I hope I get a chance to see this car in person someday. It's absolutely spectacular... really a car that all thirdgens aspire to be.

Would you ever consider selling this car? If so I would like 1st crack at it, you read my mind on how the perfect build was to be done, I've been eyeing the Ridetech kit for a while now, what is your honest opinion of it?

Thanks for the great comments Mike. Ill let you know 1st if I ever wanna part with it. I love the air ride, adjustability is awesome, rides pretty smooth (for what it is) and carves corner like its on rails. This was one of the best mod I did to the car. Tho I wish I went with dual compressor. I didnt due to limited space and weight saving.
