I'm in Tucson. I mainly meet up at the VW meets as I've only ever had VWs and Volvos up to this time, and Volvo enthusiasts are few and far between.

The pic of it at ride height looks better than with the back looking like you removed the springs. :)

I completely agree, all that reverse rake is making my soul cry. Custom struts shall be had!!! (...and custom brake lines... not looking forward to making that happen...)

She hasn't had a good bath since getting air done either... and my front spoiler needs some repair and paint... and a fender and door both need dent removal, and the tails need some tintage...etc etc. One step at a time. :)

I think the new tires will fix the ass-lowness of the first pics. I'd probably throw 10 PSI more in the rear bags for pics. My car goes lower in the back, too, but I don't shoot it as low as it goes.

I use www.airbagit.com for air ride and www.motorsport-tech.com for custom adapters and I like them both

Thanks for the compliments, guys. 40 series tires up front are a good idea, and actually pretty cheap too.

Good call -- Yes, there are 205/45 in front and 205/40 in the rear. Not sure why though, came that way when I bought it.

And you said the rear goes lower than the front when your at max low right?

rotate the tires, i bet it will help with the looks when your car's chillin'.
