill be able to pick up a different set of rims, one with a better offset. its not gonna be for a long time though, this stuff cost me some $$$. its worth it though

See if you can set the front camber. I had to set mine all the way negitave for it to work correctly. Now if I loose air I can at least roll without tearing out the fenders...As far as the ride Id say its as good as stock if not better, I wouldnt say its stiff or bouncy. Its just right, but im comming from a track prepped WRX so its subjective. Ill have to see if i can get those shocks, anything to go lower and have more travel.

Andrew wow looking good! First 2nd gen XB on air runner in Hawaii!!! now only get you and me thats on air!!! .. glad i could do your install.. sorry took so long to get everything done.. but like they say Fine Wine Takes Time.. those that are looking to get air.. even though i was the first 2nd gen XB on air and still till today have my UAS set up and not one problem.. spend the cash on the air runner kit. Ride is awsome! no other kit rides like air runner and make sure you hit up Freddy at ..www.autofashionusa.com ..

SO when we puttingon the five axis kit..

Also let me camber the front 3deg.. thank i think it will be fine..

I have my fender roller so lets still roll the rear fenders.
