AirBag Suspension

[Sparrow]

I was wondering if anyone has tried this or has it on there car? My brother is putting it on his VW and i've been looking into for the Accord. I have found a kit for it buy ksport but i know you can buy different parts and make your own kit too. Let me know what ya think

u can probably piece together a kit for way cheaper than that for about $2-2,200

If you decide to do this I'd be willing to grab your tein set up off you

I'd love to do this but i have to look into it alot more. I might be able to keep the Tein's and just take the could off and replace them with bag's. It would be a lot cheeper but like i said i still have a lot more stuff to look into, but if i do take em off ill let u get them.

I haven't heard abotu ksports air bags, but I talked to a guy that had an air runner suspension a few years ago and he liked it a lot.

a few of the guys (mostly show cars) over on v6p are running bagged 7th gens.  when i think bags i generally think mini's, not tuners

Some guy over on our local forums did a custom air ride system:

I think he may have been on the old G7A way back then

Ok so this is what I'm thinking:

4x UVAIR Aero Sport
http://www.airassisted.com/AirBags-Univ ... _info.html
Designed for to slip over your Factory/Performance Struts. (Pressure tube must be less then 2.14 in Diameter)

4.0" Compressed
9.25" Extended
5.875" Diameter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1X 1/2 Auto Pilot Digital Air Management System

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Let me know what you guys think.

You'll probably be better off getting an Air Runner suspension instead.  They're more expensive, but they're also made for your car instead of some universal kit that will most likely have some issues with fittment.

I remember reading some where that these kits have the tendency to leak air alot of times.

Ok back to trying to get this air bag setup without spending an arm and a leg. I cant find any setup for the 7th gen's without spending around $4k but that's because people sell the "kit" with the bags compressor and everything else you "need" I know what kind of management i want to run so i don't need a kit. I have been looking for just the bags over strut setups for Honda's. The question i guess, how different is a 6th gen susp to the 7th? I found bags for the 6th and i have been looking stuff up online and in Alldata and they look very similar. I'm probably wrong but let me get your thoughts. Thanks!

I've heard of people using 6th gen (JIC) setups just by swapping top hats. I have not tired this myself but, i've read about it on V6P.

Have you tried contacting the manufacturers of these "kits" to find out if they sell just the suspension components?

Yes. KSport says they only sell the kit and i can't get any answer about the Air runner but i doubt I can just get the bags because they are from japan. I also have been in touch with AirLift and Airassisted. The best i get is to by the 6th gen stuff and mod them to fit the 7th gen's. I also have been posting on the vwvortex in the air forums and i really can't get anywhere. I looked up fitting 6th gen on 7th gen on v6p but i get mixed answers. So right now im kinda stuck unless i spend $4k+

I know nothing about the topic but figured I'd throw in my 2c for what it's worth. I've heard some good things about Airbagit from the mini community. It's worth a shot, considering for PnP it's only $1,800
