Take that one entire minute it takes to pull off the front. My ViS front comes off in 4 screws and 2 bolts.

take the kit off and take measurements to see how much clearance you have.

you could put something under the jacking locations and then lower the car onto them. If it hits then you know you will hit the Ground effects.

Tell us how the thing rides w/ the air cylinders.

Exactly what I was thinking, EXACTLY!

So you paid $5k for that? Wow... Not what I would have done, but its your car.

You are going to have to make sure your wheels camber in enough to not hit your fenders and quarter panels too...

Just slowly lower it with the switch and have a friend watch and tell you when to stop, than you will have to figure out a way to make sure it doesnt go past that point ever. My friend has an Impala on 20's with bags and he just drops the **** out of it, but it has bigger wheel wells and sits higher. Have fun with all the 9th grade girls you will pick up with that car by the way

im pretty sure you can get bump stops with an airbag setup so that it will only go so low...
