Are you running a Bosch 044?

No just an aero motive stealth 340 in tank. Going to re do the system over the winter with a surge tank and external pump.

[jaystellato]

Why is everybody doing air?

Its time to step our game UP ... and u can only do so much w/ coilovers. Also, breaking stuff (like lips and bumpers and fenders) is expensive ... all that $$$ I threw away coulda easily been invested into a nice air setup

Air is cool and all but it's not something I would do on my Subaru.

[Rubaru]

It's whatever Dennis. While I may agree with you in certain aspects, it's the name of the game. You've been around long enough to know that. Driving low, fitted cars has never been easy, but we all do it, or at least did. So now that air is popular, does that mean everyone decides to throw away the passion they had for years, just to park hard at a show? I wouldn't say you're any more limited because of coilovers, look at Shavi, doing it harder than a lot of bagged cars. I'm really not bashing anyone. I know theres dudes on air really doing it out there for the right reasons. Ryan aka Rubaru would be the perfect example. Had air before it was a craze and still drives his shit lower than many people park.

Also, I don't want to sound like a complete hypocrite, because bagging the wagon is something I've often considered. Money aside, being static serves as self gratification for me. I like showing my car how I actually drive it, and not having the lowest car at a show by the flick of a switch. Air is definitely cool and all, but it was way more appealing to me before it was a trend.

[Subielove]

Heard that. Perfectly said.

I don't have any crazy obstacles in my daily commute so having air is not a concern for me. Maybe one day that will change, but by then I hope to have a 430. Then I won't give a fuck.

Gonna start my thread in the members gallery but had a nice photoshoot from a photographer yesterday. Hit him up on facebook @ NL Projects

Here's two though

Couldn't have said it any better. Coilovers don't limit anything. People in this community are just too conservative. If you want to tuck it's going to take work. More than just the simple roll or pull most are use too. And everyone has shitty roads, no one lives in perfect road land.

[That-Sleez]

lolol perfect road land. we for sure discussed this the other night after throwing sparks down I-5. But Jay worded that perfectly. Bags is something i have been back and forth on for a while.. But i also often think that for the price of some kits i could be spending that money on a ton of other really cool shit for my car as well.

[evilchargerfan]

Have u guys seen shavi drive his car, and/or what he goes through? wekfest la or infamous as an example @ the queen mary location (on grass) ... It takes 2 people to hold up his bumper as he drives it ... so his front bumper doesn't dig into the grass and rip off his bumper ... while its awesome as hell, its also impractical as hell

Myself as an example now ... wekfest sf ... you guys saw how low I drove the wagon all 9 hrs up from sd to the bay ... I looked "hard" doin it ... but inside the drivers seat im stressed because at anytime I can break yet another expensive jdm car part ($1500+ varis diffuser, $1000+ varis cf skirts, and one day perhaps a $1400+ varis front bumper asking to be destroyed driving at this ride height). Since then, the wagon has been raised up 1 inch because the rear of the varis skirt sits dangerously low to the ground ... its already cracked on both sides from said sf trip =/

Should I raise up the wagon to a safer ride height like joe's shagon wagon? No ... I don't wanna ride that high, that's not my style. Do I wanna go back down an inch .... hell yes ... but not w/ all this expensive varis aero. MY solution = go air (my solution may not fit everyones needs, style, or budget, so obviously you just do you .... and imma do me)




*cliff notes*

Everyone will do as they please at the end of the day ... I respect guys like joe w/ his conservative ride height. I respect guys like shavi and abbitt who dumped their shit to the ground while remaining static. I simply am sick of the stress and thought breaking more expensive lips/skirts/diffusers/etc, and not being able to access certain places due to my ride height

Why is everybody doing air?

remember my response was general, and based off of my personal opinion. and afaik ... not "Everyone" is goin air ... of all the wfc cars i see most are static

it's the name of the game

what is the name of the game exactly? is it to drive low as opposed to park low? i thought parking hard was also apart of said game? i am wrong? cause if thats the case ... we needs to all stop loitering in parking lots and kill "meets" and car shows altogether

So now that air is popular, does that mean everyone decides to throw away the passion they had for years, just to park hard at a show?

i wouldnt say goin air would mean throwing any passion ... its more along the lines of taking the game to another level (or a diff level, however you wanna perceive it) and opening up a new world of convenience.

one thing i love about air is when someone parks, and tucks their fender right between tire and the lip of their wheels ... i would def not attempt that sort of wheel fitment on a static setup and ruin expensive volk re30's or work vs-xx's. if i ever felt the need to tuck rim instead ... it would be easy to change my setup. if i wanted to go on a random road trip to vegas or sf ... it would take me a few seconds to raise the car, whereas w/ coilovers it would take me much longer

I wouldn't say you're any more limited because of coilovers, look at Shavi, doing it harder than a lot of bagged cars.

a few things shavi cant do harder:

-keep his fenders in good shape
-drive into certain places
-ride comfortably (mentally speaking as well)
-ill think of some more when i get some sleep in my system ...

being static serves as self gratification for me. I like showing my car how I actually drive it, and not having the lowest car at a show by the flick of a switch.

i def agree, its fun to "wow" people and tell them we roll like this ... but breaking shit ruins the fun factor. it gets old after a while. ive always driven MT cars my whole life, my sc400 was my 1st automatic car after 15+ yrs of driving ... and i gotta admit automatic is fucking awesome! (esp in traffic or when im lazy)

Air is definitely cool and all, but it was way more appealing to me before it was a trend

i think its safe to say both sides are trendy to a certain degree. think about all the nasioc heads that clown on people that ride low & slow and call us trendy ... we're also trendy in their eyes for rocking stickers on the rear windshield at an angle ...

[pwrFAP]

i know how you felt on your sf trip now dennis. i was worried about my rear diffuser too. even though i would rub my tires occasionally, i was more worried about that rear end lol


and ill admit it, i love seeing people's wow face after telling them i drove 1500 miles for infamous static

[genoL]

let me borrow the wheels.
btw, you gonna be at wekfest?

I'll be there with my friends, look for a bagged m45 on vip modulars/a bagged g37 on work schwerts/and a vertex is300 with a 2jz, my car won't be there though, she'll be in the shop getting a lot of work done haha I'll see you out there though!

Good shit man. What are you planning on doing for wheels

I might be going with some tracers
