Default huge wheel gap + air shocks = much better

ok So Driveway Customs was at it again this weekend.

And thanx to Stenger for the hookup.

SO, here is what it was at with Tenzo springs,


and now with air shocks, no springs at 110 PSI, all the way up.


an at full drop, fender lip has been beat on and the lip folded flat so that helped.





new pint is in order for this car as well in the near future.:D Trying to find the paint.

and yes full air ride is in the plans for the car in the future. This is just a temp setup to at least level the car out until then.

that xA is running no springs, the ones he had on there would not have compressed low enough for us to even get the shocks on the car. I have heard of a few that are running them with coilovers though.
