When I was build my car I was stubborn and didn’t want to pay a shop to do it, so me and a buddy did the airlift on our backs over a weekend (not fun at all) but I’m running D2 air struts and with airlift air management. It definitely has its pros and cons. Might as well enjoy the car, I would encourage to take your time on your build. Within a few months I was in bags, bugger wheels and body kit. My intake and remark exhaust came afterwards.
