I cannot comment on Sport+ mode as I did not drive the car too much before and now the AVS is disabled since I have Airrex Strut bags

I ordered 5 Gallon tank with dual compressor setup and Exomount as well.
If you decide to do Airrex and Accuair, I recommend you piece the parts together instead of buying the Elevel kit with Tank compressor etc. The Hoses and some fittings ended up being useless for Airrex setup due to the 1/4 hose input they use. The Accuair kit comes with 3/8 Hose.

nice build topic! Glad your liking the airrex struts..

For those that are thinking of getting the airrex struts and another management. SpecOne was one of the 2 people that got the Airrex Struts before AIrrex changed it. These 3IS Airrex Struts are only sold now as full airrex systems.

AIrrex managements are way easier to isntall and very reliable. IF you dont want the AMS box we also offer out of the box and seamless tanks now for custom installs.

What a horrible designed rear fender arch and bumper for low offset slammed cars.

This is how far I was able to get the rear to go down without damaging something. very conservative offset and widths

19x8.5 +30
19x9.5 +35
225/35/19 and 245/35/19
