Air Suspension Anyone done this?

http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/Air-Suspension-Inc/Air-Suspension-Kits/Super-Deluxe-Air-Suspension-Kit/582029/

I'm thinking of how useful this might be on rough roads or road vs track...

What does everyone think?


I have ruined one engine because of a clearance issue, and have ordered longer shock extensions, and gone to bigger wheels, but my oil pan is still quite low.

think youd struggle to fit that to any small 7 or similar vehicle, i also bet the total package would weigh a bit.
Only any good really if you add underslung neons and wire it so you can make the front hop!

I don't think it was quite Air suspension, Davie - it was remotely adjustable hydraulic, though.

Daviep is right, Nitram38 bought and did fit air suspension, but then changed to hydraulic lifters later on.

Here's where he sold the kit http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=137429 don't know whether beaver34 did buy it.
