what bumper did you pick up? and just a random question, have you ever adjusted the pre tensioners for our cars? I don't want to clutter your build thread so maybe i'll just message you if you have

bc racing coilover sleeve bracket had to be shortened because the bag needs to sit as low possible to clear the chassis

shortened and welded plus a mockup

here is the upper bag bracket that holds the bag in place. the washer was stripped of the zinc plating and was welded on top so when the bag compresses the bracket would be guide to avoid grinding down the coilover threads.

since the bottom was cut for bag clearance this top hat extension allows that shock to be at the correct length for lift.

got everything organized before the install and assembly

Nice progress on your build. I love the matching front and rear camber ����. Did rear camber change any after you bagged it?

Thanks! It's not 100 percent matching so I'm planning changing the rear wheel specs when I get new wheels to have it completely even. At ride height it has different camber specs. When it airs down all the way the camber also goes negative

no real update, air suspension hasnt given me problems with leaks as of now. i got the work vs-tx's tires dismounted and mounted them on my new wheels (most likely temporary haha) i also cut the uca holes, and now it tucks a good bit in the front. i could probably get it to sit alot lower in the front if i did a shortened knuckle setup with camber fucas



i got a good deal on these avant gardes, and i got them powdercoated through my friends ky's guy.
new specs are 19x9.5 +15 fronts and 19x11 +18 which are alot weaker than the works... and i like how they fit alot better... since the rear is 15mm weaker i will be decambering. all around camber should match alot better and not look too ridiculous.

i still need to sell the works, which have proven to be quite hard. once thats out of the way ill have my eye out for a nice kit and hopefully show at wekfest with a more complete gs in my eyes
