I went with V2 management with slam series bags and a single 444C compressor.
Cant wait

Well the bag setup is installed and running great! We started at 8AM this past Friday and had everything wrapped up including the front notch by 1AM saturday morning - which I was surprised considering I was thinking it was going to turn into a whole weekend project.
I only have some quick cell phone shots for now and pretty much no images of the install because we pretty much just hammered through everything and I couldnt be bothered to take pics.
I think the rears are being held up from airing all the way though, seems like they should tuck a little bit more with the winter setup 16"s. Im thinking this could be the bump stops on my STs? Not really sure. Open to suggestions.

Not much of an update but I finally picked up the OZ's from the refinisher this past weekend. They literally are night and day compared to the day I got them. The refinisher ended up having to dip the wheels in air craft stripped to get about 10 years worth of bad repairs and layers of paint off the wheels. Apparently they've been almost every color under the sun including a few shades of plasti-dip...
I have to say I like the design of the wheel allot more now that they are silver - still not clear if I will keep these for a long time or if I'll trade or sell. Waiting on a hub ring to get here in the mail then I should have them mounted and tested this weekend if all goes to plan.
Im a little worried about the tire size situation though - ideally I'd like to run a 205 with these since the specs are 18X8 ET 35 and they came with 215's. Anyone have either images or experience running with my current setup on air with a frame notch? Hoping to not have to do a ton of pulling or rolling if possible.
A few more bonus hipstagram photos for you guys:
I need to spend a few more weeks fine tuning allot of the flaws that I'm not liking about the car before me and my buddy take our camera's out and start shooting her.Comment

Got the wheels on yesterday. I'm pretty happy with fitment!

Installed a reducer fitting so I could use a lower bung on the tank for the compressor - which means I can put the false floor top back in

The moment when you finally feel like you're making some progress on the car....
but then you notice you're having some intermittent headlight issues and decide to pull the bulb / ignitor out to inspect...
Awesome, so there goes my piggy bank savings that I was going to use for a much needed brake job. Anyone know the cheapest/best place to source a new ignitor? Im finding some stuff on Ebay that's "OEM" but not too sure about that....Comment

Installed a mount for my controller - don't think I've seen anyone use one of these for a V2 before.

rears can absolutely go lower then that, its gotta be the bump stops or the ST shocks don't go low.... try airlift shocks? or are using re5 or re6 rear bags, re5 go lower....S4 Avant - Build ThreadOriginally posted by s t a y g o l dComment

Not sure if it's the bumpstops - I'm definitely held up on the rear tires right now I believe. I'll probably try to add a tad of camber to see if they'll tuck but at the moment I'm satisfied.Comment
