I did that same harness tuck. Worked out great for me too. A little electrical wrap here, a lil electrical tape there, and last but not least our best favorite accessory.... ZIP TIES!!! lol

I would seriously recommend not using "push-in" fittings right off your bags(more tendency to leak)...and definitely don't use conventional airlines right up to the bags in the wheel wells. Use some high pressure hydraulic lines in the wheel well area as that will take the most abuse for movement and road debris. Steel braided lines are "ok" if need be. Just looking out for ya...as I did that setup a loonnngg time ago and it caused many headaches.

[QUOTE=Kohinoor;4620654]i dunno.. i like instant fittings a lot more than the screw type. theyre easier to work with and have less leak issues from my experience. the lines are protected with tech flex, and if the slim chance of them incurring damage happens they're not hard to change out. same with the fittings - theyre cheap enough to where if they leak its not a problem to change them out. i dont drive much, so its not a huge issue. i appreciate the concern though.[/QUOTE
No worries, I love instant fitting also...and they are super cheap, but if this aint a daily than fawk it. If your running your front lines inside the car than I wouldn't worry too much at all. Your cars gonna be ridiculous either way! Cant wait to see it all said n done

worked on it quite a bit more last night. cleaned up the wiring and raised the perches in the front. the rear can go quite a bit lower, but it would look unbalanced i think.
all up
all down
ride height 85psi F 55psi R. it rides ok now. still need to play around with everything to get it to ride better.
completed wiring. easystreet makes everything so much easier with their autopilot digital kit. id be pulling my hair out with traditional valves/solenoids. i still need to mount the tank. i need another piece of wood for that though. this is all temporary until my audio system goes in.

Lookin' good! Those PSI #'s look about what we used to run on our SC...
Beauty of a hybrid setup, you can simply adjust the position of the bag to achieve better ride quality.

test fitted my wheels just now. i shouldve done this a long time ago lol. i never thought it would fit like this - from my measurements they were gonna stick out for sure. now i know i was wrong. the front looks PERFECT. i dont even need the widebody anymore, but i doubt id be able to get a refund when it comes to port tomorrow haha. oh well, maybe ill throw some meatier tires on and some crazy spacers.

Thats it right there. You've got it down perfect. I wouldnt even play with the camber. Your fitment could not be more perfect. Those rear fenders look great. Do you happen to have a picture of what the inner wells look like? Im having issues with mine. In your pictures with the wheels on, what psi are you sitting at? (Feel free to shoot me a PM with the answer)

i really wish it could stay this way, but i need spacers in the front to run supra tt calipers so i might as well go all the way with the widebody like i intended. i dont have a pic but i can take one for you tomorrow if you want. there was some air, maybe 20-25 psi in the rear at that height (but it was sitting on the tire and couldnt go lower) and 0 in the front.
