This is sick! Ive always wanted to see this done

Whoa...we static now. Still looks incredible...even without air. Looking forward to your next project.

Thanks man! The wheels and air ride are gone, so now it's just dumped on the stock wheels. lol I'm still going to put the front lip on and rock it like this for now. I'm probably going to throw a set of full face 22's on later this summer, something that'll be easy to move when we get rid of the car.

Wait so why did you go to coils?

My wife's taking over the 300 as her DD, and I felt more comfortable going with coilovers as opposed to bags. I've had air ride on my cars for the last 8 years without many issues, but for someone who doesn't normally DD a car on air, I felt that this was the best direction to go in. Neither of us wanted to take it 100% back to stock, as we still like to hit the local meets.

Read grasshopper.. was at the top of the page LOL just messing with ya

Well that's a bonus... What's a survival kit you speaking of? I'm going air in the next few weeks, so I'll need that lil kit too haha

Some are more thorough than others with what they carry on road trips, but I'm a big believer in having the right tools and replacement hardware to make sure I can repair most anything that could happen on the road. I carried some extra PTC fittings to splice in new air line, miscellaneous wiring connectors/fuses, a new front/rear bag, and the right tools to be able to get the car in the air as well as replace the basic parts listed above.

Everyone's different, but I didn't like the thought of being stranded.

its even better in real life haha

I do in some circumstances as well. Having said that, this setup rides even tighter than my UAS/adjustable Koni Yellows did on my SRT. I'm a touch below where my lowest #1 AccuAir setting was, and if I left it at that setting when driving the car around the city, I wouldn't have any fenders left by the time I got home.

It's really nice to be able to drive it at this height, although I've had to modify some of my routes. lol I was also one of those who would carry an air ride survival kit when going on road trips, so I don't miss lugging around all that extra equipment. I only had a few issues over the last 7 years, but it was enough to convince me that the things you think never could happen to you... will most definitely end up happening.

God damnit I love this car.

I'm not sure if this was just a freak incident, but my BC's had me thinking I was still on air ride with the "straight out of the box" settings. Only issue is, I couldn't just hit the up switch to gain the necessary clearance for my jacks. I had to get a little inventive, but all is well.

Here's a cell phone shot of what it looked like after I first put it back on the ground to see what the factory settings were like:



After putting it back on the stands, I went around to all four corners to make my adjustments based on what I saw above (the rear was also laid out). Here's how it sat after the second adjustment:



With these wheels, I needed to go lower, so here's where I ended up:





I don't have much memory of what my adjustable Koni Yellows/UAS setup was like, but it feels like a go-cart in comparison to my most recent UAS/stock strut setup. lol I'm very pleased so far! Now for the underside of my car... it's not too happy with the most recent change.
