Then, now, and what's to come *Updated 02/15/07*
This is right after I bagged my car for the first time. I was very limited at the time for air suspension so we built one ourselves.

These are the brackets I had (black) and switched to (silver). It helped lower the car more but I sacrificed uppward motion. GRRRRR

After the install this is the slammed height I was able to obtain.


After alot of thought I knew that with the spirits body kit I would have to be able to go higher or I would be in some trouble so I bought a whole different set up for the front and this is what I was able to obtain lowering wise, it does go higher then before too.


Front

Rear

But all this came with a price to pay....

Let's just say to keep a story short, Don't let your air line rub till it gets a hole in it do to being in a rush. Then lets say while your pulled over and trying to replace an airline don't have your friends arm between the fender and tire and have the jack fall. Holy Crap I thought his arm should have been broken but we found out Wayne (Suspended) has arms of steel. LOL I'm glad we are able to laugh about it now.
So after all this I brought my car to a shop today for an estimate and my box should be going into the body shop tomorrow if all goes well, so keep a look out on progress pictures w/ all the Fabulous and Spirits Goodies!!!
Good news is now that my car is lower in the front, I'll be able to prob lay bumper on the ground what do you think?


Plans at the shop besides the obvious is to shave the front fender signals, the rear wiper, and the front face finisher. Pandanky, I'll getting a hold of you soon!
The Mercedes mirror turn signals will be coming soon. Should look like this--->

Once this is done, I'll have to take it a little bit more easy but Next will be the whole interior....

What is the chrome spirit letters and that gas door thing about? Where will they go. Who makes that crazy looking exhaust? That tip looks over exagerated
The Spirits letters is a raised emblem. That other is not a gas door, it is a bonnet emblem. The Spirits emblem is going on the Hatch and i'm prob not going to use the others in order to keep things clean. Also the Exhaust if made to fit perfectly with the Spirits kit because it is a Spirits Exhaust.

Oh ok Thanks. Never heard of an exhaust made for a particular body kit. That's kinda cool. Post up some finished pics when done. I'm having a hard time visualizing the finished pkg. Peace.

They are the most helpful people that believe customer service is priority. It took about 2~3 months to get everything made and then shipped from Japan to Cali then to Florida.
