My Probe, Then to now

[shaun708]

so my car is officially bagged. I went with airlift universal sleeve over struts #75564. There is already a great thread covering the install of these struts, it can be found here: http://forums.probetalk.com/showthread.php?t=170130556

here is a brief overview of my setup:
airlift 75564 struts
airlift autopilot v2 management
444c compressor
3/8" line/manifold
3 gallon tank

a few pics of the process (don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any)

the struts unassembled


top mounts done


lower mounts cut ready for welding


made a jig to hold everything in place (excuse my tack weld, i am a novice welder at best)


basic trunk layout


false floor (made in two pieces for ease of removal)


front mock up with wheel on "aired out"


finished pics at a local show sunday


and some professional ones

Everything looks nice and professional. Great job on getting the air ride installed. I'm sure that was a fun task. The last few photos show the paint color pretty well and I'm digging it. Fresh paint on a car always makes you smile.

You should take a video of the air ride.

Thanks! The top mounts could be cleaner. If I had a plasma cutter it would've been great. I had to use a cutting torch and the edges aren't as clean as I'd like. I may remake them down the road. I'm extremely happy with the lowers tho! It was a lot thinner metal than the top. I did everything with a cutting torch, cutoff wheel, grinder and dremel.

That black and white picture there is sick! Nails the fitment of both front and rear. But that colour though looks epic in the sunlight.

Side note, you ever sell your Yonakas? Found another PGT owner at a local meet this past weekend and he as debating picking up some coilovers soon-ish.

This is basically what I wanted to do to mine. I want white rims like that on mine. I do love this car though. Very clean and looks very nice.

Car looks great. A little low for me, But a very cool look.

[ScottD961]

Car does indeed look fantastic and that color combo is sick!

Slammed Probe's on air FTW! Don't know what it is, but slammed with hellaflush looks so badass on Probe's!
Was and still am in love from the moment i put my Probe on air!
Got air coilovers from K-Sport on mine.
So you got 205/40 on what rim size? 18x...? Looks very agressive Shaun!

[shaun708]

Putting my car on air is easily the best mod I've ever done. I honestly don't know if I'll keep any car static again. The performance of modern air suspension is phenomenal.

My wheels are 18x9.5 +15 rear +22 front

[Gt-Addict]

so what are you doing with the old suspension setup? selling it assuming its still good?

[Jollywonker]

Car rocks, your dad rocks.....

[95blkpgtklze]

Is that the offset before you had the fronts cut down or after?

[MonoxideChild]

Damn, one of the nicest Probe's just got even better! Nice man!

[varneraa]

Very nice.
