We used air bags so that we could change the look of the car whenever we choose. Here are some pictures of the car at different ride heights.

1. Front all the way up (only good for clearing speed bumps)

2. Rear all the way up.

3. Front and rear all the way down.

1. Front down just below half way.

2. Rear down half way.

3. The two combined, giving the car a little rake.

The settings are infinite, but I like it sitting level front to rear. The control inside the car will let you adjust all 4 bags independently and it also has three preset buttons that you can program. I think that I will set one button for all the way up for speed bumps and parking lot entrances, one button for a nice level ride height and the third button for all the way down.

Here is a short video of the car coming up the driveway. It ran out of gas as it passed the camera. That 2 gallons didn't last long between firing it up, making adjustments and going for a few short runs.

Here is the engine running (one of the many times) before the car rolled outside.

Thanks guys. I have a much longer video (plenty of gas this time), but it is in some kind of new DivX format and I cannot get it to post here or on Putfile. It had to be compressed in this format so that it could be e-mailed. I can view it on my computer, but I don't have a way to convert it so that it can be posted on Putfile or on here. Any ideas?

I found some software to convert the video file. I was only able to upload half of the video because of the size, but it is still longer than the other one. Like the others, this video is not the best quality (it was taken with a regular digital camera), but it is OK. For those that are going to ask, the tan strips under the doors are from the paper and tape there to protect the door sills from scratches until the car is finished.

More pictures from today. There are still some minor pieces left to install, but they shoud be on in the next few days. It goes tomorrow to have the AC charged and to get the alignment done. Then on Monday it goes back to the painter to have the final buffing done. After that it is just a matter of putting some miles on the car to find and fix any problems and we can call it finished! Anyhow, here are some pictures from today with the car about half way between fully slammed and normal ride height.
