Call to all bagged S550's!

The following is just my opinion and offers another perspective.

I originally had a 20x10 with 275/35/20 in the front but swapped it out for a 20x9 with 255/35/20 and glad I did.

I just wasn't comfortable with how close it was to the fender. Even with running negative camber. Which wears the tires even faster.

Look at the couple of pictures posted above. If that wheel is not perfectly straight when you air it out. The fender is going to take a hit. I was always paranoid when I would air out the car waiting to hear that crunch sound. Luckily, it never happened.

With the 20x9 and 255/35/20 I have wiggle room if that wheel is not perfectly straight and that fear is no longer there and I am running no negative camber.

I assume you are new to air lift and don't have the kit yet. I have the airlift 3H/3P kit and I think the V2 would be the same way. When you press one of the preset buttons regardless on which direction the car is going, up or down. What happens is the buttons on the controller will flash until the car reaches whatever height it is set at. When the buttons are flashing. The controller will not accept any other commands.

Why is this important? Because if you have one of your buttons preset to air out the car and it is coming down and hits the fender you cannot panic stop it. It will continue until the buttons stop flashing.


I love the way the 20x10 setup looks but I had to change it for peace of mind.

Good input on this brotha I personally did not know about the preset height and the inability to stop airing the process out.

The controller drives me nuts sometimes. I have my bottom button set to air out the car and the controller also has a setting that you can set for minimum ride height.

There are times when I pull up somewhere and hit that button to air out the car and the car will start coming down and then stop at the minimum ride height. I have to sit and wait for the buttons to stop flashing and then hit the air'd out button again for it to come all the way down.

It sucks when you are trying to show it off and people are looking at the car and it only comes down an inch and stops. Makes me want to say "Hold on, there's more. I promise"

The V2 controller doesn't operate that way. Once you activate a preset, you can interrupt it at any time by selecting another preset.

Just curious, has anyone tried lengthening the front struts to limit the drop when air'd out?
