It definitely looks like it has positive camber. I had it aligned after we bagged it.

It's an Air Lift kit

2. What's the ride quality like? Is it a good compromise between stock and a coilover setup?

3. Do you need an alignment each time you change the ride height? Or just one alignment after installing it.

And sorry if they sound like such newbie questions, but I don't know anything about air setups.

(And I didn't bother searching online as I'm interested in your testimonial first.)

Just saw this, been busy lately.

Price was reasonable. Certainly more than $800, but I went with the Air Lift V2 digital air management.

Ride quality is good. Can't compare to coilovers, but it's better than the s-techs I had. The Air Lift struts are 9-way adjustable, so you can pretty much set the ride as firm or soft as you like.

I set it to the ride height I wanted, then had it aligned at that psi. Riding higher or lower will change the alignment, but them's the breaks.

And thanks everyone for the compliments.

Alignment

I will be doing air in near future, so you get alignment at ride height but when you raise and lower do you lose alignment or back at ride its good?

at ride height it comes back close to within spec of your alignment, depending on how accurately your car comes back to its alignment height. or you could just roll without ever getting an alignment like me

So does anyone know if camber bolts will help with the positive camber issue up front?

I wouldn't recommend passing on the alignment.

not too bad but they're definitely wearing down faster than normal. don't take my advice on not getting alignment lol, get it aligned at your ride height and you should be pretty good even though you air up/down.

edit: Scream, are you foglights OEM with lamin-x vinyl on it? also are you running HID's?
