diy air ride
I live in Southend On Sea in the UK the roads are crap and there are speed humps everywhere including down my road shortly and I'm fed up with having to plan my route around town based on speed humps I can't get over
but I'm partial to a project and some would also say tight. actually I'm not tight I just do a really crap job for a living (literally) so demand value for money when I part with it This is not going to be a shiny setup for show hopefully it will all be hidden and OEM looking and much of it will be, just not Nissan mostly Audi with range rover height sensors, aftermarket Bags and a custom built controller cost wise it should be coming in at £600-£700 The compressor with built in exhaust valve is audi https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....1b81f29a5f.jpg as is the valve block https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....188ba249c3.jpg aftermarket front and rear air bags https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....9b5a4b47cd.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....2822358359.jpg the rear air bag spacers are made from 2 old fire extinguishers and some 1/4" ally plate https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....2b998fcf58.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....cec995d733.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....3592ac3bc7.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....e6ea398477.jpg this is the compressor and tank as they will be fitted in the trunk https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....383824dabb.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....652092173c.jpg should look pretty discrete this is pretty much as far as I've got so far hope to have it all done over this weekend :) |

Wow. You have some nice skills. Looks great. How does it ride and corner ?
Can you share pictures or video's of ride height(s) ? |
Just read through your DIY ITB thread on the UK z site. Love the work you're doing, awesome attention to detail and craftsmanship. Can't wait to see more!
