got any pictures of the air bag setup? i want to re-do the tired rear suspension of my car, and sometimes tow a trailer. lol was thinking of using air bags, a compressor and a set of digital gauges and switches. (screw old school stuff)
-on an unrelated topic I was bored at work yesterday and installed a Tekonsha P3 Brake controller in my car.... supposed to be one of the best ones out there. i just wanted it for the digital volt meter. ($240 later) hahahaha for free!
well thats shelf price, we get them for cheaper than that too, like $100 or something. but i still got mine for free.

just imagine red bags jammed inside the rear springs with air lines running out of them.. lol

ive installed probably 50 sets of air ride kits in trucks, and a couple toyota FJs, but was there a kit for your car? or did you just measure the spring and send that in? (i have unileaf on the back so i need more mods than just adding the airbag. )

[Superdave]

yah, there is a kit for my car.

they're just helper bags, not like an air ride kit kit. these are just low pressure bags that fit inside the rear springs.

Dave your wheels are on backwards, assuming you have a full set of two lefts and two rights.

i know, i like them that way.

my verdict is that the bags didn't help much at all, the car still squats in the back on launches and during shifts. I ran 40 PSI till one of the lines got melted by the exhaust.. lol

next track rental it's getting the bump stops to lock the rear in solid.. and maybe some limiter straps for the front.


I need to buy a trailer for this thing..
