I'm running accuair elevel. Might do bags over coilovers, but think I found a place that makes air struts for our cars but I'm going to call them up and see if they really do or not. If they do I can sell my BC coilovers.

keep us posted on the air struts. That would be cool. I have bag over coils now and its hard to get them perfectly balanced.
Do you have projected finish date?

Just talked to the company and they build air struts for our cars. Said it'll take a few days for them to build. Didn't get into details if they dampening adjustable. Aiming for April for it to be ready with the flares. Later on I'll do the full widebody metal work.

Little update... Trying to get it done in a week and half for HIN Dallas.
If you wanna follow my build my IG is @phi_w203
Gotta step my game up and do a one off bumper. My boy Joe doing his body work magic for me.
Testing fitting my fender cut.
My plush trunk liner i did myself. Came out pretty good i think
Got my floating tank mounted. Wires and hoses run. Just customizing some camber plates and the front bags now so i can lay frame airred out.

Is that a BMW bumper bottom attached to a w203 front bumper top?
The air setup is looking solid. Stoked to see the car on the ground w/ the new fenders!
Interested in what you do for your front camber solution too. Did you end up relocating your windshield wiper res?

Yes that's a BMW bumper molded to my bumper. Going to get a cf lip later on. As for the camber I'm making custom camber plates on top to adjust the camber along with fluted bolts and did some other lil tricks to adjust the camber. As for the wiper reservoir I'm trying to mock it up further forward into the bumper. I'm making a bracket to see if it'll work right now.

These flares are temporary till my body guy is free to do what I want. But for now I'm going to extend the side skirts, modify the rear bumper and widen the front flares to match the rear.

Oh man, the front flares look soo awesome from that front angle. Got a pic like that front the rear?
Did I spy, no windshield wiper res? And no longer using the underbody engine cover?
