i have a couple of questions.are the bags seperate from shocks,struts, or are they one piece.if they are one piece is the height of the bag on the shock adjustable like a coil over.i ask this because the airbags will ride comfortably at a certain psi. then you want to be able to adjust the ride height of the car so you are still riding lowwwwww.

The ride height is only adjusted via the bag. On the front it is a bag on strut and in the rear it is an air bag seperate of the struts.

I think you are thinking of a generic mini truck system not a system custom designed for the vehicle..... if you can do a kit for $800 I would recommend you put a kit together and become a site sponsor and sell it. You would sell a ton of them.

So good luck to you if you can really do it.

parts are cheap. i wish i can put a kit together, but do not want to deal with liability issues. i am a hobbiest welder, not a certified welder. in order for me to sell or modify any suspension parts, i need a welding permit. this is not a custom kit. its a sleeve up back and a aero strut bag up front, each cost around $80. easy install.

i have installed similar setups for jettas and pt cruisers. you, too, can do it for $800 or less. i will post details shortly.

Using what?

I have top of the line parts so far.

Dual 480c Viair compressors
5 gallon stainless steel tank
Universal Air bags all around
dot approved fittings
dot approved air hose
billet aluminum 9 switchbox

Working on some secret sauce parts to make it drop even lower.


Mine was much more than $800 haha.
