Lincoln Mark VIII Fast Bag Setup

"SET-UP: 6 valves - 4 SMCs for fill and two small Snap Tite (3/32" orifice) valves for dump.

The front and rear were set up to raise for one second each. The rear goes way too high if not slowed down. The front goes too high as well. The car was also timed to dump for six seconds. The second portion of this video shows the whole car raising off a one-second pulse. The rear still was a bit fast and goes a little high. I installed a ball vavlve on each bag to slow it down. Dump was set for three seconds."

Found this somewhere, this isn't my car!

compared to Thunderbird how does this car handle in the corners?

i owned a cougar and a mark viii, .. this car is much much softer over the bumps. It has a little more body roll, but A LOT less than a stock towncar or crown vic. I find the stock sway bar to be just right. Some people put in a thicker one which greatly helps in the corners. I very really hear the tires talking to me when taking on-ramps hard enough to cause passenger complaints, so I like it.

hold up thats fast bags??? i get hop my tc 6-8 inches & kick 3 wheels

[ryaske]

fast bags compared to a stock mark8. Your tc doesnt have stock bags, so fast better mean REALLY fast.

This guy is still using his stock bags.. everything else was upgraded

[ryaske]

i told you the setup already. You will need to do all those things to get your car to raise or lower this fast.

[ryaske]

not my setup! Found the video online somewhere. He put larger 2-way lines, new solenoid valves, a 2gal (i think) tank. and kept the stock compressor with a high/low switch.

love it, i have a 95 Lincoln continental, and i'd like it to move abit faster ... and have some control on the air bags like a manual override or something.

Did you say fastbag???

[vendediesel]

@golem72002 Very different feel between the cars, I would def have to say the cougar/tbird aside from having springs instead of bags, the mark is considerably heavier and the extra rear overhang makes it alittle less stable on the twisties.

Weak.

@heymargaretlook YOU GOT THAT RIGHT !! MORONS ON THE LEFT AND IDIOTS ON THE RIGHT. Next you'll make it a DONK CAR.
