I'm wondering if that compressor will fit where the abs module goes. If so there is a nice empty black tray waiting on a compressor WOOT

Personally I love it, I've gone for a few 100+ mile trips and played around with the pressure a bit, when you hit the sweet spot the ride is second to none. I have noticed It handles better, seems a bit tighter in the corners now, plus with the HID and 55watt passing lamps if someone pisses me off I just slam it and BAM, all the light in the world right In their mirrors..

Yet another thing the holidays are slowing down... He's out of town right now, but he told me that any 2 way remote will work and that he used a little transponder of some sorts.. I'm going to beat him when he gets back and make him write it all down. Then I will have some solid answers for you guys..
