I HAVE AIR BAGS ALL AROUND IT IS A LOT OF FUN DEFINITLY GET A LOT OF ATTENTION. ESPECIALLY AT SHOWS.

 

THERE IS A WRITE UP IN IMPORT RACER MAGAZING. FROM EAI BUT THEY STATE THAT YOU CAN ONLY USE BAGS IN THE REAR AND CYLINDERS IN THE FRONT NOT TRUE.

 

We have never said that you can only use cylinders in front and bags in the rear. However that is by far the best application. You can MAKE anything work for any application. It may not be the best choice but it can be done.

If you have bags all the way around on your scion then you have the bag struts upfront. With the bag struts it will not lay nearly as low as our X-Air system will. However you car will go up and down and fully operate.

 

ok i just got air on my scion xb. if you realy want it you can go to fbimini.com and they have a kit of the 2004 xb and xa for i think 1800$ good luck.

 

How low did the vehicle go? Are you running Cylinders, or Bag Struts upfront?

 

any way to make your kit lower, the only way i'm going to bag my car is if I can lay frame

 

you wheel need to tub out your wheel wells for your tires to come through. (a 18" lays flat inside the wheel well). Rear you will need to re-locate your gas tank filler and possibly channel up into your rear subframe for an few extra inches.

Either that or you can go with some small wheels on it too.

 

give me 2 months, i'm broke now, I don't know about your scion kit, but people tell me your kits are top notch. looking forward to laying frame :D

 

what type of warranty does eai offer? what if something breaks?

 

is it true bags dont hold up in the new england winter and you need tochange them once every two years ?

 

As far as weather goes with the extreme cold the only issues that you will have is if there is condensation inside your airlines/valves and the water freezes causing them to stick.

To resolve this i would recommend either 1. running water traps like you should anyways. 2. Run Nitrogen (completely dry gas, no water) 3. Place the valves inside the engine compartment where the motor will "de-frost" the valves and allow them to flow air.

 

hi guys. if anyone is interested, i am selling my airbag setup. i wrote up all the details here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=345402

i have actually sold this setup a couple different times, but people seem to change their minds at the last minute. but their loss can be your gain. it really is a good quality setup. also, if you have any air suspension related questions, let me know. thanks.

 

^^^^^^Oh my God, Eric is alive!^^^^^^

I was just in SoCal and Randode showed up at Sound Advice w/ Denny! Too bad you couldn't make it.

 

what do yall think about this kit???



and here are 2 emails I got from them

Complete front kit which includes: 2 air struts with 9-way dampening adjustment, a rear kit which includes: bags and brackets. You also get our best air management system we offer. This includes a 5 gallon D.O.T. approved tank, 8 3/8" 300 psi chrome valves, all D.O.T. nickel plated fittings, 1/2" D.O.T. airline, 2 dual 200 psi gauges with chrome bezels, a 200 psi 100% duty chrome compressor and all the electrical wire and terminals you will need. Everything also comes with a 1 year warranty against manufacture defects.

The compressor is a Viair compressor. The air bags are manufactured by us. This system is a fbss. You can mount the gauges anywhere you like. A lot of people buy a pillar pod and put them in that. The five gallon tank probably won't fit under the car but I offer a 2 gallon tank that will.

its by easy street air

www.easystreetair.com


let me know what yall think, if you check out the site you will see that you can get the front bags and the back bags, and then the tank and compressor and stuff and seperate. should I get part of this kit and then get my own tank and compressor or does this look kick ___?

 

I ordered the eai kit last week and got some of it in today, I will post pics when installed. Here are some before pics with tein ss coilovers which are for sale, $850.00. pm me if interested.
