Want information about air bags Options

[Illyont]

Could anyone with air bags or knowledge about these tell me the pros and cons from using bags?

Do you have to refill the air tank from time to time or does that in some magical kind of way refill itself or something? How does a car on bags handle versus stock or coils, regular springs etc?

How much weight can you put in the car and still be able to raise/lower the car on the fly?

How hard is the install?

Any useful info you think I should know before getting bags. Thanks in advance!

Wow some misleading information here. I am not a bag expert by any means but gonna get some soon on a 6gc as well I have tons of mini Truck friends on bags.

you have a compressor, tank, lines, valves, then electrical.

Air Struts are a blot on application but need to be rebuilt at least once a year if not more. Air Bags will also ware out(after some time) but dont need to be rebuilt, but custom brackets in most case's have to be made.

Compressor is really a throw up, its basicly you get what u pay for. I would run one really nice one 400$+ or a few smaller ones to keep that PSI up and also so when you come out to your car you can build PSI fast at least to get to ride height.

I would say at least a 5-7gallon tank to hold air because if your hitten switches alot you need alot of air at high PSI

Valves, you need one per bag/strut if you just want front and back, or dual vavles if you want a 10+ switch box.

Air line Size... bigger is faster... I am personaly gonna run 1/2" line on my celica but thats just because I want to jump, 3/8's or 1/4' will do the job but wont jump nor slam your car hard on the ground.

Little word to the wise, go all DOT approved fittings/line if you live in a state where the can legally pop your hood and inspect your ****, also if you hit switches infront of a cop they have the legal right to check all your fitting's and lines.

Any other questions let me know.

I don't live in a state at all.. I live in Norway and it's almost like California out here.. Everyone is strict about everything. So I'm not sure they will allow me bags at all, but I have to ask first. I might get lucky. Thanks for your reply though
