2x EAI vavles
1 dual needle air gauge
3 gallon tank
Viair 480 comp

The bags are 1/2" and so are the valves. I have reducer bushings to 1/4" PTC to run 1/4" line all around. (I'm not a fan of fast valves).

air house 2 is a rear bag ...ur front is aero sport !

When I drove home (slow walking pace for about 2 small blocks), when the bag was leaking (full delfated), the tire was rubbing almost to the top of the wheel well, and everywhere else along the front and rear side of wheel well. When I turned the wheel to left the bumper popped off the fender mount in the front, and the fender was pulled to shit. When we turned right, the bumper and fender were pulled into the wheel well. When we were coming up the driveway the wheel was sitting in & on the fender so much we were literally in first, off the clutch, giving it gas and it wouldn't move. We had to back up , get momentum, and give it a pretty good amount of throttle just to get it up the drive way.

I'm 100% sure you're not lower than that hahah. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Dont you have a GD anyways?

Long awaited update.

So the bag finally came, along with new wheels. Since I have yet to see a wheel that I think looks perfect on the fit, and the fact that high offset wheels will hit the bag, i decided to get some low offset wheels that weren't going to break the bank. I decided to get some ESM 002 (BBS RS reps). Now before you get all, "OMG HE GOT REPS" hear me out. I have access to like 300 sets of BBS RS (literally), if I were to make a set like this, I'd probably be in the 3k range all said and done. These cost me around 1100. They were inexpensive, they had awesome sizing, and those guys are totally cool. So I thought, "Why not pick some up to get bag clearance, get great fitment AND help out another tuner shop."

Specs:

ESM 002 16x9 +10mm all around
Falken 912 205/40/16 stretched all around

***SHOTS TO ARIEL FOR THE MOUNTING & BALANCING

****IF YOU WANT A SET OF THESE, GIVE ESM WHEELS A CALL AND ASK FOR ARY, TELL EM DANIEL WITH THE HONDA FIT SENT YOU!
