I know a lot of people have the airforce setup in the front im running 18's and I feel it should go a lot lower there's a lot of thread but wont go any farther is that just the way it's setup, if I want to go lower should I get drop spindles?

I'm sure you got this done by now, but I hooked up my remote wire to the amp wire in the rear, so whenever my radio turns on my system is ready.

if i'm not mistaken the thing that stops us from going lower is the actual frame. The wheel hits the frame up front so...

so ACEE maybe you can chime in since you have BOC. My bag keeps spinning while driving and my line keeps getting pulled. What does yours do or how does it keep from turning? and also how do you get more front camber without plates? uggh so much stuff to do!

The piece that clamps the bags together isn't tight, you need to spin it till it gets tight and there is a nut on the top of the bag that you can see from your engine, or from the rear, have someone hold the bag and just use a socket wrench and tighten it down, my buddy slotted his set up but i think the best route to do is buy camber plates, I'm about to buy some here within the next couple days, that way you can have it dialed in just how you want it. I just don't know if camber plates are universal if they are designed for the car or if you have to buy the same brand as the suspension that you have for your build.

what he said....right now I just maxed out my stock camber...which without the fatter tires works perfect for me.

Finally got my camber plates hopefully have time this weekend to put them on, and see what's holding me back from going lower in the front, did you guys take out both of your wheel we'll liners I just took out my front and I've been getting this wierd smell from the tire rubbing the plastic most people tell me to just let it wear through and it'll stop but I feel I should just take them out.

What's everyone's trunk look like? I'm currently redoing mine and will be doing hardlines.

I've got the wood all cut out and ready to start mounting stuff, and I'll need to start looking for carpet soon. Where can I find some fabric that will match the texture and color of the side panels? I'll probably go to a few car audio shops in the near future to get some ideas and see if they would sell me anything that would match.

I thought about doing hardlines, but most of my lines are already hidden I only had the small lines to the vu4, so I didn't see the point of spending the extra $$$$. And when I change everything out I'm hiding the vu4 so you won't even see those line. As for carpet I'm sure in your area there is a local upholstery place. I would say look there. What I end up doing is just getting like the closest color match...and then took some black fabric spray paint...and painted EVERYTHING. That way everything was the same color.

That's a good idea on the spray paint. Most of my lines are hidden now too, my valves are under the floor and lines run behind the tank now. The tank is currently mounted upside down on the top of the trunk. I planned out a way to run them, and I wanted to do something different so I figured I'd go for the hardlines.

New tank, water traps and the rest of my fittings should be arriving today. So hopefully I'll be able to actually start bending the lines and setting it all up. It's not going to be anything complicated, so I'm hoping it'll work out. My last attempt at hardlines didn't end well.

There is a material that is extremely close to the text/look of OEM trunk liner. But I can't wait to see what everything looks like when you done.

Some really awesome cars in this thread! I have a question for everyone in here with aggressive wheel setups. Did you all roll your rear fenders? Or cut/shave them?

I have all of my air parts ready and waiting to go on my car, i'm just waiting on my wheels to be finished. I'm gonna need maximum clearance in the rear and was just wondering what route you all took to fit your rear wheels.
