Looks really good. I bet 1/2 valves throw the car around. I could almost hope mine at 175 psi.

keep an eye on how hard you hit it. After several months on air I noticed my doors sagging a bit in the front of the car.

I had cylinders, they raise the car considerably quicker than strutbags do so you may not experience that. The cylinders had an adjustable valve that controls how fast they inflate. Once while testing I forgot to install the valves and when I just tapped the front switch, the car hopped 8 inches. Scared the crap out of me.

My advice would be to not raise it up real quick with the doors open.
