Having air ride suspension is a little scary, why? because if for some reason a bag rips or an air line gets cut, the car will be so low that you won't be able to drive it like that. This is something all people that put air bags, either on trucks or cars have to know and think about.

That's why its important to use good reliable parts and get the air lines routed securely.

Anyhow, I have had the UAS aero sport bags on mine for like a year and no problems at all. Bags are tight.

slowpokeGS

where did you get yours at and how much for everything?

I pretty much pieced my air setup together. Just started buying parts for it, like the air valves and tank first, compressors, fittings, air sensors and meter, switchbox, etc.

Couple of pics of the front setup.

I really don't know much everything costed since I bought all in pieces and such. The ride is very smooth. Cool thing about these bags is that you don't need a lot of pressure to lift up the car, as opposed to other bags like sleeves.

ive got my kit on the way so ill post up pic's of the install for the UAS kit. and do a wright up about it on here for the peeps who want to do this as a diy. you should really look into this kit if air is the way you want to go.

rgarjr...is your bags installed on the oe struts? if so how much modding is needed to them for the install?

regulatorr

Yes, that would be great. A DIY write up would be perfect, seeing that installation for Airbags cost a grip these days.

slowpokeGS

hey toeb, love the idea for a write up. make sure you also include all the custom parts needed for the install.

id give you a hand if you werent so far away. goodluck with everything

Yes they are on OEM kyb struts. U dont need to do any modifications to the struts at all. You simply just tap out (take out) the lower spring seat out of them. The front is really the simplest to do, just slip on the bag on to the strut and put on the top mount. I had Tein CS coil overs before so I used the top mounts from them.

As far as the rear goes, I'm using the oem top mounts. U just need to cut out some notches for the air fitting and 2 smaller ones for the bolts. Not much fab involved.

Nice thing about these bags also is that they don't may any noise at all while you're driving. Back in the day I used to have some air struts from airlift and aim and they used to make all kinds of annoying noises.

Just a little bit curious.
But i was wandering if you have air suspension, Do you only have 2 options, like
Stock height or slammed... Or do you have more options such as stock height, A height that you want for DD & last but not least slammed. Thats just the only part im unclear on.

U can get lower than than stock and slammed (dumped). Really high would not be good cuz you would have the bags all inflated, and therefore not ride as good.

So what is the total height adjustment with these? Do you think that it has 4 to 5 inches of a range in movement up and down?

Has anybody heard of this place? http://www.vtkustoms.com/default.asp
Do these kits look solid?

toeb

is this bag on a oe strut and do you have pics of the rear?
