would air shocks fit on a 1991 q45

[Infinitiguy19]

Would they fit on my q?

would they do frame damage or any other kind of damage to it?

how much would they cost?

and where is the best to buy?

Your Q has 4 struts not shocks!

Use HICAS

Use HICAS

what do you mean I see no correlation between the both?

Am I missing something here?

Those look simple enough, especially when you get the prewired kit. A little pricey at 2k though. Where would you put that compressor and everything? Is there enough room under the car? Would it go in the trunk? I've seen Q's on air, but it reminds me of hydraulics. Plus it looks like it would be a pain to maintain. How bad of a bump can those things take before they pop? Can they withstand winters? If I have to completely dismantle my suspension setup every year, is it really worth it?

[MR. Q]

I'm no suspension specialist gotta do your research through these posts chief.

Use HICAS

What if he doesn't have HICAS? Was that an option for a '91 G50?

From his innumerable posts we can see that there is a plethora of more important repairs and issues. An airbag modification is the least of your worries.

lol it goes in the trunk first of all. Don't see how it reminds you of hydraulics when it basically does the same thing as active suspension Q's or just like newer lux cars with air suspension. They are an extremely smooth ride and are definitely not cheap for a good reason! Do some research on how it works and what kind of bags it rides on. (I am not necessarily talking about Airbagit.com but about air setups that I have ridden in in the past.)

When I said hydraulics, I was talking about a VIP FY33 that I saw on bags. The owner kept inflating and deflating the bags in a similar fashion found in the lowrider circles. It's on youtube.

Please do not purchase from airbagit.com. Aka AIM Industries, Chassistech, Air Ride Pro, Street Ride Pro, etc. Their products are very poor quality, and are the kind of air susp stuff that people get, have fail on them, and then are turned away from air suspension forever. But do not take my word for it, hit up various truck forums (which is the market AIM started dealing with first) and/or search or google for AIM Industries and Joe Morrow... the fact that the Q45 in that Tuner Projects magazine used their parts as part of a budget build should already stand as a warning for people to be wary. Speaking of which, anyone else found it hilarious that the whole purpose of the buildup was to be a cheapass, yet the owner (Ricky Chu... who has quite a poor record of honesty in the 240 community also) has pics of himself acting like a "hard *** baller." That's like buying a Yugo, putting Ferrari emblems on it (and not even real Ferrari emblems, but cheap plastic ones you get from the flea market), and showing up at Ferrari meets with your Ferrari jacket, cap, and scarf on and thinking you're something special. I hope people don't fall into that trap...

Whoops, too late, considering most people getting into Qs now and over the next year are displaced cheap drifters, that article was their new bible.... so sad
