Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

nice set-up there iceboxx, will def let you know. thanks for those pics EZ cause that helps clear up a lot about that system.

Every site that sells the accuair assembly just shows the block, next to the link for the accuair controller that is an extra $400-500 making the control system next to 1G...a little out of my price range.

I might go with the one in my original post so we have some feedback on those systems.

Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

About this fast


no for real its not hella fast like 1/2 lines but fast enough for me dont want to spill my coffee. Airing out is a lil slow but it don’t bother me any.

all in all its great love it still.

ok, so i have long drooled over the aiir ride xb'x out there and would love to have a setup! but it would be my 1st time installing any type of system of this magnitude. i am mildly maechanical, and if i have instructions i can almost do any ting. but my kryptonyte is electrical stuff. how much elecrical wiring is involved in the system that you quoted?

i am doing my homework as we speak, but it helps to get the opinion from some1 who has done this b4!

Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

if you don't want to worry about the electrical side of it you could always do manual valves, they are a bit slower but you got no wires to worry about at all.

Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

I still have the old 1/4" line manual controller from my '93 Toyota I built about 11 years ago. It was slow, but that is THE old school setup. Thinking of bagging my b this coming spring and I am considering using the manual controls for old times sake.

Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

I have the jdm Air bomber / Air Runner setup
here's what my kit basically looks like



it has the manual switches. It's slow but hey it works so i'm happy with it.


here's a crappy video we did back in may or june right after me and gothbox got finished installing everything. its a dark video but you can get the general idea of how the air bomber / Air runner kit works

Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

so is there any certain brand for setups that most people reccomened? whats the average price usally run? i got in touch with cool cars up in louisville ky and it was going to be like 1865 for •1- ViAir 280 Compressor
•1- 5 Gallon Multiport Long Tank
•8- 1 way 3/8" Fast Valves
•1- 150psi. Pressure Switch
•1- 10 Switch Prewired Box
•1- Single Needle Pressure Gauge
•All Fittings
•60ft. Air Line
•Front & Rear Struts

but id like to have like 2 450 compressers,waters traps, maybe a 10gallon tank but i could deal with a 5gallon for a while,and i want some gauges with 2 needles inside and 1/2 up 3/8s down what do u think? im just now learning about this
