    Yeah I did some research and they only put it on the 8G for 99. I painted the air tank and it looks so good fresh. I have had this car for years and just decided to clean it up and seeing the tank got me psyched. I have a charcoal/ red two-tone paint idea in mind for the car. I will take some more pics tomorrow.

    Here are a couple while its still on the lift. I should get the rest my fittings and lines to finish the air ride today. Hopefully I can get it finished up and drive home tomorrow.

    These pics are after the bags were installed and its as low as it will go. I was a little dissapointed at first but it will look good. I am putting 18's with a 38 offset so I think it will look good when it is done.

    Thanks Where is the project section and what is COTM? (Nevermind I just figured it out.)

    The Coors light is mandatory after 5.

    UPS just dropped off the new wheels!

    Im using a kit from airbagit.com. It is a nice setup but you will need extra fittings and braided leader lines to the air struts to do it right imo. Thats what I am waiting for now.

    To get the front end to go lower I pulled out a 1/4 inch spacer that they sugguest you use but I didn't really see the point in it. I am thinking of moving the strut mount on top of the strut tower to get the front to drop about a 1/2 inch more. It looks like I can slot the strut at the knuckle and get another 1/4 inch doing that too. I want to tuck the front tire so we will see if it will work.

    Heres how it sits now with the new wheels and no air in the system bottomed out. The lift arms can swing out without hitting.




    Here is a pic of the fresh paint on the tank. I cant wait to paint the car. It is going to look soo awesome!
