Wow the wood trim looks great...nice job! I'll keep an eye out for car when I'm driving around Hudson.

That looks incredible. If the streets in California weren't so terrible, I'd lower mine like that.

Never a dull moment with you, eh, Rally? Congrats on getting your latest mods all together - and I see you're sporting my favorite wheels.

Now what's next?

Rally, LOVE the ride! Looks perfect. Is there any way you could post your exact suspension setup if I wanted to acheive the exact same results? Thanks in advance! I hope to have mine SLAMMED shortly!

Ooops. Nothing too secret, but the majority of the parts were custom fabricated so it's not easily replicated or bolted in.

The basics are that it's air suspension on custom struts shortened to my specs and I had the mounts designed and machined at a local machine shop.

Can you just go ahead and make it into a kit and put it up for sale? Needs to be for less than $500 too. TIA

Kudos on the painted trim... I would have taken the lazy route and used vinyl!

Thanks for the response rally! I agree with fireman, but it could be a lil more than $500!

Mind sharing the total cost to replicate your setup?

Somewhere around 2k in all including the management as well. I've got it outfitted with a digital management system which ups the price a good bit.
