It took me 3 days but I wanted to take my time and do it right and I may have done a lot of unecessary stuff by hiding all the valves but I wanted them to be protected and for it to look good also plus I was learning about the suspension components as I go.

make sure to get some vids of the car out in the day as well.
Did you get the bag strut combo from UA or did you just get the bags and mount to your own struts?
I'm taking the car out for some pics in a little bit so I can have some new pics for my gallery. As far as I know...UA doesn't make bag/strut combos since their bags are designed to just mount over the existing strut. Some modifications had to be done to the strut to make it work and UA will do that for free if you remove the struts and bring in to them which is a great deal. I've nothing but good things to say about them and it was pretty kewl when I went there to watch the bag manufacturing process since they make almost everything in-house. I would say this to everyone also, if you got the $$$ its definitely a great investment and I never have to worry about a speed bump or pothole again lol.
I dont know why I thought they had a combo already made, maybe it was for the 300/charger but I cant find it now.
well it looks really good and hopefully I will be doing this on my 3rd gen in the spring sometime
As a matter of fact I think they do have them since they primarily cater to 300/Magnum/Charger and heres a photo of Zack's car (BTW models just show up off the street there regularly for pictures with it and he has more than 1 lol):
If you do end up getting a setup just remember to mention me and Zack will take care of you with a discount. Just mention Ramon from Nissanclub and pictures will be up very very soon since they are uploading right now.
damn...i was expecting more of a drop...the rear is somewhat close to what i expected, but the front is retardedly high...looks like the same height my car was when i threw on the 3rd gen eibach springs...i would be really disappointed if i got those results...but like you said theres probably some tweeking still left to do...but mad props to you for doing this mod...im glad someone got the balls and stepped up to the plate to do this...i'm a huge fan of air suspension...I DROP MINES IN PUBLIC!!!!

Like I said the factory strut is kinda a pain to get setup for maximum drop and since I did not take the car in the first time to show them how high it was they could not accurately judge how to setup the strut for maximum drop which is why its soo high and believe me, it will be fixed almost to the point of tucking the top edge of the rim and also lowering the back another inch. This car has been a learning experience for them since the CVT has a completely different strut setup than even the manual for weight distribution reasons. I will try and get tooslow_4_u to post up some pics of the car raised that we took today plus a video of the system in action just be patient...it will come.
Once the body kits get on there and the front gets lowered...it will be a Sleeper IMO. My new pressure switch is on the way so it will at least raise up a bit slower...I'm sick of getting whiplash from the jump lawl.
