Default My new air suspension unit

My new air suspension system. How low can one get? Getting in and out of basement is much easier now!

feasible. Roberuta is supposedly a difficult install to boot. Details

Default Air Unit

Some installation pics. The trunk is not usable. No more trips to Costco.

So when the ride height changes, how do you fix all the other geometry? (Concerned about toe mostly).

Default Toe

Camber and toe were set once at the lowest driving height, no need to change afterwards.

It costs about $3,000 installation included.

I park at basement. Used to scrape the bottom a lot. With the air unit, no more trips to the body shop.

if you dropped the spare tire and tools, built a custom enclosure in its place to hold the air tank... it'd look clean and oem w/ space left!
