I am done..."for now" with my build. Here is a pic after the Mustang round up car show here in town. If anyone is interested I can make a more detailed write up with tips on how I did my system. Obviously you cannot drive it this low. I raise it up to where its lower than stock but rides the same if not better. I can lower it and it actually stiffens the ride. Best mod besides the Paxton I have done. Especially since this is my daily and the H&R SS springs, even coupled with nice shocks wasn't to my liking for DD duties.

That is so awesome man! Coolest stang ive seen yet on this site
Looks so good slammed!
That is sick! I've been looking into doing this.
Post some better pictures lol
Thanks! I modified it from a 4 paddle system to a 2 paddle. I don't really need individual control of each corner. The directions are generic and I found mounting the control system a "challenge" (to say the least). I also replaced some of the plastic push fittings to some brass semi tractor type fittings. My dual sweep gauge is in a Roush pod in the a/c vent. I still have access to my spare even though I have big subs in the car. If you are interested I can elaborate in another post.
Need more pics!

Here is the air tank. I didn't trim the unused air line. I coiled it under the carpet so I can remove the tank without losing all the air and get my spare out. I'm still playing with the idea of adding a fitting so I can use it to service my tires or something. The tank and compressor are on a carpeted piece of wood so they come out as an assembly. I also added a relay with a kill switch for the compressor. This way I can electrically disconnect it when I remove the tank or kill the system when its parked for a while.
I still have to wrap the rest of the wiring with wire loom so it looks nicer. I also have to finish the switch panel mounting. Although you don't see it with the cover closed.
I had to drill 2 holes into the vent for the air lines to go to the gauge. This is by far the best location I could come up with. The air lines are stiff and will not bend to extreme angles.

you can see the brass fitting connecting the front struts in the right upper corner.
Been looking at this myself as im on hr ss springs and konis and ill agree they don't ride smooth. So hows the ride/handling with this kit? Where did u purchase?
Fantastic. There is no other way of describing it. Looks good, rides like stock if not better. I can lower it more and it rides like the H&R SS springs did. I just wish it had come with better fittings.
Oh and one of the greatest things about this kit is...no more driving up on wood blocks to get it on a lift or to get a big jack under it or not being able to use ramps cause its too low. I can raise it way up. which is awesome for maintenance.
I answered the ride Q above.
American Muscle is where I purchased it from
NOTE: the struts and shocks are NOT adjustable. Disregard AMs website. If you e-mail them and tell them they are false advertising they will just ignore you...
Damn and I was going to go to the show last Saturday too. I should have gone to see this beast. Nice setup man!
:rockon:Your car looks amazing! Nice work!!!!
