Air ride is finished! Except for a few small things (trimming wheel wells and things like that) it is finished. Before anyone says the front doesn't sit as low as the rear, that is just how air ride is. In order to get them equal I'd have to go to hydraulics. Unfortunately that is how air ride is.

25 pictures here : http://air.detroitbass.com
Please note, the first 4 or 5 pics in that directory are of the car lifted all of the way up!

Lifted all the way, this is normal driving height:

What ya guys think?

Everyone who likes it, can you please go to my CarDomain and rate me 5's and nominate me for showoff of the week? I am currently in 5th place for all Saturn SC's, and the ones beating me are bullshit ones. I'd appreciate it.

I gotta admit I kinda laughed when I saw that a saturn had bags but that car pulls it off VERY well. Looks really good!!
I really like the dark blue covering the rear wheel well gives it a very low look
A+

I personally like the look of the wheel/tire fitting perfectly symmetrically in the wheel well, like in your first pick. I'm not into the super low rider type stuff.
In any case, I sure as hell couldn't even think that up, much less pull it off, so in that manner, I have great respect for you. Here's to a job well done.

Looks pretty good. You could always fiberglass your own ground effects to make it seem as if the whole way around was touching the ground.

Fiberglass? And have it crack the second someone looks at it funny? No thanks lol. The lip kit matches the facory body lines perfect, it doesn't bother me that the front doesn't go as low, because that is how all air ride is.

Oh, you could always just deflate the front tires! That's how you get it that low!

Looks pretty damn nice to me...I am quite boggled by the fact that you can not get the front to sit even with the back....I lived in Santa Maria,Ca most of my life and we where and still are the #1 lowrider city in the state of Cali and I have never heard of such a thing....Is it cause you have to knotch the frame or something????Just puzzles me a bit....

With the width of the wheels and the length of the struts, it just isnt possible.
