Thanks dude, I'm so happy with how it turned out. Send me a text I got a new phone and lost my contacts.

I will when I have a phone again lol. I jumped in a hot tub and forgot that I had my phone in my pocket

Hopefully I'll have another one within the next couple of days.

Damn, that looks great! I cant wait til I can get my air setup, definitely will be going to bag riders and getting a universal kit. You made it looks so easy. You coming down to GA for SOWO this weekend? Theres gonna be at least one e30 there with air on it.

Was wanting to, but with having to wait for a new rear bag, I don't think ill be able to make it.

And its not too bad, mounting the rears is tricky but you'll get it.

Holy crap, Nick. That looks so much better than I could even imagine. You should bring this down to Texas for Wekfest haha

It's absolutely perfect.

Welp, she's done, kinda. Basically, pulled the fronts a little, 6mm spacer to clear the struts. Everything was good, drove around the block all was well. Went to drive to help my buddy install his bag setup on his MKV, drove 5 minutes away, lost all pressure in my passenger rear bag. Axle rubbed through it. I guess I mounted it too close. So this weekend ill replace it and mount it a little bit further up, and while it sucks, I can't say I'm not happy. These shitty pics I'm about to toss up do the car no justice at all.

Car is laying on the front tires. Need a 40 series to lay out, but you live and learn.















Front strut setup. Cut original strut tube down, weld sleeve over it, weld shock to sleeve where damper knob cut out is, cut top hat into a triangle and drilled for studs for the upper mount. Also put a bolt and nut all the way through at the bottom because welding cast is sketchy enough and I don't want to put this car into a wall.





Thanks to BagRiders, White325is for the guide on R3V for insight, AirLift, and all my friends and my Dad who helped. Ill continue to update this, but this is how she sits for now.

Nice Nick, I'm glad to see this coming along! Sucks about the front fitment but you'll get it dialed!

Thanks appreciate all the help from you guys. Everything worked out great with the management and front struts!

Yeah it won't be a big deal to pull them a bit. Hopefully Ill have pics up tomorrow of the finished car.

So pictures will be posted in a week?

Nah ill have them up tomorrow.

Magazine pulls have worked well for me in the past. And with air it's even easier because you can go up and down and pull as softly or as hard as you need to.
Still miss your Forestor and WRX, but really loving this thing!

Word thats what I was thinking. Thanks man, I miss both too.

Still on those Eurolines on your bug?

Yeah I thought I remembered him running them. I just don't have the cash for them. I would rather run them to add some more front camber anyways since I don't have much, but the funds just aren't there. Just gonna magazine pull the fronts until they clear.

The main problem I had when I rolled the fronts was the roller would not fit on the hub with the strut bolted into the upper mount, so I had to drop the whole knuckle onto a jack and roll them. Without the strut bolted up, I couldn't get any leverage. Finally I got them rolled flat, but there would be no way to pull them with a roller I wouldn't be able to get enough leverage. So magazine pull it is.

Talk to White325is on r3v, or on here if hes on here. He might be able to help you figure out what to do about camber plates because I think he ran GC camber plates with his setup.
