BTW- I asked about the style tail lights you have in another thread . How do you like them? Are they quality? Who makes them? Are they legal?
The tail lights...I got them off ebay...I like them, they fog up a little, but not bad...I haven't had the time to pull them off and reseal them...but I like them alot...

We had Cherry lowered with the Progress Rate lowering springs and it looked good but then we went with the Air Ride Technologies air struts and bags and what a great look along with the security of being able to raise her back up for safety when driving. We had to have them redo the struts since we have the BIG 225/40/18 BF Goodrich G Force tires put on. With the wide low profile square edged tires we could not get the right camber in the front end so Air Ride did a great job in designing the proper front strut and mounting brackets for the PTs with non-stock wheels and tires. We highly recommend the air ride system from Air Ride Technologies, and they are great people.

The kit can be found here http://www.airride.com/productinfo/airstrut.asp and the PT is the first one listed. It is right at $1400 for the kit but then it needs to be installed and you need to have some guages. We are going with the digital guage but it is not in yet. If you have 18 inch wheels and the tires are about 8 in deep then I would call Air Ride to see if they can get you the front strut and bracket they made for ours. Their setup down in Jasper, In is really nice - like Monster Garage.
