This kit is a bit lower than the 5axis. I'd be really afraid of totally crusing the kit... Just my advice.

And bags will last quite a while if you know what you're doing. Of course there's always things that can, and more than likely will, go wrong.
Yup, but thats only if you lack common sense lol. I checked out your tail lights on ur 2gen how you like them?

I almost spaced pegs... Good point. The only place I've found that has anything for the xB2 is www.universalairsuspension.com. those guys are really knowledgable and have been in the air suspension game for qutie some time. I've used their products and no rpoblems whatsoever! If you need help with anything let me know. I really enjoy doing air setups... Just not on my new car.



And I love my tails. I've thought about getting them tinted, though. I'm a little indecisive that way!

This reminds me of those lame 'extra' spoilers on the Ford Focus. I'm pretty sure you'd all call that rice... Sorry, that that spoiler on the back of the car is ___.

The spoilers on the Ford Focus comes over from the Ford cosworth Rally racing cars and actually are computer engineered to improve aerodynamics so if that is what they remind you of that is a good thing then.

Damn those side skirts are low. They look as low, if not lower (big maybe) than a xB with Tanabe DF's and the 5-Axis kit. On stock suspension. I'd be hesitant to lower it at all. Guess someone could run 20's with enough tire to take up the wheel gap, and not have to worry about lowering.

I think it's coming together really well.

i had an accord that had a full fiberglass kit, i bagged it and didn't think anything of it, dropped it straight to the ground, then found myself shelling out $1200 to repair/modify the kit to not do it again! on flat ground, it sat 1/4 to 3/4 inch off the ground layed out.

Still waiting on building the bumpers. Seeing how the spoilers work out before investing more money into the bumper developments.
