The kit uses 1/4" lines. It goes down nice and slow. But to lift it up its quick. It goes up much faster then it goes down which is nice.

My bBOX doesnt get as low as others on the forum because of my wheel setup. It gets low enough to where the fenders are sitting on the tire and almost on the rim. Its just where i wanted them. Im sure if i was running some narrow 40 offset wheels i could tuck those easily. Thanks again guys. Ill see some of you tommorrow.
What size wheels you using? and tires? and offset?

Car Nutz in Bellevue WA has leather couches, mini fridges, and a nice surround sound system with a nice big flat screen tv, haha.

Don't see what stops your car from not getting enuf drop... probably the offset.

Yea its the offset bro. Thats the way i wanted it though. I dont want it to tuck. I want the fenders sitting on the tire just above the rim. I'll get pics up.

I can't wait to see to see how it sits when its done. I love that VIP wheel touching fender look. But I wanted to throw sparks more.

ok quick question... what is this VIP stuff? haha.

And with the throwing sparks thing, when I am completely dropped, i don't have anything even being able to touch the ground to throw sparks, but I am thinking of finding a way to put some drag blocks on the car where it won't hurt my car anyway.

i like this description by 'yakuzasoarer' over on the vipstylecars.com forums:

Difference of VIPstyle and VIPcar
-VIPstyle: a styling used on cars that modifies a car to appear Wider, Lower, and Classier. The styling often times resembles the over-riding themes exhibited by VIPcars at the current time. The styling trends have been everything from bright colors with widebody aero kits, to wide wheels, air suspension, and conservative aero styling.

-VIPcar: A group of cars currently accepted as VIP chassis by the major Japanese VIPcar Clubs. Current cars include:
TOYOTA: Celsior (LS), Aristo (GS), Crown Majesta, Crown Athlete, Century
NISSAN: Cima, Q45, Gloria, President, Fuga
Mazda: Sentia (929)

These cars are considered to be VIPcars WITH NO MODS, simply by the chassis, and its acceptance into VIPcar clubs.


ANY car can be VIPstyled, as long as the owner attempts to give the car a wider / lower stance, and gives the car a classier more executive feel. There are not certain mods that need to be done, its more about the finished product. You will know a VIPstyle car when you see one becuase it will exude an overpowering sense of class and an aura will surround it that can not be described in any way OTHER than VIP.

ahhh thanks for the explanation... I'd slap anyone who calls my car "VIP" cuz honestly, i don't like that term (just my opinion). I'm a minitrucker and car custimizer, i build cars to represent the minitruck style, not VIP or Tuner. heh, what a silly term... VIP, haha.

Thats an awesome explanation of VIP.

Air runner is only sold as kit i believe. Each kit is "handpiece'd" and put together. I dont believe they sell things seperately.

Yes VIP isnt just a look, There is a certain feel to it.
