[fragancia6036]

Anybody knows how much?????

[pappivega]

how much does it cost ????????

[pavan151]

[cultivationist]

ahahahah the peugeot is so riced at at :40

[opo1293]

its like telling a dog to sit down!

[zoneporno]

As this cost??

[palonitas]

can u have it without the noise of the compressor?

[stilspinin]

@palonitas Yeah, but you would have to manually fill your air tank, and if you run  out of air and your by nowhere to fill it up your shit out of luck. 1 Viair compressor is not loud at all.

[LADYSLiiK15]

i want to do this to my daily nissan versa hatch. just dont know where to start... any suggestions? oh and can you put airbags to a car that has camber wheels?

[stilspinin]

@LADYSLiiK15 What are camber wheels?

[LADYSLiiK15]

i want to do this to my daily nissan versa, just dont know where to start. any suggestions?

[dritch1996]

Howmuch does this cost

[BlackThunderProd]

is this expensive??

[Gman2009fish]

what is the car at 0:37 to 0:46

[MADMODDA]

@Gman2009fish CITREON SAXO 

[madjimms]

@wileygenius Hydraulics can have accumulators which are like a bladder of fluid to act like a shock.

[cash4sellers]

What about if breaks down the suspensions? ...Can you still drive the car?

[gadejfan]

What would you do about the wheels hitting the wheelwells. Would you just have to get bigger wheel wells?

[miguelgaio]

those body kits wont live long to tell the story...

[imawdd]

all those cars r crazy looking

[ROJELLO13]

my dad has this in his benz it came with it

[MrTungau]

nice technology but expensive in cost.

[Legendation]

It's ALIVE!!!! XD!

[motocrossmagic]

i honestly have no idea but could you do this to a classic mini cooper because i have been looking to do something like this to it for ages please help asap

[turbophil2]

Yes we can. If you check out the site and look under Classic Mini you will see more info, or give us a call during the week.

[motocrossmagic]

i cant find the classic mini on the site can you send me the link?¿?

[gokutmn]

lolz it feels like the cars are breathing ;D

[STranZ1]

Listen i got a celica Year 2001 and i would love to put some Air Supsentions on it. Would you think i need to change my mudgourds? cause they are still stock but I like how they Look :) please Respond thanks ^^

[akgrad10]

My 06 Land Rover Lr3 has that

[evilcurren]

these airbags are really slow need bigger lines in it. what size lines are u running. i got a front back side side airbag kit and its way quicker than this...

[turbophil2]

Speed is not everything - these are modified cars, which are built specifically NOT to have really fast air suspension as this just damages bodywork. Most of the cars here use 1/4 or 3/8 line, and the maximum we use if 1/2 inch. Fast also means hard to hit the pressure target - these are daily drives, and accuracy and durability are the overriding factors.

[deathcrayon]

i run 200 psi thru 1/2 inch lines and i drag door sil. I WIN

[vatan1923]

how much you think these kits?

[vatan1923]

what is this kit called? can I drive the way I want up and down?

[turbophil2]

You could but it would be very uncomfortable fully down or fully up. There is what we term a comfort window - the area that gives good ride, and good handling in the middle - about 2 inches of the 6 inches of travel for proper driving, You can drive at any height but only at very slow speed.

[vatan1923]

yeah I prefer at some wher at midel, I dont like to low and high, do u have any idea how much this kit would coast me?

[byebyehooptie]

Awesome work! So nice! Gotta get you to customizing a Sci-OOOOOOOOooown!

[Axelga2112]

0:37 look at that back

[turbophil2]

It is a Citroen Saxo that we customised, and was a cover car for one of the magazines.

[traxxasrockhead]

nice

what's the music???

[gabriel4eva]

haha that small cars look mean!! nice!

[68yello]

E cosa serve una cazzata del genere?

[emeca19]

how much does it cost to get this?

[turbophil2]

That depends a great deal on the vehicle in question, and on the speed of operation of the system. Please cll or email with specific details for a quote.

[betatestersrule08]

the cars at :30 and at the end are hot.

[jameshop]

il forward the idea of replacing the coils on their cars to everyone i know who is running coilies

you seem to be adamant that air ride is good, so i'll take your opinion on board, but adjustable coil-overs is the easiest way to improve your suspension.

plus im not into the whole pumps and crap weighing the car down

not the fiberglass, 20" chromes, lexus lights, lambo doors look but they arent really after track day suspension, so air ride is perfect for them to show their mates in the carpark

[turbophil2]

Adjustable coil-overs are cheaper that is true. It is also lighter that also is true, but the versatility of air is unparalleled - it has an infinitely variable spring rate.

