      Sounds good! I know the feeling with having to save up for a project, can't wait to see it when it's finished! I imagine the rear struts would be the biggest problem to overcome due to the odd strut positioning in the rear arch. Keep up the good work mate!

          Thanks man. Hopefully painting the Aero skirts satin black so they match the lip better this weekend.

          Thanks! Yeah, the saving is the worst part, Especially after you go cruising with your friend that has a bagged Audi. lol Makes me want to do mine even more.

          I have an idea of how to do the rear, just not sure if the bag will clear everything. I'm going to use Koni adjustable struts all around with Universal Air Suspension Aerosport bags at each corner. The front will be a piece of cake, and I know everything will clear just fine. My main concern for the rear is that the bag may not clear the brake caliper when its aired out.



          I do have a backup plan if that doesn't work though.

          Thanks. I'm hoping it won't take me that long to gather parts. Hopefully I can get this damn houseboat sold soon so I'll have the cash. But, I plan to work a shit ton this summer too so I can get some nice wheels.

              Fatty. I can't find a skinny that will slip over a shock. This is my backup plan: http://bagriders.com/modlab/products...AL-STRUTS.html

              I can make those work, but it will be a lot more expensive and a lot more work.

                Hi,
                I liked your car and I appreciate your efforts in maintaining it in well condition.Maintenance is the most important issue to be taken care of. Even I maintain my BMW which I brought from the salvage auctions to keep it working.

                  I love them. Now I'm done playing around. Pretty much everything after this should involve getting low.

                    Looking good dude! I seemed to have stumbled up on an issue. Not sure if the rear is the same in the sedan, though I would believe it is. Rear upper control arm to body clearance... This is obviously on stock springs cut 2.5 coils. However, I would like to get a daily ride height lower than this, and there simply isn't enough travel without some more custom work.

                      The wagon is the same as the sedan. That is close... Custom control arms seem like the only way to. Although I don't plan on my ride height being any lower than about lowering spring height.

                          ...I have officially begun collecting parts. Picked this up at Water by the Bridge on Saturday.

                          It's like it was made for exactly where I wanted to put it. Now comes a decision: do I make a hardwood false floor and hide all the management under that, or do I just put it all in the spare wheel well?
