Very clean trunk set up, I like that. Props! Is that LED strip in the trunk your brake and turn signal? (I assume it came from a truck/suv?)

Thanks, my gauges are the dakota digital ones.. so i don't have to run any extra air line, Just ran more wires. LOL Rick (fmkustoms) sells the digital gauges too on his site.

go look in members car gallery i just put some up

sound_xtreme · 03-04-2007, 10:09 PM

you should run your valves in the spare too, much cleaner that way. i spent a small fortune on my fittings though. I think I spent more on fittings than everything else.

AleroME · 03-05-2007, 01:50 PM

If your looking for height .. the air struts isn't the way goto. The max height it will raise up to is equalient to h&r springs lowering springs height.

oh .. you must get your alignment asap. Or you'll have bald tires in around 1000 miles. Due to the toe adjusting being way off. Camber and caster not adjustable. But camber don't need to be adjusted since its at 0 degrees in the front. When you get it aligned, set it to your personal ride height. Then after it being aligned drive it at the aligned height and you'll have no tire wear. For those with a bodykit, the front bumper will need to be taken off to fit on the alignment rack. Thats just some tips for ya new to air ride.

nice install ancona!

ancona46 · 03-05-2007, 03:57 PM

yea im not even driving it till it gets aligned i still got to work out a couple small leaks on some fittings........it only gets driven once a week at most
