Airlift kit installed on a TL-S

Ya so heres another ride I got done between projects. I used the Easystreet kit from AirLift thats made for an Accord. They are nice units with 9 way adjustable valving, but I had to modify them to fit. The rear struts were too long so I cut them shorter and tapped out the hole for a shorter heim joint. The front struts were keyed in the wrong direction so i cut them down and machined out a grove for the clevis bolt to turn the units so they point backwards. The rear stock strut towers were modified and moved tot he front for the new struts. All this got the car sitting pretty even. I would like it to lay further but with the 19" wheels, a lot of changes would need to be made to the current suspension and wheel wells.

- 5 gallon tank painted body color, sits on a custom piece of 1/4" diamond plate
- Viair 380c 200psi comp
- Easystreet chrome 300psi valves
- 1/2" line
- 175psi switch
- Dual needle 200psi AirLift gauges
- Playstation controller
- 19" Niche wheels

Also done to the car before it got to me were TVs in the headrests and visors, PS2 under the seat, Mugen wings...ect..the exterior was also sprayed with blue and red pearl over the stock paint.

Re: Airlift kit installed on a TL-S

that's pretty pimp, i like the color of the tank the way it changes, and the nickel plated valves look good too

Re: Airlift kit installed on a TL-S
