Air Suspension Questions

Here at Universal Air Suspension we manufacture an air bags that slide over existing factory or aftermarket struts/coilovers to retain the cars handling.

I would like to open this thread up to any question/concerns anyone has about Air Suspension.

Thank you.

You can also view the Z at http://www.universalairsuspension.co...p?sid=9&cid=11

On our website on the front page there is a little video that we did with history channel on the Chrysler 300 that will explain everything on how the air system works.

The only main difference between the 300 and the G/Z is that the front you do not have to cut anything on the strut. The lower spring plate pops off (stock strut) and the new plate will go inplace of it.

So it uses the existing springs and struts but just raises the car when needed?

I am assuming that when you drop the car via a switch, it will lower to the whatever you have your spring height set at?

And how difficult is the install?

Does with work with ANY aftermarket spring/strut setup?

How does this affect alignment and what's the warranty on the bags? Have you ever had a bag collapse?

From the video it doesn't use the springs at all which I thought too when they said coilovers at first. All it reuses is the struts and shocks. The bags replace the spring.

The air system Replaces the springs on the car. The bags will be the primary suspension on the vehicle.

Bolt in application.

You can adjust it anywhere between the lifted and lowered pictures.

It will work on any strut that is 2.14 or smaller on the OD of the shock body.

When ever you lift or lower a car it will change the alignment. What you do is set your ride height that you like then have the vehicle aligned at that height. That way you go back to that height it will be the correct alignment.

We give a 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty on our bags. We have road tested at over 100k miles and cycle tested at over a million cycles.

The main reason why a bag would blow out would be from installation issues. (not on G's, on other cars) May issue is when someone throws a bag in without setting up the brackets correct. Thats why we have designed the brackets already. Its litterly as easy as pulling off the spring and putting the bag inplace of it.

The 2nd reason is from over pressure. With our kit it will not even be close to the "burst pressure" of the bags. You would have to run very high pressure with compressed gas (i.e. Nitrogen) inorder to damage from pressure (Trying to hop the car)

How is the ride quality from the bags versus a normal or sport spring/coilover setup?
