Air ride suspention

[Cass]

I like my low top secret front end but the speed bumps don't and most uneven roads,so i was looking at raising and lowering my soop at will.
Any one know any good places to look has anyone done it yet and will i still have to re-tune for my handling.:hand:

If you fit that to your car you can forget handling.

Think about it logically how can your alignment be the same with ride height set at say 1" and then at 3" ? Are you going to get out and adjust it every time you change ride height, pretty impractical. I also doubt air suspension has anywhere near similar rebound properties to a standard or aftermarket shock.

Toyota designed the MKIV as a pretty thorough bred sports\GT car and the more you read up about it the more you understand what lengths they went to, to get things right.

What suspension does your car have on it now, maybe its just too low.

There's a company called rayvern hydraulics that specialise in hydraulic and air ride suspensions. Kits cost approx ?1000 IIRC.

But like Martin has said, fitting air ride to a mkiv would have dire effects on the handling. Go for coilovers, so if you know you will be doing alot of town driving one week, you can raise the suspension.

If you want air ride, I suggest you sell your supra and buy something big and american.

ive got full Blistein suspention on the now and ive got an inch and a quarter ground clearence on the front end which usualy scoops up road kill not a problem messy and inpractical what is good ajustable front suspention ?

Shame you want to get rid of the suspension you have now, as i've had bilstien kits in the past and they've always been excellent.

Loads of companies do coilover kits. I chose Tein Superstreets as they came highly recommended by Paul Whiffin (Whifbitz) If you want a set, I'd give him a shout as I got them for a really good price at the time and they came in a couple of days.

See how much front ends will be i might be very interested please

[J-S14A]

I'd buy a full set to keep the handling sweet. They were approx. ?700 for the set IIRC. Whifbitz and plenty of the other traders have thier own sections of the forum, if you look down at the traders section in the forum menu. Just post a subject on the forum or send them a PM with your requirements.

Think you'll love doing that all the time, wheels off raise the platforms up wheels back on, next week wheels off lower the platforms wheels back on :twisted:
Ok if youve got 2 guys with quicklifts at front and back and 2 guys on each corner with airguns and c spanners, no need for a fueling guy though unless you want to be really silly :twisted:
Sorry couldnt resist :D :D

What, haven't you seen Cars (the movie). It only takes two ticks if you're dedicated enough!

It's not too bad, but I guess it would become a chore if you were doing it all the time. At least the car won't handle like a sofa though! :twisted:
