Dude... I'm saying this from a truck perspective because airbags were pretty big out here at one point in time (mostly trucks). I believe you have to pretty much destroy the stock suspension to do that chit. Personally I wouldn't do it... even if I were doing show. At least not in something like a Z.

Dont listen to them. If installed properly it should be fine. I had air ride on my 300c that I drove daily and never had a problem with it. I have been wanting to do it on my 350zr but I havent because I may be trading it. Anyhow check out universalairsuspension.com they make a kit just for the 350z, which is also the kit I had on my 300c.

It would be sweet for the car to "lay down" when you turn it off, and when you start it back up it rises back up.


I wanna know if you go through with this. I want vids!

I remember a company called Universal Air advertised on here about their air suspension for the 350Z a while back, might want to google that.

Yes as I stated above universalairsuspension.com has a kit just for the 350z, which in my opinion is much better than the air runner kit. Check out there website they have several pics of there kits on 350s.
