I am soooo jealous..lol.. it seems we have similar taste.. Vert. check. Black. check. Old Skool Flares. check. I was actually looking at D2's set up so I'm interested on hearing your results. My concerns are two fold. Daily driving ride and aggressive driving. I'm also curious about where you're gonna have your alignment set (as in what height). I'm guessing that as you change height the alignment will change everytime. Do they have a kinda "set" point for daily and then lower it on play days or is going to be a "pressure" setting? Thanks for any insight Gregg. I'm hoping to see mine in a few months (hopin the tax man helps me out). Thanks again.

Find me another air setup available in the US and I'll review it.  Their stuff is solid, no issues from any of the drift guys I've seen running 'em.

Yeah, I was also looking for some pictures of his car just because (I wanted to see what headlights he was running, etc...), but he has so many threads he has started here (it is his forum you know... ) that I couldn't find his 'vert thread.
Post up some pics or a link man!!
change my mind before I get some Stance GR + Pros, hehe... Prob. won't happen, but you never know...

Airbagit.com has a full set up much like D2 and K-Sport. However, list price is HALF of what K-Rape is charging. When I first talked to Nick via e-mail, he told me prices were going to be about 2500. Now their web site says its 3950!!! Airbagit.com lists for 1995!!!Either way, I am super jealous, I want air so friggin bad. Can't wait to see an official write up.

 well.. well... any word yet.. Now I know you got a deal on the setup I'm sure, but what is the price for us common (read - poor) folk?
and still curious about how they address the alignment concern.

http://www.ksportusa.com/asp/a...=as01 Direct link to K-Sports "Basic" application. 3900 for an s13 kit. Yeah, as mentioned in my last post in here. Also something I mentioned in my last post was the fact that airbagit.com's kit is half the price and does the same job, although im not sure if their dampers are adjustable, but is that worth 2 grand? As far as the alignment is concerned, it is normally set at your desired ride height as that is where almost of the tire wear will occur. Any reputable alignment shop should be able to do it with a smile and do just as good of job as they would on non-air ride suspension.

LOL - I already get a much different response to the car than I used to... I'm getting a kick out of the people who don't expect it to be stupid-fast when they see the big gaudy wheels.

O, that's it? how far does it go up?You are one of the few ppl who still have fenderwell linings after lowering. I was expecting some framerail on the ground loweredness, hee hee. I guess that's pretty pimp if it goes up to stockish height.

You're gay...
Just pop them off for a day and see how low you can go. Then go back to a reasonable height and put your liners back in.
Come on, we want to see you lay frame (or as close as you can without smashing your aero...).

No, "gay" is getting road funk and tire nastiness on a $6K pristine built KA-T. Keep in mind, my engine is dropped1.5" lower in the cradle, and my skid plate is about 1" from the ground at the lowest height. That pic is almost full-drop. Front settles down a little more if I let all the pressure off. Car won't roll at this height, tires are on fenders. Theft-proof.
