Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

yeah i know i already thought of that. it seems pretty impossible. i think electric compressors would be better for the xb anyway, it was just cheap and i was just curious.

Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

Hey I'm lookin into getting some air ride for my box. I was lookin at the one on fastscions for $408. Is that a good one or is that to cheap? Oh and I was wondering if I needed lowering springs if I got the air ride?

Air Runners. I have them and they feel great when I drive, but I think they are a little to pricey. I love them though. Japanese born.

Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

Alright guys I have a few questions. But first, a friend of mine had the kit from easystreet and he says that its the same kit thats on scionpro. I was wondering if this is true, cause he said that he got 5 years out of his with no problems till some a-hole totaled his xb.

Also I was wanting to know if I can lay the xb completely flat on the ground with this kit. Also will I have to do some kind of cutting in the inner wheel wells to be able to lay all the way to the ground.

Last couple of questions. Should I get 2 compressors if I plan to use this frequently, and will there be any cutting under the xb to fit the frame for the kit. And last of all I promise! Can I still have a system in the back with all this added.

Thanks guys, I'm sure this is enuff to drive everyone crazy.

Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

lay on the ground, no, that takes some mods to the struts or the xB

2 compressors are better then one, a back up incase and air quicker.

the only cutting will be for the rear back brackets, unless you get ez-baked ones.

Alright, so ez-baked is just as good as easystreet I'm gathering, or whats the scoop on the 2.

Alright so which would be better to lay on the ground. Well cheaper, but done right. Mods to the struts or the xb?

Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

ez-baked makes rear bags that fit as if rear spring would sit, they do go lower to i believe, and randode makes a set of front strutbags that lets the xb sit lower then ES, however, you lose your P/S and need to notch your frame. if you want a simple install and not alot of work, go with a ES kit, but if yo want lower, look into ez-baked and randode products.

Re: Air Suspension Costs How Much?!

Alright so if I want my box to lay completely flat on the ground I'm going to have to go with ez-baked and randode.

Can you mix the 2 together for this. Cause this is all new to me. So I'm trying to get an idea of how all this works.

I'm looking at ez-baked right now and I like their gear. I like the fresh look of it all. I'll look up randode to. Cool cool.
