I just checked out an XB on another scion site with air bags but they did not go into details as such; what is the name of the kit, price, availability, ease of installation if anyone out there knows of a place that sells a direct bolt on kit like this please let me know as I definately want to go this route plus I want to install it myself.

Thanks :roll:

Shweet! :D

that looks clean but i would upgrade the shocks and i wood put the valves out side . it will drive you crazy if they are inside

Just a little info for people who want bags. They are available in Japan if you don't mind paying shipping and the wait involved.

Would you have a name of a company Google search found like 50,000 results its not easy going thru all of them...... :shock: :cry:

thats not low enough... :lol: :lol:

That's an EAI setup. I have the same deal, but all my crap is mounted underneath.

its truly not a bolt in kit the front is but the back nedds to be welded if i start selling more of the kits maybe ill make the rears bolt in

No eai website?

HAHAHA BOBBY you need to learn how to do bags before you start sellin anything !!!!

Air Lift Company is doing their testing right now and should have a full kit out soon.

Here is the EAI website but no scion info that I could see.

i know there is a shop in san jose that knows how to bag them and he does good work he knows the guy that baged the green scion we have seen on sites but Sic Motorsports in san jose can make you a kit for the XB

mind rides great and does the other two that ive done

my set up was made not from eai but i can have a kit avalible i charge 1800 parts and labor

How much without the labor. Just for the kit?

for 1500 dollars i can send you a bolt in kit with new struts in the front so you can go back to stock when ever you what


the kit includes
2 bagged strut for the front with fittings
2 slam specialties bags with cups for the rear with fittings
1 viair 380
1 3 gallon tank
6 gc 450 psi 1/2 valves or 3/8 depending on what you want
set of fittings
3/8 dot air line for ease of movemant in tight areas
3 cole herse long toggle switches
and instruction

That's an EAI setup. I have the same deal, but all my crap is mounted underneath.

hows everything working?


It's working fine, I just want to change my lines to steel braided. I'm weary of the pressure fittings. And I need another compressor.

I have gotten mixed reviews about going with air bags. I like to have the option to raise or lower my XB whenever I want to but i don't want to compromise ride-a-bility with looks in other words i don't want to feel like I did when I rode around in my friends lowered pick up truck hell I felt like I was in one of those chocolate milk commercials (you know shake it up) but most of the negative comments come from people who don't even have air bags setup on their cars but they seem to know someone or first hand on how one would handle or ride. I want to first get my air brush done on my XB then I will decide if air bags are for me.....but hey thank you all for responding to my question it is deeply appreciated :wink: another question though where would I mount the air tank????? :?: :?: :?:

The ride ability with air bags are better than coils. They just need to be setup right and also have the right amount of air in them. I had bags on my truck and I had a _____in setup. I was able to ride about 2" off the ground and it rode like a caddy. For a truck setup it just needs to be setup right. For a scion I'm not sure on it because I've never work with struts before.

Just think about it before you do anything just remember there are a lot of maintainence when having air ride suspension. The water trap, making sure not to blow a bag, cut in the air line, compressors not working, valves sticking, switch box acting up. All these things can happen. Also make sure the person installing it knows what they are doing.

One thing stay away from cylinders. They are quick but the ride is not as good as bags.

buy at your own risk

Im also bagging my xb right now. I didnt go with the eai equipment since i didnt hear anything good about them with other kits. Instead im using the front set up off a toyota matrix (little modification needed) and 2500 lb bags in the rear. Right now the car sits on the tires (18s) but should be done tomorrow. If i can figure out how to post pics here i will.
