it's always good news/bad news, with progress stalling toward the end
Good news:
Hardware installed. Tank mounted to the CF trunk panels, compressor hidden underneath, only essential lines exposed due to the tank design. The switches look pretty OEM on the center console
Additionally, the cup system provides significant lift, as advertised. It works
Fronts aired down (there is much more adjustment downward on the front coilover, we just didn't mess with it yet):
Aired up, its like 2 inches of height gained
Rear down
Rears up
The bad news, as described before, is specific to me. That rear static position is the lowest it will go, maxed out SPL midlink and a new 5 inch spring. The car's been on a lift so the springs have only been under load for about a day or so - the hope is it will settle a bit, maybe 1/4 - 1/2 inches.
I want the top of the tire to meet the fender, which means . . .
- 4 inch spring, which poses a problem of limited travel and the cup/bucket hitting
- machining the bucket, unknown consequences and cost
- removing the rear cups entirely, which is easiest but dumbest
