And so it begins.... (Yakuza_GS project build)
Here's just a few progress sneak preview pics. I just got the car our of storage and brought it to my buddy's shop to get the air ride in stalled. We're about half way done and should be done in the next day or so.

Finally completed installing the Air Force air suspension universal kit. I'm pretty happy with the ride height, comfort and overall outcome. I installed the Dakota Digital pressure and height controller along with 8 solenoid valves for full customization, its not too pretty right now (which is why no photos of the trunk setup) but I might just opt for the Accuair VU4 Selenoid box for a cleaner install. This thing is great!! It displays the pressure on each bag as well as the air tank and holds up to 3 height presets (Low/Med/High). It can also control each individual air bag, or both front or rear at the same time or all four all at once. Now I can't wait till the rubber for my rims to come in. I'll be going for a photoshoot as soon as they come in

Thanks for the comments guys. My tires should be arriving sometime within the next few days.
I had the toughest time trying to find a slow air leak I had in my front right. It would completely deflate after 2 hours. I sprayed down the bag and the connection with soapy water and nothing. then posed the trunk and sprayed the solenoid valves and still nothing. When I finally found the leak, it was leaking right where the connects to the valve. At first I thought it was the valve, but after changing it at it was still leaking in the same spot after changing 3 valves. It turns out the short air line that was connected was not the same make as the rest of the lines. The defective one was really hard on the inside where as the rest was were a little softer making a better seal. So after changing the line I let the car sit for 12 hours and was still sitting at the same PSI. Hooray!! Who would have thought.
