[s13.dark1]

airbag suspention anyone ever heard or seen it ona 240? sucky idea? details please

[svensko]

Suspention? :smash:

[S13Boosts]

vip dude! dot dot dot

[B Love]

Expensive. Not good for daily driving or track. I doubt too many people have it

[Andrew Bohan]

airbag = looks, show car

coilovers = performance, race car

[ILoveJDM]

like these?

Ksport USA - Performance Suspension (http://www.ksportusa.com/asp/air_suspension_detail.asp?product_id=as02)

looks like a coilover with an airbag on top.

i wonder how it handles, maybe alright for a dd/weekend track car?

[ZX88]

wow that shit is expensive. not worth it especially for a 240. maybe if it was a y33 or some other vip car.

[CIutchCollidE]

I dont think airbags on a 240 would work well for dd, but I haven't tried "performance" airbags before.

[origin_s135]

airbags work well on DD wtf.

[touge monster]

you can get some quality coilovers for that price... or a s13 in GOOD condition.

[origin_s135]

most of us on here put in shitloads of money into our cars. 4g's ain't shit if you think about it.

[ILoveJDM]

if it makes any difference, thats the "pro" model, includes some fancy's like a remote for the bags

the basic one is about 1k cheaper msrp

im still wondering if itd be ok for track, but i agree, that amount of cash could get you a very nice set of coils.

*waiting on yakota's reply*

[ericcastro]

I am curious about daily use. Cause I would like to have a S14 thats really low on some Works for my daily.
But I dont want the ruff ride. Dates dont really dig it either.
So If I could raise my car on bags, would it ride comfortable??

[B Love]

bags are super soft sometimes too soft. So you might rub alot from going over bumps and such

[98koukile]

As long as you get good bags it would be awesome for DD, there's a video of a s15 with bags thats set up for the track

Ride has as much to do with the damper as the spring

[mothon]

I think its pretty dope, especially for having a low dd with a kit...the only thing i dont like is the cheap struts.

The Bee*R S15 has airbag suspention. :)

[S14DB]

Looks like $2400~2500 for a kit.


But, those look wide as hell. I dunno if I could clear my wheels.

[sc300fivespd]

get coilovers then get a UAS bag system which replaces the spring on the coilovers... thats the only way to do it with coilover.. and thats what we lexus guys do it works great and handls too you can even drift on it. :bigok:

Here's another option:
Air Force Suspension (http://www.airforce-sus.com/product.htm)

[Deftec]

I've read of a subaru guy using the coilovers with bags....claimed he loved it. I always thought of bagging mine and doing a VIP theme on it, but I don't want to have to worry about blowing a bag driving down the highway(happened to a friends before).

[MadmikeX3]

That Air force Suspension looks to be a good Deal. I went by a local mini Truck Shop Here In Charlotte and they quoted me like $500 to bag My Convertible. They said they just order the parts piece by piece and put it together themselves.

[J-Team]

show car - airbag

dd/track car - coilovers

nuff said.

ive been in air bags, Insanely smooooth. But I dont trust it.

[lizmo]

My buddy has a Air ride tecnology kit on a 70 Chevelle and it handles awesome. Granted those cars sucked from the factory so anything is an imporvment, but i could see it helping.

If you can't spell it you don't need it.

[Andrew Bohan]

how many race cars have air suspension?

that should tell you something.

[sc300fivespd]

you should do some research, there are a few depends on the setup. :wiggle: uas has bags that go over coils. k sport just came out with an air suspension kit complete with everything needed. or for the rich gangsters there is CANOVER from japan. its can air suspension. the coilover bag setup is stiff and durable. the k sport is good for the price and the fact that its complete. you dont have to fiddle and look for parts separately and peicing it together. the CANOVERS go for about 2-3 G just cans. ill try and post some pics....

[urmyhero4now]

canovers suck horribly.
ksport is garbage
if you want strut/bag setup

get some bilstein shocks
uas sleeve over

or

just go Easystreet chapman struts.

ROFL WHO LET YOU IN HERE? :cops: lolol jkjkjk dude comon now, dont just put things out there if you dont know for a fact, false info sucks man.

[sc300fivespd]

okay everyone, i cant sleep :( so ill help out people that what to know more about air suspension...

Tank choices:

i have seen many types of thanks any thing from custom tanks to the cheapest, nitrus bottles drilled and welded up with fittings.

the most common is the normal tank style "double chode" which ranges from 3 gallons to god knows how big. they look like this. https://www.universalairsuspension.com/images/1.jpg

for people where space may be and issue there are pancake style tanks that work just as well but are shaped different, usually mounted in the tire compartment. and they look like this.
http://www.airrunnersystems.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/2889-pancake-tank-kit.jpg

Lets move to BAGS.

BAGS:

there are separate bags, cups, cans, and bag over coils.

this is what a free standing bag looks like. this is something we cant use, usually for domestics and trucks.

EXAMPLE:

https://www.universalairsuspension.com/images/2500conti.jpg


this is the UAS bag for mounting over a coilover setup. this replaces the springs on the coilover setup. this setup is the one that give you the most insane DROP you can ever want...

