on air it really depends on the kit u get. I think you're thinking of air bags whereas I've got cylinders. mine has all custom and upgraded fittings as well as good quality cylinders. a lot of people use stock shocks but mine is being paired with bilstein. I drove with a guy in an ls400 on the same suspension and it floated. I also rode with an s10 friend on bags and it was beyond horrible. u really do get what you may for in air suspension.

Ugh, Every time I see Ryan's Wald here, I think of my 400, not that I had a kit, but I had put the same work into it: Paint, Rims, Stereo, Suspension, Euros w/HID's, Exhaust, brakes... yadda yadda.

Keep em on all 4's that's my new motto

What is the sc61?

VERY nice ride, Ryan! Black and chrome is a nice combo!

I nopticed that you deleted the M-B logo on the trunk and have a chrome circle in its place. Where's that from?

LOL. Ask Ryan about how much the wheels cost - It was a good amount though. I was thinking about getting those wheels but I finally figured out what I want to get.

hey man I'm not worried about anyone elses car looking like mine - that's impossible!

The car looks great.

Most of their rims don't look too hot, but the AX and LX are pretty nice, the CX is ok too

Some other companies have some nice choices as well, i prefer deep dish 5 spokes personally so the LX might be your best choice

I still think the ones you have on there are perfect for that body style . . . what brand are they? Wald?

The quality for Wald kits are perfect. All the people I know who have them had no problem with fitment issues.

Damn... Everyone wants to jump on WALD now.

CharlestonN, As I mentioned a few post above yours - They are Work Euroline DH's.
