As awesome as this build is, it's extremely intimidating for me. I am currently on coilovers and would love to bag my 06 STI for ease of driveability, aesthetics, and comfort. I love the idea of a bagged car. Rode in one and was sold. However, I don't know many folk who tinker around with cars in my neighborhood and I certainly don't know a thing about where to begin with air suspension setups.

I know full kits are generally deemed over priced but I would be happy to pay coin for a kit that included quality parts with everything I need. Seeing holes have to be cut into the bay to get the front that low was extremely intimidating as well. I've seen static Imprezas that low and they havent had to cut into metal.

It seems like you guys have learned a lot from this build with all the parties involved. Any direction/advice for me is greatly appreciated. I have the funds to do the process, just need a little guidance.

It's really not that hard. If you buy a suspension that fits your car (rather than building one) the project is like installing a amp/sub setup and coilovers in one weekend. What I mean by that is the actual air strut install is really not much different then slaping coilovers in, and the control system (management) portion is mostly just a wiring project.

Running the air lines is something new, but if you work carefully, it's very straight forward.

From my research it seems like STIs may not need to have any tubbing done to the bay, some of our STI customers were able to get REALLY low by just hammering the metal out of the way rather than cutting and re-building.

Shoot me a PM if you need any details or pricing on a setup.

i was just in burlington snowboarding! i would have lost my shit if i saw this driving along, love the progress man, it looks awesome

Next time you're in town you should swing by. Just put 'bag riders' into google maps and it will bring you to our shop.
