Although I'm not even close to being done, I've finally managed to finish the front mounts for my car.

Please keep in mind, the wheels are 19's. They are up in the wheel well as far as they will go. It will get 8 inches of lift from where it sits when finished.

People's misconceptions on adjustable suspensions usually come from a lack of knowledge.

nope, no hopping or 3 wheel. It will be hydros though. I've done the air-ride thing with my Nissan pictured in my avatar.

Being that most people have the misconception that bags are better, you won't find any companies that make a kit for hydros. Besides that, kits suck. They don't allow for the little differences from car to car, namely, wheel & tire size.

On matrixlovers' Matrix, he's "only" running 18's. It's f'n low, but he could still go lower if he'd modify the front mounts some. In fact, with him running 18's, it probably sits at about where mine will sit at. Perhaps I should change the topic title to Lower Matrix Ever on 19's.

Even damronjr mentioned in another thread that he's running 19's, and when his is all the way down, it's still driveable. I didn't want that.

As far as specs, it will be a 1-8 system, running off of 3 blue-top Optima batteries. 8" Cylinders at each corner, with accumulators to soften the ride.

This is as low as mine goes with the kit I bought. I can just barely turn the wheels like this. It is still driveable all the way down which proved to be a great thing when I lost all air pressure and had to drive 1 1/2hr back to SD from the mountains! Now though with the new front bumper, I could still drive it, but the bumper would be destroyed before I got there!

Your's looks awesome though!
