Thank you CJITTY!
From what I've experienced so far - about 20 minutes - the ride is a little stiffer than "Sport" for those with stock air. I personally like it and I always drove in sport mode so this for me is nice. Definitely a big improvement over stock IMO. But if you like the "cloud-like" ride, this probably isn't for you.
My dampening on the coils is all the way soft as well.

The two warning lights are on and the "check air suspension" in the center is on as well. That doesn't bother me too much, it can get kind of annoying but nothing that is terribly annoying. My next step is to figure out how to get rid of it... that will come down the road.

I will be cleaning the whole car this evening getting it ready for a car show on Saturday, once I do that, I'll take pics and post them tonight for you guys.

There's some play in the bag when the wheels hang, but it goes away when the car is on the ground. Is that the same for you?

Jay,

Look awesome. Is the front and rear all the way down? If you don't mind sharing the wheels and tires sizes?

Thanks Nat! Right now it is the way I have it. I need to play with the bag more to get it to go lower.

My sets up came preset and snugged on tight. Best way to adjust the height is to shorten the shock body instead of lowering the spinner. I will get you pics when I install the wheels so you know what I'm talking about.

[/QUOTE]

21" is the perfect size...Looks like you got some camera skills as well. Photos are very nice. With 21x9.5 +28 in the front, do you still have room to go wider?

Looking so proper Jayhoang. Are you planning on putting spacers up front or ride dirty. The rear is on point
