Great build and I will follow this thread.
I remember the days of having a killer sound system and all but then came a wife and kids

I now fill my hatch with groceries and soccer gear.

Front struts are on the left and need the brackets that mount to the knuckle welded onto them. The rears are on the right and the brackets will look similar to what Felix is running on his, which is something like this:

Met with my fab guy yesterday and he felt confident that we could get it done in a weekend. So next weekend is when we plan to get it done. In the meantime I have a few fittings to source and some lines to run.

Looking good!

You might want to add a vent in the floor for your compressors. They get pretty hot......

I really don't want to look. But probably close to 4-4.5k including 'labor' (what money I'm giving my friend for the fab work)

A little of both. The management was a kit from Bagriders. The fronts are a universal kit from Airlift and the rears are a Firestone bag with a bracket fabricated for it.

Considering it isnt aligned very well, pretty good. I have nothing to compare it to other than the stock shocks on skunk2 springs.

Konis ordered for the rear. I should also be flipping the rear bag for more lows. Also plan on getting my fenders rolled even though they are kinda doing it themselves.

Took the fender liners out and cut them. Was rubbing them in a few places.

Sucks to be held up by the front bumper/fender mounting point
