tell me about it. i already screwed up some of my paint and put a little crease in one of my fenders trying to make it fit with my front wheels. but i don't want to spend the money to replace a fender right now so i guess i'll live with it since it's not too bad. oh well. it's just a car. but now i feel like i shouldn't be cutting up my car so much since i'm hearing things like the xB is hard to get now and they might discontinue it in a few years. if they do, i am literally going to buy 2 new xBs and put them in storage or something. it's going to be hard for anyone to come up with a cooler car than the scion xB, in my opinion.

eric:
hello. great looking ride. did you make the air ride yourself? where did you get the hardware?
i went to master image customs for a new install, and the quoted me $4300 for rear bags, front cylinders and all hardware. very expensive. need more info, please.

we get all the hardware from industrial air suppliers, not shady automotive supply places. it's all stuff that is used in heavy duty applications in automation and such. i have a degree in automated manufacturing and i used to build industrial robotics before i got into lasers, and SMC is the best quality stuff that i know of for valves and cylinders. it's all made in japan and lasts longer than any other brand i've heard of. my friend nick, who i will be doing the installs with, has done over 100 custom airbag/cylinder setups. if you've seen a truck video with cars/trucks on bags, he has done some of them. there aren't very many people in the country who specialize in doing air, so this is a good opportuninty for you guys who are interested. even though nick isn't building air systems professionally anymore since he is into performance now, he needs money to finish his project car and this is a great way to get some extra cash and also help out all the scion people.
if you have any more questions, please let me know. we don't want to force this kind of setup on anyone, because air is not for everyone. but if it's something you want or have been wanting, this is your chance to get a quality air setup at a good price.

Eric,
I may be interested in just the brackets, did you say they are bolt in? Also, can you give me the SMC part # for the cylinders you used? I have a source for SMC parts wholsale in my area so it would be easy to just get the brackets from you and the parts up here.
Thanks,
Bob

my wheels are 19" axis mesh 2. you can see them on the axis website. there is a picture of my car there, as well. i ordered them from www.scioned.com. they have really good prices and are really cool to deal with. i highly recommend them.
hopefully i can get into "box" magazine or something one day. i really need to enter some shows or it will never happen though.

i chose 19" before i decided to put the car on air. but i am selling my 19s and i am going to try other options for now. although i looks awesome on those big wheels. turning radius is like stock.

Air bags
Eric the XB on bags looks sick. Have always thought about airbags on a ride... Whats the maintence hours to keep everything running correctly so your front end doesn't drop right into the ground while your driving??? Let me know I'm hightly interested.
