Well, finally I get her up, or down maybe the right word. This is the lowest I can get without c-framing but this will do for now. Fortunately the snow have melt over here and I was able to get the old lady out for a test-drive.

I went for a small test-drive and so far it looks good. The 4-link made a huge improvement compared to my previous setup with leaf spring. And the Air suspension rides real smooth even if I have to use some 80-psi in my front bags to get my design ride height. But it's a pretty heavy car so that was no surprise. I trim my front spring pockets enough to be able to put in some 2600 style bags in the future if I want. And the handling seems fine even that I only have 4 valve, front/back instead of 8. No problem to handling curves.
Btw, thanks for the kind words guys. 8)
