Coil-Over-Bags set-up. Just Installed. Driveways... HA
#16
Thanks guys, I was getting tires of hitting driveways are hard angles.
As to the ride height, The system doesn't have a manifold so you can't adjust it on the fly. It just has open-close vavles. I have pressure regulators on the intake and exhaust so I can adjust the height the bags will lift and the speed that the car lowers. When the bags are empty the car rides totally on the springs.
You can have the bags and springs work together if you want but I only wanted it for getting over obstacles. Plus it would cost more. So the normal ride height is set by the coilovers.
Here are some deflated and inflated pics and a video of the process.
Just click on the pic below for the video.
Yes the compressor is loud but there is nothing you can do about it. At least it doesn't stay on that long. And you can't really hear it in the car.

No I'm not selling a kit but if you call up Universal Air Suspension and talk to Zack, he knows all about the install and what you need. If you are really interested I can help you out any way I can.

You could. Just have the bags filled when you drive around. But if you where going to do that just do a straight airbag swap. Airbags now-a-days handle very well. But yes you can have it set up that way. You will be able to adjust your ride height no problem just not on the fly. Unless you get a controller.

Yeah, I don't know how people could mount that IN their cars. It's pretty noisy, I mean I wanted it SILENT. I have an aluminum diffuser in the rear that covers the whole set-up from any road grime.
