Air-Bag Suspension, Anyone have it? Options

[kman2010]

Just wondering if anyone has an air bag suspension, i was thinking of it for my 6G. but then i was thinking control on turns, because if they are loose/soft, i dont want to be swaying all over the place. but it would definatley protect my body kit and paint investment over the harsh New England weather.

Comments, Pictures, Thoughts are all welcome

thank you sooo sooo much for spelling my name right

yeas i have air i love it but i drive the car like 1 or 2 days a week the ride is a soft bump not stiff like springs and i take corners just like i did before.......fast

it really matter how high or low you drive the car
this is me all the way to the ground


this is the car all the way up


i love it but if it was a daily driver i would never do it only for something you drive every once and a while

mines an everyday driver.
doesn't bother me a bit. ride quality is about the same as coilovers but w/o the popping noise.
i have a crap load of vids floating around on here. i have a couple in my cardomain site that shows me playing with the bags.

I have to get mine inspected every year here in Pennsylvania and they never say anything about the air ride except how cool it is. You will be fine as long as your not stupid with it. I know here in PA if your caught playing with it on the road they will make you take it off. I don't recomend it for a daily driver. It gets annoying on long trips.

playing with it? I do plan on using it if i'm getting ready to turn into a steep driveway... or over speed bumps... etc... but i don't plan on just driving down the road poping it up and down.. will they still say something you think??

Alright to save a new thread, I have a question about air ride. Has anybody heard of AIM industries? I was thinking about getting a kit from them.

http://airbagit-store.com/product_list.asp?id=2122

Are any of those kits any good or would i be better off just buying all the parts individually and putting my own kit together?

[Phat_99CeliGT]

AIM is a good company.
u might find that buying everything seperately will be cheaper.

most expensive part is gonna be the bags.

[Jaws4God]

well have run into several problems

one of the switches broke.
two of the block valves have cracked

so right now we are trying to work with these problems

HOW LOW KAN U GO???? uhhh.....Hitting the ground is pretty much it!

[rob7796]

I got my whole set up from AIM. I haven't had any problems with it yet. I've bought a ton of stuff from AIM through the years and I can't be more satisfied.

[Jaws4God]

I went with aim too... we finally got the suspension in and working.. Just have a very slight leak in rear setup..

I wasn't too happy with Aim cuz they sent block valves which i asked not for... 2 of them cracked already and one of the switches broke....

Right now i need to find out why the steering is so crazy

What kit did you guys get? I know there was like kit I, kit II and kit III is there much of a difference in the kits?

[forkee]

AIM = art in motion???

how much was their set up?

i have jared's setup but had to cut it down to just front/back because one of the valves was bad. i also made my own configuration. check the link in my sig for up/down pics

[Jaws4God]

I needed to ask you all with bags if there is any way i can add some kinda spacer on the back left strut... the car sits a little lower on that side and the sideskirt hits the ground... can I just set some kinda washer on top of the bag itself? Please let me know what you all think I could use to do something like that. Thank You!

Air Suspension leak help.. My tank is leaking.. and I am not sure what it is... we pulled the tank out, when it had 60 psi and took it up to a bath tub.. didn't see any bubbles..
but when its in the car, it started leaking.. but varied.. sometimes its a slow leak.. like 20 or 40 psi overnight.. sometimes it fast.. like 60psi in 3 or 4 hours..

My dad thinks its the check valve sticking.. and depending on the compressor piston, it will leak differently.. any ideas??

Thanks!
