      Air Ride Tech Shockwaves installed

      Here is a slideshow of the Front shockwave air ride. I ordered the ARC1001 complete compressor system today so I can adjust it from my drivers seat instead of the good ol air chuck. It was fairly straight forward I just was hoping for 2" lower once dumped. Now I have to order 2" dropped spindles so it will go lower when I am stopped an the current dropped height I want as my cruise height. That being said any suggestions on a dropped spindle???? Here is the slideshow....

      Looks great man. If you don't mind me asking how much did the front kit run you and what all is included? What did you use to drop the rear?

      I just paid 560.oo for the complete air management system which includes Compressor, tank, pressure switch, all fittings /air lines and the dump/raise switch with gauge. I bought the shockwaves for 400.00 from a fellow member here.

      Thanks! I am unsure of the color. For some reason it looks lighter on every single picture, it is actually darker than it looks. I do know that it is sprayed over a silver base the best I can tell.

      2" dropped spindles and 12" discs added!

      Here is a picture of the installed 2" drop spindles with 12" disc mounted and deflated. The ride height is about 1" higher and totally deflated nothing hits the ground!!

      The install was real easy, hardest part was running the air lines..

      Those spindles made a world of difference in the stance...

      great car. i have lowered spindles on two of my cars and they are great and easy to install and there isn't a performance junky in the world that will say anything bad since all the suspension geometry is kept the same. the only bad is you need an alignment right after. having those bags you may be able to avoid that but you'll eventually want one.
      no, i'm not a star wars nerd.
