Wheels look great shaved. Like that color on them, too. Nice work on everything sharkade!

At full extension is the car above OEM height with your suspension? Does it ride the same regardless of where you have it set? Is that pic above at full compression or is there some low left in there? Airbag noob here.

Thanks Matthew, at full extension I'm 8 or 9 inches of the ground.
The ride stiffens or softens up according to pressure in the bag, the more pressure the stiffer the less the more bouncy. Too much pressure also equals bouncy btw. The last picture shows the lowest my fronts go. Thats 2 inches off the ground. I can roll but any uneven ground and I bottom out. Here are a few things I will change or add on, camber plates a must, throw the shock bodies on the lathe and cut/thread them into coilovers. Camber and toe adjustments in the rear and a few other things. I'll keep the thread updated as I go along.
