naw, the very underside of the front of my side skirt, is about 1/4" .....the back end isnt dropped yet, i gotta create some more air line clearance.

as for the price, 2300+tax.

direct bolt in.....it's not BAGS..it's air struts.

that's:
air tank
air compressor
valves
all the fittings
both gauges
all the air line you'll ever need
all the wire you'll ever need

and it's not that hard to do.

EVERYTHING you need, is in the kit...except the gauge pillar pod :P

you guys ever stop and think maybe thats what he wants?

everyone has personal tastes, nothing is a waste

so he could have gotten like a b16 for that money, maybe hes not into running his car at the track and likes the lowrider look
