Default Accuair

Hey guys wanna know if anyone has any input on this , I just installed my accuair e level on my is250 fsport awd , the car looks great but the front does not go as low as it should , the back sits great , just the front that's bothersome !! I'm sitting on vossens 20x9 +38 and 20x10 +45 in the rear !! I don't think the wheels are the problem , any help would be greatly appreciated

Hmmm, it's possible you're restricted by the sway bar endlinks? Same issue I had when I was first dropped on AirREX. Picked up some adjustable endlinks and problem solved

hey did you get the right struts for AWD? Not sure what the difference is, but I know they have different ones for AWD and RWD.

I'm on air runners and accuair elevel. The shop that did my set up had to put spacers on my fronts to get necessary clearance. But I have a RWD and currently on my stocks. I would just check to make sure your not hitting any bolts

Yeah I heard the rwd are a lot different than the awd and don't think the spacers will help

If yours is an AWD model, you might want to check and see if the front driveshafts are hitting the subframe. It's a completely different car, but i helped install the air ride on my friend's VW CC and in order to get the car to lay down, we had to notch the sub frame for the driveshaft to clear. But like i said, that's a completely different car. Not sure what the AWD setup looks like on the 3IS. Mines a RWD.

air the car down and use a flash light to try to see what is making it now go down any further?

you probably should've went accuair management only and Airrex AWD application strut/bag setup. you would've got low for sure with that.
