A buddy and I made the copper hard lines for the tank last night. I've seen several people do this and liked the contrast it brings to it. I'm sure most of you know but copper is so easy to damage when trying to bend it. Found online if you fill the tube with sand when trying to bend it you will get nice rounded corners. Didn't have sand laying around the house so we used the next best thing, salt. It worked awesome and all the corners turned out awesome. I will be polishing the lines before I install them as well.

Started polishing the copper hard lines last night. Love the way they look all polished up. The tank should be polished soon as well.

Looking good and subscribed. Any reason you didn't go with Airrex for your bag/strut assembly?

I already had KW V3 coils, love the quality of their struts\shocks so I wanted to stick with that route.

Had to remove spare tire to get everything to properly fit. Drilled 4 holes for the air lines to pass through and installed grommets.





Was able to run the air lines up above the plastics on each side of the car. I attached them to the hardlines on the passenger side and used fasteners on the drivers side. There is an indent up front but the coil over where the line came out that worked perfect.


Brackets, front and rear bags.


Rear bags assembled. The threaded portion faces down in the rear spring bucket. You will need to drill a hole to install it.



Front coilover prior and after assembly.



Elevel sensors were a little difficult to install but not horrible. The cannot exceed more than 2.75 inches of travel and require at least an inch of travel. The more travel you have the more accurate your system will be. Ending up having 2.5 inches in the front and 2.25 inches in the rear.








I wanted to mount the controller in a unique place as most people just run the wire to the front and let it sit out. I found the cupholder lid was actually the perfect size and it would still be functional with the touchpad installed. It worked great. I wasn't too happy with the way the lines turned out on the lid so I ordered another one.

I am awaiting on some custom trunk pieces and getting my tank painted so I will have pics of that as well soon.

Thanks man. I was not aware of that. The way the VU4 faces straight down it was easier to just route them all down. Plus when the rear bags are aired out and the car is on jacks the actually come free from the spring cups so having them under the car works for that as well. Where are the pre existing holes at? I may move the Elevel sensor wire through them.
