Exclamation Au Air Bag Suspension!!!!

Hi everybody.

Iv been thinking of getting Air Bag Suspension on my AU, and have tried to find places, but cant seem to find any. Was wondering if anyone knows of any good places around Melb that do this mod.

Car scrapes when going over speed bumps and driveways, wana eliminate that problem, but still have a mean ride height when driving. And dump it when parked.

So if anyone can help me out, would be great.

Thanx.

I enquired into this at the summernats, they had a stand there. I was told that with the AU it requires custom suspension components to be made because the bags wont fit into the original equipment without interference. He indicated that you would want to be rich or very committed to attempt it.

yes cali customz would do it or know how to do it

but i have also enquired bout this to him

the problem is
the airbags hit the suspension components(upper wishbone etc)

hydraulics would work
but then ull have a boot full of batterys and pump = no performance gain what so ever.

good luck guys!

I did inquire about an airbag setup earlier in the year and as blackers10 has mentioned they don't have a kit to suit Au, after some more thought on the process and the added weight to the car i doubt i would have gone through with.

you may run into the same problem as with E-Series, none of the places can do the front, Rear is ok (don't know about IRS) but front doesn't have the space to install it without relocating stuff.
