Another one we've finished recently is this Impreza.

Full Air Lift Performance kit with 3P digital management and ABP noise reduction compressor.

This one fought us a little bit with lots of seized or corroded bolts but we got there in the end.

I think the issue is lack of wheel fitment on most VAGs these days. Unless someone has a beautiful set of wheels that sit perfectly in line with the arch it can end up just looking broken.
Wheel choice is everything when building a show car and that comes right down to specs and even tyre choice.

A good example of that is Pedros E46 a few posts above. Without those gorgeous Work Meister S1s I honestly don't think it would have that same "wow" effect.

Continuing our JDM theme we had this GT86 Aero in for air suspension a few weeks back.

Still running the standard wheels for the moment but with a set of Work wheels being ordered in the near future this will look incredible.

Running Odin Air Sus with Air Lift 3P management and ABP 444 compressor.

Not one we've bagged but we helped fine tune and get this incredible Porsche setup properly.

The owner was having some small leaks and problems getting the Air Lift manifold to calibrate properly so he left it in with us.

We narrowed it down to a faulty manifold which Air Lift graciously covered under warranty, so once that was replaced we did the calibration, height presets and then a 4 wheel alignment to have it driving better than ever.

Crazy looking car with the Old & New kit harking back to the old flat nose 935s of the late 70s. I love it!

Here's something a little different....a Nismo Juke on air!

A cool little car we've done a bit of work on in the past the owner decided to go for full air suspension and had us fit some gauges he bought too.
Running a custom air suspension kit with Air Lift 3P digital management all it needs is a new set of wheels with a lower profile tyre and it will be sitting on the floor. He's talking about Work Meister S1s so I'm very excited for that when the time comes.

For the gauges Gary made a custom A-Pillar mount and trimmed it in alcantara. We supplied and fitted a coolant adapter for the water temp and a sandwich plate for the oil temp to get all the gauges working correctly.

A car I'm not normally a fan of but I really like this one because it's so different from the normal cars we bag. I'll be sure to post pictures when the time comes for new wheels.

Cheers,

Aaron

If you follow our social media accounts you might have seen this last night but if not feast your eyes on this.

So simple and effortlessly cool!

Being a modern classic and something of a rarity this E36 deserved a timeless wheel design. The owner wasn't convinced we would be able to get these wide OZ Racing Futuras to fit but with the right size tyre, a little bit of camber and the Odin Air Suspension kit with Air Lift 3P management we were able to absolutely nail the stance on this!

And of course, for the purists, this is all completely reversible if the car ever needed to go back to standard, but where's the fun in standard cars?

Love that!

The “little” bit of camber let’s it down for me personally. But the wheels and air combo looks awesome.

Another JDM hero we had in recently in the form of this Toyota Aristo....the more door Supra!

We fitted an Odin air suspension kit with Air Lift 3P digital management.

Looking forward to seeing this at the LZ Festival with the body work and interior finished off.

I'll be sure to grab a few more pictures.

Cheers,

Aaron

Just been through this thread and the phrase 'wheels maketh the car' has never been more relevant to air ride!

As with every modified car that has ever existed, not everything is to everyone's taste. I'm sure there are some cars that come through that you'd rather not do, but at the end of the day with a business work is work!

Couldn't agree with you more Ryan! I genuinely get excited when someone drops something off with us and actually has cool wheels for it...the E36 above for example lol

Check out this cool little Suzuki Swift Sport we had in recently for air suspension and a custom boot build.

Bagged on an Odin air suspension kit with Air Lift 3P management.

Customer wanted an attention grabbing boot build so we made this bar to mount the tank on, as well as making all the hardlines, an LED lit box for the Air Lift manifold and all trimmed in high quality material.

mmmmm wheel change and that would look better - looks too pokey (not poke) on those small wheels hidden in the arches

Boot build is sweet!

I appreciate this won't be to everyones taste but you've got to agree it's attention grabbing.

A genuine BMW individual colour this mint green M4 got the full air suspension and audio treatment with us.

Sitting on an AirRex suspension kit with Air Lift 3P digital management it's as low as you can go on these.

We upgraded all the speakers in the cabin with Focal components, including the underseat subs, added some JL Audio 12" subs in the boot, all powered with JL Audio amps and controlled with an Audison DSP. Of course we couldn't install all that without making a fuss about it in the install so Gary worked his magic and came up something funky to suit the rest of the car. LED lighting through custom shaped perspex to suit the build, a custom shaped 3D Blackline Logo centre piece, colour matched rings on the subs and all trimmed in lovely black alcantara.

A very eye catching car and sure to turn a few heads at the shows in the near future.
