Put some 18's on it. Push 400+ whp. And drop panties in the big city.

Then you can worry about my ride height.

For those who care to know WHY this was done, 2 reasons:

1) So I can get in my driveway and navigate speedbumps.

2) So I can get a jack under the car.

Not to impress anyone with non-functional kit-scraping, frame-laying altitude.

What people don't realize is this isn't a traditional "bagged" suspension.

It's coilovers with rigid bags in PLACE of the coils.

So, yeah, I could drop the collars until it grinds the oil pan off, but I don't see a purpose for that. It was set up professionally, and the option of hitting a remote and raising it to 4x4 height is what I was looking for (driveway / speedbumps / jacking).

Do it like Broadfield. Use a heat gun to modify fender liner.

Personally.. I wouldn't even want it any lower than that. I don't even have coilovers and I'm already close to losing an expensive front bumper everytime I drive around town.

I'm a huge fan of this setup... boy would it be nice to have instant adjustability!

So how much weight does it add?

Do they have a ballpark on cost to the public yet?

Looks like a winner to me!

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

ksport list price - 3,900
D2 list price - 3,700 (off of raceonusa.com)
airbagit.com list price - 1,999

you can also make your own custom setup using Universal Air Suspension components which are bag over dampener design and coils that you already have. Last time I calculated the cost on that, using all new, very nice equipment it was about - 1600. but everything would be out in the open instead of in a neat little box.

haha.. you got me. I failed to read the rest of the post. What a newb!

A member from Finland posted those pics on his vert. You have to find that thread. I was trying to find it, but no luck.

this car 'vert looks amazing, stiil cant wait to see more pics!

The ride is going to be dependent on 3 things...1. the damper 2. the settings for the dampening and 3. the air pressure inside the bag.

The dampening is going to play more of a role when it comes to comfort. Overall stiffness is going to be the determined by air pressure, with the 240 at say 120psi it's going to be rock hard, down around 80psi is going to be toward the stiff end of the coilover spectrum (would compare to running say a 12K/10K spring rate, also not much lower than factory height), 40-50psi is on the soft side (and relatively low).

Correct

but cannot go lowwer with out softening? im mexican, you think i would know how damn airbags worked...

Hahaha nice....

You're correct, with air bags (any system) you lower the car to soften the ride. It's a double edged sword when you want the car to look nice as well as perform.

The Ksport set up still retains the adjustability of height through the lower mount. If your ideal ride is at 75psi (which would be stiff as well as high) you can bring the lower mount up on the shock body and lower the car so that 75psi is at a lower height with the same stiffness.

Weight? Not much more than the coilovers that came off it. The tank, lines, and such weagh a little more, but then again, the bags weigh less than coils.

So it may be pretty negligible.

Here's a few garage pics I snapped yesterday:

Looks like a damn '85 Monte Carlo.

I need a pachuco hat and some Dickies shorts.

Got a question.

Is there like a preset height button you can push that will always take you back to your cruising height?

I mean say if your going over a speed hump and have to lift the car up,and after you get over the hump,you go to let it back down,do you have to just look and gauge how low the car is?Or is there a preset height ,that way it would keep tire wear down to a minimum.

I'm still learning it, and will prob make more adjustements. I'm not happy with the camber in front or the balance side-to-side.

As far as a "memory" type switch goes...there are quite a few different controllers available online that have target pressure settings and saved settings so you can just push a button to get your desired settings. Something like this.. (http://www.accuairsuspension.com/product_elevel_tpad.html). Any air ride accessory can be integrated into the Ksport system.

When you ask about the rebound type adjustment on the bag...are you referring to what would be preload on a spring?
