What happens is the the holes cannot take the stress of the lip bending so the load goes to the next stiffest area: the quarter panel. If you take your time around the holes and use less force the lip will still bend up.
Once I rolled it as much I could with the Eastwood tool, I took a C-clamp and a block of teflon and pinched the lip flat against the quarter panel. Alot more work than shaving; but end result is the same as shaving but with more structural integrity of the quarter panel.

Airtekk airstruts are designed with track use in mind. They have customers that drift their cars on airstruts.
My setup is 4way, so there are 2 valves per bag. That means no sharing of air between the bags, thus no lean or squat/dive

Lol. Made a thread last month saying I was going to photo document my install. I had exactly one person reply so I figured no one cared and I didnt take any photos. Now, so many questions! haha

It all depends what psi you set the bags at (40-120psi). And how you want to set the shocks ( 1 click
softest- 36 clicks hardest) for compression.
Bag psi is equivalent to spring "k" constant. Higher the psi, higher the spring rate=stiffer the feel

It'd be great if you could compare your setup to a 2013 Fsport LS460 because I know how that one feels. It's way better than the 430 Air setup.
I wonder if there's a big different between Airlift and Airtekk LS430 kits, they both claim to be sport yet "soft".
How did you run the air lines and where did you install the air pump? I'd like to hide everything inside the spare tire area using a pancake air tank.
