very nice.

Gees -3 camber? How much did you drop it by?

Camber bolts will only bring it to about -2 to -1.5 camber but sadly there's no adjustable control arms for our model to fix it completely

OMFG... AIRREX!!! so jealous man...

Sadly I'm not gonna get Airrex, gonna go with slam specialties air bellows front and rear with Accuair air managment system with touchpad. All this goes under $3K

Just the bellow, its much cheaper than getting the full custom strut

Have you installed it yet, post some pics!!

That's an option i never looked at... haha but i think i still prefer the airrex cause it comes pre assembled and is digital!

Nah i haven't. Planning to DIY this sunday if i'm free

[hiwtf]

Got my wheels back and put stickers and centre caps on :)

Not too sure if i will but if i do then i'll let you guys know.

Update on the install: We did all the power and airline routing, covered it all up neatly and jacked up the car to install the Air Struts BUT after taking out one of the front BC coilovers and picking up the AIRREX air strut, we noticed the front air struts were missing a sway bar link... So today's session failed. Had to reinstall the Bc coilovers and contact AirRex australia about it.

They said the air struts shouldve came with an integrated sway bar link or a clamp on one and they're going to try resolve the problem ASAP.

[hiwtf]

sway bar brackets are on their way and should be continuing installation this saturday... if not, sunday.

[hiwtf]

This is what the package looked like when it came FYI:

Front air strut with missing sway bar bracket compared to BC coilovers;

Routing of airline/power cables to engine bay:

Folded the backseats down, didn't need to take off the back seats luckily since there's plenty of space to feed the wires through

removed kick panels from back passenger side

removed kick panels from front passenger side, fed the wires behind the panel of where the seatbelt hangs

Located where the firewall to engine bay was

Firewall was pretty easy to get to. Removed the groumet and drilled a small hole into it to feed the wires through.

NOTE: Pictures only show power cables and no airlines. I did the airlines after (exactly the same way i did the power cables) i took these photos.

I always forget to take photos when i do **** like this so i apologise for the poor effort but... this gives you a rough idea...

Hello Tony, may I ask if your rear window spoiler is of a rubberised type of material ? It sticks on with 3m tape ? Are you happy with the quality and where did you buy it ?

Hey wazz... When you check on ebay, most of em are polyurethane (rubbery plastic and very flexable) and there is one or two that are made of ABS which is like what your rear spoiler is made of. All the rubber ones come with 3M tape on em. Polyurethane ones can be had for about $70 off ebay from Taiwan.

I'm answerin ya questions Tony... im over this working week.

[hiwtf]

Airrex installed in the fronts. Unable to do the rears cause the people who worked on my car previously, tightened the bolts too hard so we couldn't get it off using 'man power'

I have yet to set the front suspensions properly but once the rears are done, i'll set all 4.

Must say, the handling has slightly improved with the 2 airrex struts in the fronts :)
