Well the bag portion of the car is working great ... This time ..


When I got the car back .. small things need to be adjusted too ... Like when the car is in drive ... and brake check in full ... the exhaust is touching my frame Somewhere ...so I need to find out how ... the car is 1 inch away from the frame... have to hunt it down and adjust it because its shaking the car a little bit and bothers me .... the digital air is great and just need to reprogram it and then get the allignment ..

hope everything works out with the set up you had, it looked great ... if this works good then I think My brother is going to copy the set up with his coilovers on his 240 if its a similiar set up ....

yeah.. plenty in oakland and hayward... but its hard to find a reputable shop when it comes to suspension... especially air. so my best advice to you is learn it yourself and get ur friends to help out.

like anything, 2nd time down the road is much easier. good luck.