The compressors only weight a few kilos - maybe you are thinking of hydraulics which does have big pumps.

Many american muscle cars use air to improve the handling - not coilovers.

I agree that it is not for everyone, but I guarantee that if you fit both to exactly the same car then air will come out best.

[jameshop]

if you're clever you will buy adjustable height coil-overs.

[turbophil2]

We will see who is clever, when I can adjust my car from fully up to fully down once per second, and you need twenty minutes to adjust your coil-overs!!!

Oh and the new quantum sport bags we use handle as good as a coil conversion, whilst riding as well as the original suspension - pretty clever really.

[jameshop]

or you could set your coil-overs to a low ride height and keep them like that, without bouncing them up and down. there is no way air bag suspension will ever handle as well as coil-overs, to people who like the look of the saxo in the video, (at least i think thats what that thing is) then im sure they will be very popular... for me though, its got to be height and dampener adj's everytime.

[turbophil2]

On what basis do you decide that air cannot match a coil spring - the dampers are the same, and the airbag is just an adjustable spring - so it can have exactly the same spring rate as the coil over when inflated - so if it has the same spring and the same damper, of course it will match the coil over.

Everyone has a choice, but its simply not true to say that the modern air system will not match a coil over set-up. It will, and they do, every day of the week.

thanks for the comments.

[ufah]

wait so when you install air bags you dont have to drop your car low?

[ufah]

is this air bags or no!

[turbophil2]

Yes they are air bags

[munch2006uk]

i still prfer the pumps its the sound that makes it cool 2 my mate has a old nissan on with pumps and a escort but you canyt get it on 3 wheels very well

[turbophil2]

You are right the hydraulic pumps do sound cool, but they are so heavy and its really difficult to get the cars to handle well. Thats not an issue with a good air install.

The hiss of the air has its own appeal for many people.

[turbophil2]

Yes the BMW's work very well on air - the ride and handling are so good that you would not know it had air until you drop the car.

[TheElwall]

Yeah, but when u actually go over a bump, with air suspension, it feels like u have no suspension, it is hard as fuck!!!

[turbophil2]

Then you have it set-up wrong try reducing the amount of air in the bags - Air suspension is softer than the standard suspension on most cars. Only when installed wrong (often to overcome large wheels) does it become harsh. Alternatively you may be getting confused with Hydraulics which normally ride harshly - air is soft.

[TheElwall]

what the hell is that meant to mean, is this really that frikin awesome!!!!!!!

[mikethecollector]

its so you can get low as hell to the ground when u want, and still get over curbs. Thats what's awesome.

[TheElwall]

What actually is the point in getting this for ure car. u look like a dick, and what do u gain from doing it, why not just get it lowered slightly!!!

[turbophil2]

Because air allows you to alter the ride height at any time - not just when you are in the garage.

Most "slightly lowered" cars end up with poor ride quality, and customers almost always want them lower, but cannot put up with wheels or bodykits touching. Air allows the best of all three factors - comfortable ride, good handling, and the ability to adjust the ride height at the touch of a button. Most car enthusuasts also see it as one of the coolest modifications you can make.

[straubey]

dude.. i had a few bagged trucks and first off, every one of them cars needs bigger valves cause they're all slow as shit, second ride quality with air blows dick unless you like riding on suspension that feels like a basket ball dribbling and anything bagged handles like a bag full of water, all swayin and sloshy, none the less i do like bags and miss my bagged minitrucks..

[LedZheaven]

ALI G in that house

lmao

[gooayH4]

its calld hydraulics lol

[veyronman]

not when it's powered by air... as this sytem is. hence the name "Air ride" and the video title "air suspension", and the part of the description that says "This video shows various cars onto which we have installed air suspension"

you're a moron

[chuppoafc]

No dude...this is different,this is with air...and i thought hydrolics is a different system...

this one is with a tank full of air filled by a small compressor...

[niswel]

aha, turns every car into a Citroen - that must be good! I like it!

[MarioManeski]

how much does it cost?

[lukaskrew]

what is that car on :52 seconds ?

[BlackCrow1515]

Looks like a Hyundai Tiburon.

[skaterkid901]

Could also be a Ford Puma.

