No headlight level sensors, no factory xenon headlights for pre 98 LS's, mines an 96.
BUT, there are the factory air rideheight sensor brackets that I may use. Not sure yet, might make my own brackets depending on the stroke requirements of my suspension. I will be posting a detailed thread on the air install when it happens.

Started to make some good progress the last few days and the list is starting to get smaller.
Trunk air setup is basically done.
Trunk floor and walls are done, just need paint and carpet and can be installed once welding is done.
Sub baffle, surround and frame are all done. Just have to carpet the surround and modify the stock deck cover to fit.
Rear deck is cut and ready for the sub frame to be welded in.
Air lines are run to each corner, bulkheads are in and dump mufflers are installed
Suspension is out of the car, springs and top mounts removed, all cleaned up, SS leader lines are installed on the bags, just have to re-assemble the struts and toss them back in.

Tomorrow we weld in the baffle frame, run the power wire to the trunk, install the trunk setup, plumb and wire up the air, run height sensor harness and build/install the height sensors. Hopefully more but we'll see.


Least productive day ever.... But at least some progress! by ZX3Tuning, on Flickr


All wires run for quick connect/disconnect. Electric tank drain installed and ready for some novelty purges and keeping the tank moisture free. Sub baffle, baffle frame and surround all most finished. Might get the deck cut tonight. by ZX3Tuning, on Flickr


Lines run, everything installed on the board, just need to plumb and connect the wires. by ZX3Tuning, on Flickr


On the hoist and pulled the suspension! @timmy0tool this is what 1.5years of dailying looks like, and 30mins of cleaning yields! Shop is a mess right now! by ZX3Tuning, on Flickr


Stock deck => positioning new sub frame==> cutting ==> fitting new sub frame ===> the aftermath! IB sub! #****yeah by ZX3Tuning, on Flickr

Look at the pics of the coils. You can clearly see the hard lines beside the bags in the background on the tool box!

Why two tanks vs one, was it for packaging purposes? Is there any advantage to having two?

Two tanks for symetric and capacity.
No advantage, just style/complexity!

Hit a major road block last night and couldn't get the car finished in time to make the show today.
Otherwise, everything is basically done now, it's just the little finishing touches that always seem to eat up the most time.

Here are a few pics from yesterday...
