Millsy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Just been speaking to Rayvern Hydraulics about air suspension (unrelated to my Supra btw) and he makes a very convincing argument for air ride. Has anyone on here got it on their Supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I know its going to get slated but I was thinking of doing this eventually. I like really low look and then the idea of being able to raise it to get up drives and over bumps - the other good point is that you can adjust the ride stiffness and quality. A lot of Luxury 4x4's have it now but not sure about sports cars. There is a nice car opposite my work that has air bags/hydraulics and it is dropped to the floor at the moment and has the wheels tucked right into the arches - shame its a punto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millsy Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 I don't know why it would get slated! There are a lot of cheap systems out there, but you can obviously keep the car at a normalish height for the majority of the time in total safety - and as you say you can control the bump and rebound and can even add isolator valves to stop air dispersal if you're planning on track use/ hard cornering. The system takes up very little room and runs off the normal battery. I can't actually find fault in it apart from the cost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco79 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Ive often wondered about going down this route myself just the price puts me off, plus i dont know who is a reputable manufacturer and how much it would affect the handling?

Millsy Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Would cost about 2k fitted - have a look at Rayvern Hydraulics website - they're pretty much the most respected name in the UK. VW guys are really into it at the moment and have spoken to a few guys with decent power (300bhp+) Golfs who still enjoy driving hard with the air suspension.