[ollyb360]

i would have said maybe a Hyundai Coupe

[veyronman]

It's a renault Megane coupe

[turbophil2]

It is a Renault Megane Coupe with a bodykit.

[lukaskrew]

yea i did it with my bmw

its a e36 318i also

[Saphiriondragon90]

great

[santos30s]

WACK SET UUPS

[munch2006uk]

shit buy some real hydralics there alot better

[turbophil2]

For most people who want a set-up that is light, compact, and alters the car in about a second or two there is only 1 choice - AIR. I have cars with both and would always choose air over hydraulics if you are actuually going to drive it, becasue it has a better ride, and handling. You also don't need banks of batteries and pumps - some hydraulic systems weight up to 600Kg, and can rip the bodyshell apart - air normally comes in around 20Kg and I have never seen a road install destroy a car.

[agentcanman]

now that is some fucking tight shit

[nathgng]

you can do it to any car pretty much

[nebky]

ahh i would like to see u try it on a monster truck or even a landrova

[turbophil2]

Modern LandRovers and RangeRovers have air (a very cheap and nasty system) as standard mate - we have also done Hummers and they work great!!

[AmericanHvyMetal]

depends on the car and how stock you want to keep the interior looking. I have a friend who did it to his S10 for about $2500 but that's considering he did all his own fab work

[kkrashh]

Got Tuck?

[turbophil2]

Thats about the only thing that air does not do very well, as opposed to hydraulics, but given that air is so much better at almost everything its worth missing out for most people. Some cars will carry an element of tuck on the rear, but its not like hydraulics.

[justalittleobsessed]

some of those cars are HOT!!!!!

[fromthebighouse]

it's like a substatute for a crappy lowrider, its cheaper, but you can't get a good jump out of it, still, I have to idmit, it is very kool, hook it up yo

[AmericanHvyMetal]

That's why alot of lowriders are swapping out Air ride suspension for their heavy 11 battery having hydro set up? Give me 4 bags and a tank any day.

[bactoxicboy]

How much Cost that Air Suspension Kit?

[rostockk7a]

nice cars!!!!!!!

[MTXRides4Life]

airbags and hydraulics are two different things

[turbophil2]

very different things indeed

[fichk0]

would you noe a rough price on airbag hydraulics?

[schneedlebob880]

whats the car at o:50?

[turbophil2]

Renault Megane, with bodykit!!

[Gchoob]

That is cool, but my 31 year old Citroen came with air suspension as standard AND you can still drive with it slammed!

[turbophil2]

Citroens don't have air suspension, its hydraulic - and it will get damaged if you drive it slammed. Thanks for the comments anyway.

[Gchoob]

Well, you're right it's not 'air' it's called hydropneumatic and it's held up by hydraulics but the springs are air chambers. When slammed there are no forces in the system it rides on bump stops - I can assure you it's very tough! Sorry trying not to be pedantic but there are a lot of myths about it! Still lovin the air ride tho..

[turbophil2]

I always thorught the spheres were nitrogen filled, but I am sure you are right. The instructions still say not to drive the car with it slammed! My mums citroen takes ages to adjust the height - not as quick as airride, thats for sure.

[azndragon18]

whats the difference between the airbag and the hydraulics..? and which is the better one? and do they do different things? does the air bag kits make the whole body go up? or can u make them go up on each side as u want...?

[salemcripple]

In short. Air bags, are for lowering your car when parked or otherwise stopped (basically lower it for looks, then raise it to clear speed bumps ect, up and down thats it). While hydraulics are capable of doing "tricks" (hopping). But have a much worse ride, and you have to carry huge banks of batterys, pumps, and reservoirs. Where as in the air ride setup, all there is, is a air tank, and compressor.

[turbophil2]

Thats pretty good - except if you want air can do tricks as well - air can hope a car 5 foot in the air if you need!!!

[turbophil2]

Air tends to give a more confoirtable ride, can hadle better than original and still doing almost everything hydraulics do. The air bag will make the entire car go up if you press the button, or just the front, or just the corner you have selected - its completely independant - each corner can be controlled individually.

[livejoker22]

Very nice, but it may come very low that the tire may be rubbing the frame, so it would only use as show off or a great way of parking =) GREAT VID!

[turbophil2]

Most of the cars on the video are not very low, but on many the tyres do foul the bodywork at the lowest setting - this can be resolved by tubbing or turretting the towers if needed.
