so far about 2500 but i still need it aligned and i now need a HO alternator and im getting a plate put on the trans cross member to drag cause its only 1/4 of an inch from the ground so probly about 3000 all in total when finished
i only drove it around the block so far but it seems real bouncy but i did have the bags all the way filled up maybe thats why

I remember when I had my bagged S-10, once you get use to the bags you will find a certain height where the ride is good and your not too low to actually ride around and not catch stuff under your vehicle. Those first few pics I saw of yours, the front end wasn't really all that low, looked to be only about a 1 inch drop...thought you wasted your money. Then I saw those towards the end...looks really good and like the others have said, can't wait till those black rims go back on. I personally always thought that you would have to go with a air cylinder because of lack of space and that you might puncture a bag on a car...but I guess not. Once I get another vehicle, I might bag mine or do air cylinders...not sure yet. Looking good though. Do you have adjustable valves on yours or are they only set on FAST? That S-10 that I had, I had 3/8 inch lines and the back would go down nice and slow, but the front, you would have to inch down or it would slam on the cement?
ancona46
03-05-2007, 07:43 AM
no they arent adjustable they are 1/2 valves so yea they are pretty fast i have to tap the switch so it doesnt slam down,i might get so flow controls for the dumps in time
as for clearance i think i have more with the bags then the springs had the whole assembly is alot smaller

the exhaust pipe that runs down the middle of the car is on the ground
actually i was thinkin of goin with no spoiler.....
no spoiler would be cool, i just always thought with the GT bumpers it looked better having a spoiler than not. a smooth, body kit GA would look better with no spoiler, but thats my .02.
and be careful when you lay low on grass with said exhaust, you will leave a mark :heh:

nice work bro! good pics!
Not quite to drag. When your parked your 1/4" off the ground, but its not driveable cuz the tire is hitting the inside wheelwell. When your driving and trying to drag, the front will be more than 1/4" off the ground. You'll be a good 1" to 1 1/2" or a little more higher when trying to drag the front while driving.
heres some of my dragging pics. mounting in the rear w/ my own custom made brackets for blocks.

Ditch the spoiler, make it clean. If you plan on showing it, I would ditch those vent visors (and yes I know everyone will freak out for me saying it) but if you want it to be totally black and sleek, take all that stuff off- it just makes it look cheap.

Second vid isn't working. I think I know the one you are talking about though... GA that looks just like that one with air ride enters a burnout competition and doesn't even have enough power to break the tires loose. Pretty fun vid.
on topic, looks sweet with the air ride now. Would look good with or w/o a kit, but I also say ditch the wing and get the trunk filled. I think GA's like that going with the lower rider theme look better with a smooth trunk. Other than that, some nice 18's or 19's and that things ready to roll man. Just please please please don't ruin it and get some ugly gawdy chrome 20's.

what a tool. riding dirty on stockers... WTF... lol
looks sexy, but i dont like the spoilerless look.. they always seem like its missing somthing, the back of the car just falls off.. id personaly keep the spoiler.
but id leave the car club name to the rear quarter windows. but not gonna call ya ghey like some others whose car sneezes all the time. but its just not my style
i think you need the black headlights to complete the look. i hated stealth at first, but the more i did it the more i couldnt quit.. till everything was blacked out..
ever thought about black oval tips? just an idea..
hope you carry an fire extinguisher w/ ya.. you drop and poof, your flaming like a neon

I don't get these people that want to put vinyl over their clear corners. That's the whole reason of getting them in the first place, to get rid of the orange. If you just want to put vinyl over them keep the stock lights. I wouldn't want to do that anyway because it blocks the light out put.

Take 'em apart and paint 'em then. It's cheaper than buying a new set of headlights and the oem lights have better lenses than the aftermarket ones. ;) There's a reason the oem's are more expensive.

not sure why anyone would want every factory mod either as its not very original. anyone can do factory mods. but how many ga's are modded to this extent? alot less than ones that are SC/T'd
