Air Suspension Questions
#46
i have a couple questions.
i do not plan on buying these for the record. these questions are simply just to help other possible buyers.
i have also built several mini trucks setup with air ride suspension.
-what is the port size on the bag?
-you say the bag is not going to pop from just running air and that you would have to put an extreme amount of pressure to them. but what is the max psi?
-what ply are the bags?
i noticed that people are asking how these will make the car handle once installed.
the answer is. your car can handle great or like ****. it all depends on the way the installer sets it up. the closer you put the valve to the bag itself the better. the ride will be much better and more like stock. if the valves are further away from the bags the air has to much room to flucuate back and forth between the bag and valve inside the airline. sway bar is a must if you plan on having any control of a bagged car/truck. unless you plan on hitting sides (front side up right side down, vise versa) also. (not trying to hate on the op but) i dont care what the creator of the bag says. you will know that you are on bags and not stock suspension. also the more psi you have in the bag the stiffer the ride. the less psi you have in the bag the softer the ride.
if anyone has any questions about air ride and for some reason doesnt want to ask on here you can send me a pm. i also have some air ride parts that i need to get rid of that will work on a g35.
hope that helps you guys out some

depends. if you live somewhere that it gets to below freezing. then you can have problems. the valves will freeze shut. and then you have to take a hairdryer to them to thaw them out. OR you can but antisieze stuff that is specifcally for air tanks. you can get it at rest stops for big rigs. they put it in there air tanks since their brakes run off an air tank. other than that there is nothing that can really go wrong with cold wheather. the compressor shouldnt be anywhere that it can get water in the intake. but on a g or z i would put the compressor and tanks inside the trunk since thats really the only spot there is room for it

In NJ call up kens hydro's - 908-413-3090
Personally i wouldn't suggest doing that, but the customer's opinion was if he was rear ended hard enough to damage the tank, that would be the least of his worries.
We did have one on here, but i am guessing its gone. Forum discount on our system thats listed on our website at 2300 is 2150 shipped inside the cont. us.

on the question of can you track a bagged car.
it really depends. ive been turned away from every track in nor cal. those were all drag strips though. as for actual tracks. i do not know. you would have to check with the nhra rules for your state i guess
i HIGHLY suggest getting the adjustable dampiner that zack is talking about. its a great product and will really help with the way your car drives/handles
if anyone is wondering. an aluminum tank is also a way better idea than a steel tank

if you watch the 3rd video he posted it shows that the bottom plate has to be notched to run the airline to the fitting on the bag.
the only drilling needed is drilling in the truck to run the airline from the tank to the bags. so you figure you have 4 quarter inch lines (i for each bag) so drill 1 hole about the size of a quarter and put a grommet in and stick the airline through
