Is that on air? Custom setup?

Your car looks great, but I have never seen any wagon lowered so much, also, maybe it's the angle of the picture, but it looks like your tires are almost touching the top of the wheel wells. I can't imagine driving a loaded wagon or car, riding so close the the ground as I would be way too concerned about hitting a pothole or even a speed bump.

Looking through some of his previous posts, it's definitely on air so he can adjust it. I was mostly just curious on the setup he has going on if it was all made in house.

I've had air on a few of my cars, mostly only setups from AirLift Performance. They are based in Lansing, Michigan and some pretty cool people.

Wow! I wouldn't let my kids near it, and they are all grown up. Beautiful.

Ok, gotcha, and I'm sure handling is improved, but for me, I simply could ride that low - speedbumps, dips in the road, potholes and curb aprons would be a huge concern to me, particularly when loaded.

Correct. It's a custom designed air suspension utilizing OEM (electronically dampened) shock/struts, and a fully hidden install to retain full cargo area usage and spare tire (see pics below). System is AccuAir Elevel with 4 ride height settings: 1)stock 2)city cruise 3)highway cruise and 4)aired out. It's on the 4th setting in the pics above with the bags completely deflated. It makes for fun photos and and to get my wife to roll her eyes, but the car is not drivable in this setting (the car pops up to stock with the push of a button and I have 2 low/extra low settings in between).

I also colored matched the bumper markers and went with gloss black mirror housings. It's APR stage 1 flashed and I have BC Forged 3-piece wheels and OEM S4 brakes getting installed in a few weeks
