Those rear bag mounts look nice. I've seen some pretty shady setups back there.

There's just something awesome about the look of a VW pan. You can feel the ridges under the carpet in my Bug, so I love rubbing my foot on them while driving.
Okay......That just sounded REALLY weird

Thanks. I too have seen some sketchy setups. This is one of the cleanest air ride installs I have done.

Its not a Mendeola Chassis, but I'm sure with all the blood, sweat, and tears it will handle better than the factory intended it to. POR-15ed New pans, Urethane bushings throughout, all new KYB shocks, tie rods, steering damper, brakes, F/R sway bars, etc. Will run 185-65-15 Falken ZE-512s all around on completely detailed Riverias. Iphone pic so not great quality.
