the rear is a normal disk unlike your low disk in the rear so its got a 2.5"lip rather than your awesome lip
nothing wrong with those offsets Mike! That's the cleanest Kermit the Frog colored XB ever!

Ohhhh noOoooo!!! Blown bag es no bueno!!! Did it blow from rubbing on something or too much pressure or what?

That sucks for sure!!! Depending on where you're at and how much cash you have, I probably know at the very least one person down there that has bags. :D

^ LOL!

yea the bag blew.. i dont know if this makes sense, but the bag was rubbing on the lip that seats "holds" the rear springs in place.. like it wouldnt rub at full pressure/height but thats way too stiff to drive so at like a comfortable driving pressure/height it would rub and i knew that it would blow in roughly this time, i just didnt expect it to blow down there.. its been three weeks and the guy said that he is done and should be back this friday.. i miss the box!!!

I know precisely what you're talking about. I remember Stylis saying that he got rid of the lower cup and bolted the bag directly to the lower cup/perch. I think it was on the VSC forum when the setup was still on Grant's. But that immediately threw flags up to me. I couldn't say anything because I was still in the 101!!! Lol! I'd definitely put the cup back in the bottom. If it's still not low enough, you could drill out the spot welds off the upper nipple that's used to seat and hold the spring. That's at least my plan. :D

Hopefully you get it back soon! It's one of my favorite xB's out there.

well as of now i got a guy thats pretty experienced with air and he is going to make it work. rather than having the top cup welded its going to be bolted in so that in the future the repair/removal will be soooo much easier and he is going to put the bottom cup in.

with some modifications to the top mount its still going to be lower than the other air kits, but at least this time around i wouldnt have problems with the bag rubbing.

on a separate note, vsc now opened up so that 101 people can post elsewhere. but ive given up on that site.. its way too busy and too many people coming in to the sight that basically are going donk style and think its jdm vipstyle
