Sorry to break it to you, but you are NOT the first xB2 with air ride. Someone on VIPStyleCars beat you months before.

 

He didn't say his was the 1st, he said "They made my car their 1st one ever on air ride!"

 

Nor did I ever claim to be the first on air ride....

Anyways, I'll have install pics probably today. I've been busy the past few days moving.

 

Here are a few pictures I just took of the install. Ignore the blue and gray wiring on the right, that is for my audio, not the air ride:

 

nice

 

Looks like a nice setup. I retract my previous statement.

 

this makes me very happy! I still have tons of room to install my stereo!!! all under the mat. I do have some questions though. is every thing mounted (screwed in) the the sheetmetal. If so I would get some undercoating asap. also how loud is the compressor mounted there? any weird vibrations? what model compressor? Any issues with the wheels hitting wells or fenders when laid out? sorry for all the questions Im still learning about air...
thanks

No worries about rusting. everything tucks fine and doesn't rub anywhere. Like I said, I can drive with it dropped all the way. Compressor is on some rubber pieces, so it isn't very loud. If you have the radio on even low volume, you can't hear the compressor.

 

nice. Im looking at all different tanks and compressors. Which one do you have? Im assuming 380 or 480. I cant decide if I need 1 or 2... are you thinking about adding a water seperator? Im in chicago and with the weather changes I think its a good idea... keep the info coming I cant wait for a price on this kit.

i can not wait to get my bagged for sure......i love the rims and the way it site. Especially with my body kit it would sit on the ground, but its not the proper way to sit on the ground with a body kit.....gotta lay it out on the frame haha!!!

 

Id love to go lower but I like the safety of being able to still roll with the bags layed out.
I cant wait either.

I really hope you're talking abou laying the body of a truck on the ground! With drop spindles and a notch in the rear just about every truck is going to lay frame. Now if you meant body to lay on the ground then you would have to body drop it, not put a body kit on it. You would definately need to get smacked for that. Back on topic that's a pretty good beginner set up.

 

That's why I said most vehicles won't lay frame (except trucks)....

 

Ummm... You can get fwd cars to lay unibody. I've seen it...

Just an FYI. Look at Randode's old xB. It sure as heck got down...

 

If you wanna lay it out, get the 5axis kit!

 

Again, I said MOST. I know cars can lay frame, I'm not denying that....

 

It's all good! I'm still jealous of you...

Lol!

 

Looks good man!!! glad to see more joining me.. with bagged 2nd gens.. not to many out there..

YOur lifts really high!
anypics of the suspension set up?

 

i know for a fact

i had a 96 accord that layed what i thought was the 'frame'.... turns out it was the tranny... a new tranny pan and 4 new bell housing bolts later i learned it wasn't too cool. but it did scrape.

improper install most likely to blame

 

The Easy Street front struts seem to be ALOT lower than others Ive seen. Very Nice.
