Picked up some air adjustable shocks for the fronts at napa today, Jeff helped me put them in ;D
Here is a pic of the air adjustable shocks
Here is a pic of the passenger side ride height
Here is another pic of the ride height
Now I have some suspension travel when I drive.
I am planning on getting an on board air-compressor with a reservior tank, so I can adjust the height on the fly.
Other future plans are to bag the rear, so I can drop it down to the floor when I am parked 8)

My custom wheel adaptors came in yesterday. The lug conversion goes from 4x130 to 5x100.
These were the wheels I had on before
And these are the ones I have on now
Check out the rest of the pictures at

In both pictures the air shock is inflated quite a ways, the car sits lower 8)

Tenchi is my nick name given to me by my friends back home.
The origen of the chi in my culture is usually attached to the nickname of the eldest child.
So my friends called me Tenchi. Some of my friends back home nicknames are Fenchi, Linchi, etc.
