Suspension is a custom setup from Air Ride Tech

New wheels are 19x8 TSW Mondello's wrapped in 235/35/19 Nitto 555's.

8 valves, 4 switches, FBSS.

 

Wow

 

Not feelin it at all, the wheels kill it. If you were goin VIP with rims and a nice clean kit, it'd look siiiick.
-GP-

 

SICK! Now you need to paint your skirts and get a BBK... it'll look real nice through those rims.

 

Yes..I definitely need to paint the skirts....

I have an OEM spoiler I have been wanting to paint and install. I will probably do it all at once.

And yes...the brakes now look so tiny...


And to the one "not feeling it"...and as for me going "VIP"...whatever that means...to each their own...

 

 

i agree to each their own, as some people dont like my roof painted black. It just doesnt look right having a sedan bagged with the stock body... Maybe once its finished it'll look alot better. If you like it that's all that matters.
-GP-

 

I do like your black roof..I have been considering it myself...not sure about it on the silver...but it looks badass on the white...

 

Decided to go down the VIP route with airbags myself now.
First time I've seen it on a G sedan though....well done.
Looking nice although I reckon you could do with a lower offset on those rims....just my opinion mind.

 

how much did that system set you back?

 

paint the sides man...dont feel the air ride suspension at all...thats gonna eat your tires alive man...

 

not feeling the air susp.


paint skirts and with those wheels and proper ride height....could be something there.

 

Well...

The shop that you see the car in belongs to some frinds of mine...They do custom suspension, airbags, hydraulics, built complete one-off frames, street rod restoration, etc.

Everything on my car just came off one of the guy's '05 Altima.
It is all about 6 months old.

The front kit is a bag over strut design made for the Macpherson struts of the Altima.

The back is a normal Slam Specialties airbag mounted into his old Altima lower control arms.

The wheels were also on his car.

He paid about $1900 for the wheels and tires...
About $800 for the front setup
8 valves at $50 a piece
6 gallon air tank
1 Viair 450 compressor
lines, fittings, wiring, etc.

He had some of the stuff lying around since that is what they do...

So all together he probably had about $4K into the parts...and they did the work themselves....

He sold it all to me for $3K installed...this includes a lot of fabrication to make the front struts work. New rear shocks that would collaspe enough, custom switch mounting.

It just got finished a few hours ago..

FYI...the shop's website is http://www.2scrape.com

 

My ride height is just slightly lower than stock...

Thus the point of adjustable suspension

With a proper alignment and resonable ride height judgement...my tires will last as long as stock height.

 

Spokes are too thin/skinny.
