that seems really cheap for a airbag set up...does that include lines and everything??? My buddy has 19s and a custom airride set up and he goes pretty low but you can lay body without a kit. Scion1616 has the lowest ive seen with a stock skirts. When you get them make sure to roll your fenders to prevent rubbing issues,

Thats a pretty good price on the stuff. But your going down a long hard road, You might do a search on here and read some about airlift.

i have subs in my xB, i understand that most of the kit goes into the trunk area or something, at least thats what ive seen. I've heard their is a thin one that could fit below my subs where the spare tire is, anyone know the name of that brand/where to get it?

Rolling the fenders is exactly as it sounds. You "roll" that
inner lip on the fender flat to the fender to give you that extra
1/2" of space. On our cars, unless you have a REALLY low
offset, chances are the lip on the fenders is NOT going to be
a problem!

As to how to do it (if you have to), when guys roll their fenders
on the Porsches in the Porsche Club, they take a wooden
dowel rod, 1" or so, stick it between the fender and the
wheel and literally roll the car forward allowing the wheel to
roll the dowel bending the fender and lip out according to
whatever thickness the dowel is. It's ballzy and dangerous,
but I did it on my '74 Porsche 914 to get some wider meat
under the engine in the back.

the trick with rolling fenders is to not crack the paint on the fender. If you are not sure what your doing, you better take it to a bodyshop or you will eff your car up real nice.
As with air ride, you need to do your homework completely. If you cheat, your car will suck *****. Even I still have air leaks I can't find. This is what you have to deal with. If you are not spending in excess of 2 grand for EVERYTHING, Then it's not gonna be right. I spent a month installing my air ride and I am damn proud of what I got. I haven't seen a cleaner install yet in a xB here in Chicago.
You can go airrunner or some other japanese company and you will get 3 grand worth of quality. That's real good quality. A lot of guys are "throwing" air on the car and creating a lot of problems cuz of workmanship. DO it right the first time.
