Talking Air Suspension

Ok so i have been doing some hinking


I have decided the eibach 25mm is not for me as there is not adjustability

So then i thought of coilovers etc but this again is just not what im going for with my car.

i have been thinking about the air ride suspension system

Has anyone done this before? Can it be done? Any ideas, links, prices etc all welcome as always guys

Cheers

Alex

Re: Air Suspension

So you planning on setting up some hydraulics in the boot then?

Re: Air Suspension

Not sure what he wants. I just saw a Honda Civic today with hydraulics and it had the most complicated looking setup in the boot - took up about 2/3 of it. He can raise the front and back around 14/15"

Re: Air Suspension

That will be the rams etc in the boot. Air doesnt have them.

But you will need to find somewhere for the compressor and the tank.

I got plenty of lift at the back
