OFFICIAL Progress Thread - The XTREM Z Gets AIR BAGGED!
Saturday, March 24, 2007 7:12 PM
Finally. To those who know me, it's been a long running joke about lowering my car with a Drift Kit.
I kept telling everyone that I was going to eventually get Air Bag Suspension for it when I could afford it.
I'm sure people had their doubts, but the day has finally come....

Uncle Sam was good to me this year with my refund, so Chewy & I have started tearing the suspension
down to put the bags in their place. OG Nick should be here Tuesday to help with the installation also.
(I'm taking my time so I'm confident that it's done right.....onto the pics....

Starting in the rear first...






Chewy's just a pervert sometimes....well, all the time...lol










I also had some previous carpet issues with it not tucking under the console right, so I fixed that also...



One of me thinking about hittin' switches...lol.



I'll keep this updated as we go, but for now I'm off to enjoy my Cheesy-Bites Pepperoni Pizza! YUM!

Awesome, I can't wait to see it finished.

What are you going to do with the stock suspension you took off?

Thanks for all the wonderfull comments guys. It means a lot to me to finally get this car "Completed" as far as a well rounded car goes.

I'll for sure be posting many more pics as the progress continues, including interior shots. I've changed a few things recently, so I

don't really have any up-to-date pics of the interior assembled. But it will still be hot for sure. I'm fixing to head back out to the garage

& get the front end jacked up & put on stands to start ripping the front suspension off.

Thanks again for all the advice & help I have received & will be receiving in the future on this project!

Motion Control Arm Bushings too.

Eh, really? They clean it up so well though.

Well, maybe I won't put them in then. Maybe I'll sell em.

I'm kind of getting a little worried. this kit seems so simple to install, that I feel like I'm

going to miss something. But I've been following the instructions to a tee. Is it really just this easy?

Here's some shots of the right front being installed all by myself. Where's my ARMY of helpers? j/k


mmmm......fresh coat of Undercoating as well. Yeah, I'm meticulus. =)










More to come soon.....
