Any one with airride is cool in my book, I give you two thumbs up man.
Here is a peek at mine.

I cut some of the fender out in the front to make it go down low and i took off the front sway bar.

after I put on the monro struts and shocks it rides a lot better, the back is actually smoother than stock.

And Donnie, thats why I want to bag mine so bad, so I can join the "cool" crowd.

Easy Street front struts up front. Notched the frame and removed the sway bar. The back has S.S 6 bags with my own brackets and allot of cutting to get the 18's to rub the inter fenders

I removed my swaybar, but did not notch the frame. My axle hits my belt & pulley right now, so if i notched it then it will really be sittin on the pulley. I don''t know what to cut in the back on an xb to get it lower, i have some ideas but not sure if it will work right though.

why does eveyone remove the swa bar, my axles hit on the frame when its down, so taking the sway bar off would do nothing for me, but i do plan on notching and maching a pulley so i can keep my powersteering, but its gonna take some work in the back to get any lower, but i can tuck my 17" so i guess it will do for now

well the xA is a little different than the xB. The big thing is the way the subframe mounts to the body mosty the body itself. The sway bar was hitting before the axles so that why I removed it. I only notched out the frame maybe an 1/2 inch just so there was no way it could rub or worse bend the axle. When it lays out the power steering belt does lay on the axle so I never run the car while the front is all the way down.

Sorry you feel that way man if you send me the money I will gladly build the car the way you want it. To each there own is what I always say. I don't care for RICE or Donks so I would never buy one or build one. I don't go bashing the folks that do have them. I see them at a show or some where and I respect the work that went into them just cause its not what I would do I don't run up on them just to tell them I don't like it. Don't get me wrong everyone has the own likes and dis likes and there is always free speech but some times you have to have respect and keep the negative comments to yourself

hmmm i figured the xa were different but ive heard the same from xb owners and i know that notching the front will drop it some more because ive seen it i just dont know if removing the sway bar on the xb will really do anything except make it looser in the corners, i hate that stupid p/s belt, it gets in my way , but not for to long

If I had the money I'd probably bag my xB.
I went the more inexpensive route: Megan Racing lowering springs and Monroe 5870 Sensatracs.

My .02

The shop that did the work may be a little confused on the concept of air ride. For $3200 that sh*t should be dragg'n frame.A little late on the post,didnt see it till tonite.
