Looking good. What are the wheel specs? Guessing your car is black but it looks dark metallic blue in the first image. Did you have to modify the shock towers to go that low in the front or are you bottoming out on the Front upper control arm? I have some nice big dents from riding too low going over big bumps.

Thanks I went 20x9 in the front 20x10 in the rear. It’s actually twilight blue pearl and yea went I zero out my control arm bends the metal where there should be plastic pieces but popped off.

So it is blue, not sure I've actually seen that color in person before. Any pics of the install?

What about the offsets? Front looks around +12 to 15 and rear around +20 or so.

Those plastic pieces popped off on my car as well. I'd recommend installing the Prada Side Engine Covers, they really clean up the engine bay. I posted about them on the forum a few years back with the part numbers. See here Prada Engine Bay

I plan to cut mine a lil more jus so I don't smash em when I hit bumps. I hate hearing that sound.

Yea it’s a type of blue. I haven’t seen much either but it’s a special color. Not sure of the off sets but didn’t need any spacers and unfortunatley I don’t have pics of the install since I dropped it off at my local rim shop. But the Prada engine cover does look clean...good addition

Well that blows. I have forjworks brackets up front, looks like they may still be contacted thru their fb page. Damn, looks like dorbritz design site is down as well. Go to bagriders.com. Get the aero sport threaded brackets, i believe they fit most strut bodies. For the rear, id stay away from dcups. Mine started to gouge the bag up top. I suggest the genesis coupe rear brackets. Me and another member in this thread have them.

Does anyone know if these mounts will work with slammed specialties ss6? The mounting points look right in the picture for the genesis coupe gen1 brackets on bagriders but it only says it’s compatible with air house 2. Bought the wrong brackets for my ss6 so just trying to get the brackets in time for install this weekend

Did you ever get this worked out? I haven't been on in a while but didn't know the answer to your question anyways.

Performed a rebuild on my Accuair VU4 manifold this week after having problems with the passenger front corner losing 20-25lbs of air overnight. Checked all my connections for leaks before reaching out to Accuair. You could either send it in for a rebuild, get a $100 off the new VX4 manifold, or get a rebuild kit for free. Opted for the rebuild kit which consisted of 8 poppets with springs. Super easy to swap out even with my complicated hardline setup and took about an hour. Only had to remove four of my lines and was able to rebuild it without removing the manifold from the car. Also put my wheels back on my car which haven't been on for the past 9 months or so. Pics below.

Turns out it was an airbag issue causing the air pressure loss over night. The leaking was worse after my car got shipped to California. Upon closer inspection I found pinhole leaks in the side of the passenger front airbag, driver side had no issues. Both are being replaced with double bellow bags once the correct parts show up. Airtekk sent me the wrong size and pitch twice. Now currently waiting on a set from AirForceSuspension which I'm losing hope in as well. Once installed my car will be for sale. Pics below. Gives a good idea on how these components have held up over the past 4.5 years.

How you like the ride? The ride with sleeves up front was nice, way better than stock. How much pressure are you running up front? Interesting that the air fitting is on the bottom with the bellows. Sure makes it easier to get to.

Pretty sure AirForce switched to double bellows up front a while after I ordered mine back in July of 2014. Don't know if you can even order them with sleeve style bags anymore or not.

The ride is smooth. I’m running 92 in the front 68 in the rear but yea they switched it up since you bought them. I just bought these this past June and needless to say I don’t drive soft lol so they are sturdy for sure

Finally got my replacement parts from Air Force Suspension last week. The double bellows from Air Force and Airtekk are identical, except Airtekk brands the bag itself. Made the strut height the same as when the sleeve bags were installed. Running 86-90 in the fronts now and I find the ride to be more bouncy. Prefer the ride quality of the sleeve bags over the bellows with current strut length. If I was keeping the car I would reduce the overall height of the strut in order to run higher pressure.

Airtekk Left AirForce on the right
