That's exactly why I'm running air suspension. I wanted to be able to keep it super low, and still be able to get around. Hence, making the aforementioned speed bumps and bad roads irrelevant. Rubbing wouldn't be an issue either way, I was willing to modify the sheetmetal and repaint the car to avoid it. I have a lot of respect for all the guys and girls that daily drive their cars with the coilovers on the absolute lowest setting, I just got tired of it. Maybe I'm getting old. I am surprised however, that my pic stayed up there this long before anyone started hating on the air runner set-up.

No one is hating...

We are just poking fun @ you cause you can just push a button and say Im slammed.

You dont drive it that low (you may I don't know just making a generalized statement).

i think the bags are the way to go. i think that its great for daily riding low and if you come across something questionable. hit the ice cube(three wheel motion) j/k i would run bags if i could afford it. decent ride and looking sexy all the time till i got to get 4x4 on a speed bump. till i get some dough ill continue to drink 40oz of haterade and keep dreaming.

If I had bags, Id drive with them full at all times.
Having bags and having lots of gap is cooler than being slammed to me.

I have full coilovers. All the travel is there as the body is what goes lower. If I jack my car up off the ground my wheels stay in the same spot.

Thats why I get stuck a lot. :-/

Thanks Vince, and thanks Kyle.

Its official, I cant pull into or leave my work parking lot. I have to park next door.
I can barely leave my driveway now.

I also scraped some of the road again getting into the right lane.
Way louder than last time.

I thought they was but its been a while since I seen them I almost was thinking that I would prolly never see a set again but its been so long I had to ask cause. I also was thinking it was the mugen kit but I was sure if it fit the usdm fit, but all in all the combo looks good.
