Default Awsome...

You da man... I'd love to see your work on the front struts. Any picts? How is the ride and balance. How is the spring rate figured when using air?

Inspiring... Now I know where to start because I was planning to do a rear air setup using a electric pump and ride height valve from adapted from a certain late 70's USA luxury car that had a well operating rear air suspension.

Default that's a good reason

can you control height, as in, set it to preset pressures so that it doesnt vary?
