Default Air ride for tC, read here

For those looking for air ride for your tC, we all know that nobody makes a kit for our car, , but, that may change soon!

Air Ride Technologies' Operations Manager will be contacting me next week to setup an appointment to inspect the Scion tC to determine how a kit or parts can be machined or parts already packaged to get the tC on air ride!

Now, i know that very few people already have air ride on their tC but this advantage will put the guess work out of what works, what fits and so on...

As far as I can see, Air Ride Technologies guarantees their products to have no defects forever. Now, they do not mean forever seriously but they do brag about how long their systems last and said that one particular setup had to be replaced because it rusted after 17yrs, hehe.

Anyways, this is one step closer to getting a new product for the tC.

well, you are right as i just found out. $2999 minimum with no details on parts...

I'm still going over their next week and see what the Manager thinks about the car.

Now, i'm not saying that when i leave from there that they will start mass producing kits.... so nobody get that idea.

If they can make up an entire "kit" for the tC reasonably priced, then yea, i'll post it here.
If it's a ridiculous price because it's the first one made by them, i'll probably say it's a no go.

Oh man, I would love to have an air ride suspension on my tc. Thats my biggest fear of dropping it, not being able to raise up at will.

thats why i want one, lol.

They do mention that the kits that they sell recommend using struts so that when the struts are completely deflated, their is at least 2" clearance to prevent damage if the system were to fail for some extreme rare reason.
