Air ride suspension.

[Chris86.5]

So obviously suspension swap is on my list but i want to do air ride suspension. does anyone have any experience with this?? any stores that i could check out on the web to look at prices and stuff?

whats his face with the yellow kaze aero supra had it.

a terrible thing to do to a supra IMNSHO.

 

[Chris86.5]

why is that tho, you can adjust it like coilovers. pretty much do anything, except it uses air

dont know the reasoning behind it, but i suppose coilovers are meant to take track abuse and are therefore height adjustable; air ride suspension might just be designed to raise/lower car at the owner's whim?

well my supra isnt for the track, i wont be racing it. most i want is like 300hp max. im custom making my whole interior and that. plus its a daily driver. and i want a soft suspension for a nice smooth ride

It was Mello, and he pulled it off because it drove like a wet sponge.

Sorry, Grim. It was Acroth.

I thought they were trying to get air ride so it could be set up for racing and whatnot? As mentioned it can be fully adjustable like coilovers. Not saying I would put it on my car, just saying there is more to the technology than lowriders.

It was Acroth and he just was using small air cylinders. Air bags have come a long ways, and yes they do make performance air bags that handle and adjust like coilovers.

I think that it will require some fabrication on your part, but I would say go for it, just don't half ass it, go all out and do it right. Go out on the web and start doing your research, you're not going to find the answers you want here.

 

[Chris86.5]

yea nothing i do on this car will be half-assed, i dont want to be breakin down anywhere.

 

[GrimJack]

Sorry, Grim. It was Acroth.

Dammit! You're right. I get all the yellow guys confused... except Suze.

 

[Dirgle]

That would probably be because she is not a guy.

 

[kntmikado]

Dammit! You're right. I get all the yellow guys confused... except Suze.

It was the Kaze kit that reminded me.

If they really make air cylinders that handle just as well as coilovers, then I'm definitely intrigued...

i read an article where they installed air-ride type bags for racing on a subaru WRX... worked well, offered instant switching to track mode and a relatively stock feel in the touring mode... kinda expensive and a bit heavy for the pump but... awesome for someone wanting track and street suspension and no under-fender spring rate changes.

i could go look for the manufacturer's name if you are interested. i'd have to find the mag though...

air ride is great if done right but there is alot more weight involed thou but meh supra heavy any ways go for it