EXAMPLE:

https://www.universalairsuspension.com/images/aerosport.jpg

here is the CUP setup. not alot of people ma have heard or seen these but the cup is mounted on the top of the spring on the coilovers. you set the coilovers to the lowest you want the car with the cups not pumped. and also the lowest setting with the cups, not pumped can essentially be used on the track and the suspension acts like it would normally with no air.... then depending on the size (length) of the cup you get that much additional lift when you want your car raised. as far as i know some lambos and ferraries are using this setup.

EXAMPLE:

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jzz30tt/IMG_7828.jpg?t=1224867247


for the true rich ass ballers we have CANOVER. these replace the shock and spring... the coilover is replaced compleatly. these are the most adjustable and most durable, fo rthe fact that if your tire is rubbing against it it will not wear it out causeing it to pop (develope a hole) like a bag would.

EXAMPLE:

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p289/xnotoriousfobx/IMG_0767.jpg

here is the canovers on a SC

SHUT UP ABOUT KSPORT.. LOLOLOL:fruit:

[yokotas13]

ok i just saw this shit
all you guys saying that air bags suck dick for track are dumbasses.



if you invest the time, and research, they are EVERY bit as good as a decent coilover, but twice as much....
not gonna lie at all. if you take the time, send the bag to someone that can get an appropriate comparative static spring rate at a specific psi, then revalve the coilover to that relative rate, you will be affectively riding on normal coilovers at the height.


i had zero, NO, bouncing, or other stupid shit going on with my airbag on cst setup.
clears wheels just like a normal coilover would, since the bag shoudl be residing ABOVE your tire level, just like a spring should.

all you guys talking shit, dont do it unless you know. for fucks sake, i drifted UP the diafuto ramp onto the expressway in my cedric.....with no problems.

and just to proove a point, i might just order bags for hte legacy and track it. or not. but its a possibility

[RiceEata]

who makes the cup style airbags?
that looks like the way to go.

[LA_phantom_240]

I seriously want to bag my s14 and get some dope wheels and aero...

[sc300fivespd]

the cups are Roberuta Cup Kits.. its by top secret... just search air cup kit or cup air suspension.

[yokotas13]

which are 3k +

i can setup a complete coilover and airbag suspension from NEW parts for around 3500.00

[sc300fivespd]

fool, whats up with your attitude.. go make an air suspension setup then dont bug us about it, he wanted to know what company its by.

[yokotas13]

lol stfu with your 31 posts

canover sucks dick for this application anyways.

[sc300fivespd]

FUCK YOU, i never said any thing was good for any application. did i say anything about drifting with any type of air? wtf are you talking about??? i have no time to have and internet fight with you grow up and stop fueling a random fire. if thats too hard for you to understand im saying stop talking if you have nothing positive to say. im just putting information on this thread and im not taking sides of any suspention whatssoever. i could care less what people get as long as it works for the aplication and requirements they are looking for in a particular setup. never the less i am happy to hear your oppinion and how you feel. thank you.

[yokotas13]

good, youve said your peace, now let someone that knows whats up with the kind of setup an Schassis would use step in :)


deuces

[KA-T_240]

I can not remember the company, but they went through and put airbag setups in like 10-15 different cars. They invited lots of press/magazines/racers ect... to come test them on the road course. There was lots fo SHOCKED people after the avent. I watched it on powerblock like 3 years ago.

[yokotas13]

easystreet

air is no joke

[scweet1]

I wouldn't touch the ksport set up, even with a 10 foot pole....

[OTG Vinyl]

that should tell you something.

How many race cars are street legal?
How many race cars are daily driven?
How many race cars are show worthy?

Air Ride Technologies.

You're the one with 8000 posts in 30 months. Awesome!

And no, i'm not agreeing with him, either. He's a little too.... quick to judge.

[420sx]

bags are super soft sometimes too soft. So you might rub alot from going over bumps and such

false, depends on the bags. you can get super stiff ride with bags.

[Bobadrift]

who makes the cup style airbags?
that looks like the way to go.

As stated before, Roberuta makes cup style air suspensions. Also Air Force Suspension( Air Force Suspension (http://www.airforce-sus.com/) ) utilizes cup style as well. They're much cheaper than Roberuta as well.

With the cup style suspension it is not recommended to ride with air in the cups at high speed for long distance. This was developed more for cars to use when they need to get over a speed bump or a steep driveway and then lower afterward.

[PBucch]

Some of you guys need to do the following

1) understand how your cars suspension is set up and works
2) learn about airbag suspension
3) learn about the different kinds of airbags available
4) make your own setups.

DO IT FAGS and stop talking shit.

me personally? id save the air suspension for trucks.

[silviachik420]

i been wanting to put air on my 13 for a while now think ima have to try out those cups

[loveskylines]

fool, whats up with your attitude.. go make an air suspension setup then dont bug us about it, he wanted to know what company its by.


sc300fivespd, dont worry about it... yokota13 has a bad attitude ALWAYS...

i bought his air suspension off of him awhile back....
you can search the forums for it....
his customer service, quality of parts sold is questionable....

if he was more accommodating and apologetic i would be more understanding....but he is just full of excuses, one-way opinions, and selling off damaged parts.....his "word" is non-existent...

i know i'm not a expert by any means... but i KNOW there are many more qualified "experts" that have more objective thoughts on different products than yokota13

good luck on your suspension choices:wiggle:
