So far I just got the Struts/Bags
I am still thinking what air management I should go with..
I'm leaning toward the Executive or Pearl Kit or even maybe AccuAir(Only because I like the iLevel)
but I haven't been hearing good things about the wifi connections

I will definitely post up whatever I get here

Everything should still work, but try sending them an email to clarify everything better

I purchased Ridetech for air management. They use bluetooth so you can control via your cell phone.

I have the same AirTekk struts as you, I'd be curious to know what psi you end up running at once you get rolling. Please post up your driving psi when you have it dialed in.

I think you will find setting the dampers ALL the way stiff is going to be pretty jarring LOL. I have fronts at 8 clicks in from max soft and the rears 6 clicks in. 90psi FRONT and 70psi REAR bags.

Update

I'm long over due for an update, but here now so.....

On to the photos!

Once we got the LS on the air setup AA finally got to start working on the body.

Also picked up new cross drilled & slotted rotors from R1Concepts

working on the air management.
I guess I will call this Part one of the air setup

Need to do some final touches here & there, along with an alignment, then I can say the exterior is 90% done.

I thought so I just wasn't a 100% sure. I can see the progress! Looks like you are making some great progress. I'm excited to see the finished product.
