The OFFICIAL Air Suspension Thread

[xiaphin]

with all the months of hard work i was able to take home hottest hyundai from hot import nights , i wanted to give a big thanks to matt (xiaphin) for all the help and brainstorming we were able to do while we both were building our cars at the same time again without your help it would have been alot harder it was pretty awesome to be almost building ouyr cars together even though we are in different areas you are the man sir !

Thanks for the shout out man, I appreciate it. Really like how the tables turned out, you didn't tell me you were making one for the rear as well!! Nice JP curtains too. Surprised you didn't post the pic of the wheel in the sun after powder coat, it really shows off the color. Awesome that you took home bet Hyundai at the show. Gives me inspiration to get my wheels finalized and do a few more small things before heading to some shows out here on the East coast. Congrats man.

both on my list for my next project since my genesis is gone.
still cannot decide which one to go.

You know my vote would be for the 2015. I see your boy upgraded, but kept the wheels. Looks good.

Good to hear. What kit and management did you decide to go with?

 

[ghicks99]

I went with accuair E-level and bagriders is doing free I-level with it. Dual 444c compressors. Didn't do exo brackets because im still hoping for a way to mount the tank to the trunk lid, gonna have to do some researching on that one. UAS front bags, slam specialties ss6 in the rear with dcups. Now Im just waiting on forjworks for my front brackets.

 

[xiaphin]

What coil did you go with? I'm assuming it is Megan since Forjworks already makes brackets for other vehicles doing bag over Megan Coils. Interested to see how your plumbing will work with tank mounted to the trunk lid. Probably be more of a pain than it is worth.


Side note... When picking up my car from the dealer for routine maintenance today, a salesman and a runner were blown away by the air ride on my car. There was a "I've never seen anything like that in my life" about the plumbing setup and "I have to say that is pretty damn cool" when i dropped it with the I-Level. Both comments made me feel pretty good.

Excited to see some guys running air. I just picked up a 2013 genesis and planning on bagging it once I sell my air setup from my Z4. I'm looking at air force bags but I've read on here that the 2013's have different suspension than previous years. Can anyone confirm that their bags will fit? If I'm buying an actual kit I'd prefer bolt on.

How low can it go...

Took some pictures of my car as low as it can possibly go when draining my water traps and adding brake line antifreeze to my tank the other night. Ignore the crooked tape measure on the front wheel.

Yeah. I already had the megans and got the forjworks brackets. Yeah, ive looked online and seen some good looking setups on the trunk lid. If I can find an easy way to mount it without too much work than I will go with it. We shall see. Ill prob just plumb it all with hose for now and look into doing copper later or a mix of both.

With about 15 grand you can make it happen. You thinking about going on air too?

James's car has been an inspiration of mine for a while now.

I paid a visit to AccuAir yesterday and got everything planned out. I'll post as things come in in the coming weeks.

15 grand I dont have. my project is going to be very very very slow.... my wife says no to a lot of things I want to do. the car is brand new under warrenty. I had the genny for almost a year now. I would like to buy a kit to bolt on, I live in TN. not too many tuner shops in my area. I think there is none... I would have to drive to Atlanta, GA to get some work done. there is a speed shop that I trust in the atl. I got a friend that has his evo tuned there. I see you guys are doing the bags over coils. my cousin says its a bad idea to do that but im not sure... he has TL on bags, i think he went with air force or some other kind of korean manufactured air bag system. k sport or something thats korean. but anyways, im new to the scene and this is my first BRAND NEW car I have ever bought and I dont want to F it up. im not one of those guys that gets cheaper cars and do experiments with it and get that experience and know how. im that guy that will pay someone to do. especially when it comes to cars. only thing i know how to do on the genny is change oil and air filters. lol... i have always admired how people have that skill set to make a car look that sexy. like james genny. very very appealing to me. my wife dont care for it so she dont want me to spend money on it.

The two of us who have already installed our air suspension are running Air Force Suspension a bolt on kit, not bag over coil. Looks like Craft805 will be running the same kit, only it is being sold through Accuair named TWR. Kits look identical, one has teal instead of orange accents.

Keep us posted on your progress Craft. Same goes for you too Ghicks.

 

[thompithak3182]

my bad. I was skimming through so many threads. im not sure who is running bags over coils but it was somewhere in the forum in one of these threads im searching around. but what is the cost right now after its all said and done with the air setup? I been setting money aside slowly.

Will do. I'll be running Air Force bags\struts but they all come from the same factory in Taiwan. There are only two production facilities out there. The one that produces AirREX and the one that produces the rest (K Sport, D2, TWR). I really wish AirREX produced a kit for us because their build quality is night and day IMO. On par with Air Lift and Bagyard from my personal experience.

As for the management I'll be doing E Level with dual 400's and a 5 gallon tank.

 

[thompithak3182]

ok, i didnt know accuair has already put up a kit for the sedan. i have not looked at their site in awhile. well, thanks for the input guys and im still saving money. i bet you guys will be done with your cars before i even get one purchased. good luck with your projects.
