Unfortunately I'm in the process of pulling all my custom parts as I'm getting ready to sell the car.

No prob Well some tanks, steel, can weigh several pounds more. If weight is your concern then you just buy the components that will give you your savings

Not really sure what I'm getting next. I'll probably just get something ultra practical(cheap ) now and get back into a Mustang when the new ones come out in a couple years.

If you don't mind, do you have any pics on how you installed your compressors,tanks etc in the coupe? Due to the limited trunk space in my vert, I ended up pulling my spare tire and placing my components in the spare tire well. I was curious to see how you arranged everything in your coupe.

I dont have any pics since its just thrown in there mounted to a false floor but my 2 tanks (5 gal ea) and the two compressors take up about all the floor. Then I have the big red valves mounted on the drivers side. I mounted a piece of plywood to where the carpet panel mounts and then drilled a hole on the fenderwell flange for stability. Eventually I will get the valves concealed behind the carpet which i still havent put back in.

Yah it's a pain trying to get all the components in and looking neat and orderly. Do you still have access to your spare tire or no? Do Shelby's even have a spare?.?.

I had two 3gal aluminum tanks, dual viair 400 compressors, the standard Ridetech valve block, and their e3 controller box all mounted on a board under a false floor in the spare tire well. Unless you were familiar with Mustangs, looking in my trunk you'd never know all that crap was hidden under the floor.

Heck I could still get two full sets of golf clubs in my trunk.

Oh and if you know anyone wanting a very nice air ride setup at a good price let me know. It's a pretty trick system as it uses ride height sensors and air pressures rather than just air pressures alone. The system only about 3k miles on it. Heck the whole car only has 5k miles on it...geez I need to get out more.

Hi Ken,

Dont really have access to the spare tire well but Shelbys dont come with a spare tire anyways, just a compressor.

No one off hand, have mine to sell too lol.

Nice slam, sick looking ride.

Out of curiousity, how long did the install take?
For example, if I were to take a kit to the shop and ask them to install, how many hours would they quote me?

Also, I WAS interested in this setup prior to getting on my KW Variant 1s Coilover kit. But I was told it wouldn't be good (Pressure/compression) on a WINTER DRIVEN vehicle (yay Kanada).
Also, know anyone that daily drives a bag'd mustang?
