Thanks. Airbox controller was hidden under the trunk to allow maximum trunk space while still showing the tank and compressors My friend Josh (anotheraznguy) did a great job with the install, so if you are in bay area and want to go air, hit him up...

yeah install wasnt too bad.. most of it was trying to make the install look clean.

took 2 days but on the last day it was all about tweaking ride height.
and surprisingly.. since TBG35c wanted to keep his trunk space, we tucked everything as much as possible.

Very clean looking setup! I like the blue too. If you are switching wheels I liked these on another CB g35

Yeah I know its not the same blue, and I'm sure the wheels aren't exactly the same blue either I am just offering a slightly diff wheel choice as the OP said the "Wheel/tire combo is still a work in progress". I was just pointing out I liked those wheels on a blue car and I think they would look very good on his too. Either that or white wheels look good too on blue, just a pain to clean.

Mike, I was using D800 with 50mm 1.8D lens I think. It was just a quick 5 min shoot so nothing fancy lol.

So technically this setup have independent air and psi setting for each corner. Its also a true coil setup with 36 adjustable settings. So far, the car handles super smooth and nice. I had stance GR+ and Tein 350z Stech before this setup and I have to say that the air beats both of them in term of ride quality. The car no longer bottom out or jumped when hitting those nasty free way bumps. It feels like a new car again lol.

I did try to corner hard and it felt great handling wise with very little body roll. I have front rubbing issue though at my current drive height, so I will need to take care of that first before going faster on the corner. Hope that helps...

i guess one of the main concerns is handling.. w/ some cheaper kits.. the front and rear are considered independent of each other.. where front left and right air lines are linked.. this kit that tbg35c picked up had indepenent air lines for each corner. This definitely helps w/ handling as there is less sway compared to a front/back kit.

if you spent enough time tweaking the suspension to get air pressure and ride height just right, i am sure it is on par w/ some of the coilovers on the market.

this is however by no means a replacement for double/triple adjustable dampers for track use.. But then again.. if you are tracking the car for times.. i doubt you would be looking at an air setup.
