Why v2 over your existing Elevel? Just wondering bc I know you put quality stuff and airlift stuff is quality, however been reading alot of v2 switching or back to Elevel. Cannot wait to see your car

basically there is no room to mount the sensors. the awd, muffler and auto-leveling headlights get in the way in the rear and in the front the tierods, axle and sways get in the way. not to mention the front control arms have no simple place for mounting and if you mount them into the fenders you will hit them when turning full lock. conclusion: unless you want to start cutting up your brand new car and making custom parts you arent going to get them mounted and if somehow you do get them mounted the probablilty that something happens to cause them to fail is quite high. not worth it to me.
