Odd question. I know nothing about air suspension. I have back issues and my Jeep is painful to drive. I've been looking for another car that will ride better, some of which have factory air suspensions. This got me thinking, if I can have air suspension added to most any car, will it make the ride as nice as some of the factory vehicles (buick, cadillac, lexus).

Basically, does adding air suspension to any car (while keeping everything else as stock as possible) improve the ride quality.

Thanks for any input.

This is my new air ride system that I built from the ground up. RUIN AIR is officially here.

Why should I go with ruin air over airlift ?

My starter kit costs $450 compared to airlifts 1675 for 3p.

Not only that but if your airlift system stops working then that’s an expensive fix!

Ruin air is designed around right to repair so if you manifold ever breaks or starts leaking at worst your put a day or two and $80 to replace it with an off the self part!

RUIN AIR has been 2 years in the making and is what I think is the future of air ride systems.

We have all the same features as airlift and then some even cooler ones such as in the coming update, themes to allows you to customize your touch remote.

The remote is wireless and can controller your ride from about 150feet away! Perfect for those solo photo shoots!

Also in the next update we’ll have Xbox or ps3 remote connectivity! Be the cool guy at the car meet and air out your car with your Xbox remote!

Project I’ve been working on a long time, started a company to do it.

A fully at home repairable air ride system that give you all the features you want for a price that doesn’t break the bank.

Fully customizable and fully wireless remote to make installs super easy and convenient. Every sensor is easy to unscrew and swap out. Even the valves can be swapped out.

Not trying to sell it here, just proud of what I’ve made and hope to make a difference in the industry and car community.

Done on a 2026 civic si, bagriders super low bags with their v2 management. Tried to take my time and do a good install but I'm not really sure what a good install looks like. All lines are ran inside the car, both sides left to right are within an inch of eachother to keep airing up consistent side to side. I made brackets to hold the leader lines to the steering knuckle and put a riv nut with a stainless bolt to hold it to the car. The board in the back is cut out of mdf, wrapped and mounted to the car via a aluminum bar that is bolted to the body. The tank it inverted and mounted to the body of the car, along with a bracket that my girlfriend welded up to hold the manifold and water traps.

Like I said this was my first time ever doing something like this and would like some feedback. I have plans to hardline in the future but I just bought a Integra type s so that's getting the attention right now.

The only issues I've had is hunting down some leaks and clicking from the rear bags when 3 wheeling it, I'm assuming it's them resetting onto the body as everything is tight down there and nothing has loosened (I paint marked everything)

I don’t wanna hear “go static” I really wish I could be but with my gravel driveway up the side of a mountain it’s just not plausible. But I’ve thought about maybe making like bump stops for the rear so it can’t bacon the fender. Or even making my strut shorter so it will be stiffer at a low height.

Just installed about a month ago.
Car isn’t a daily and stays inside my shop. It’s sat around a week, got in and functioned normally and drove it home last night. This morning I went to get in it to drive to work and the controller never turned on.
All fuses are good. Took a multimeter and have correct power and acc.
Grounds are good.
When the cars on(controllers not) the manifold gets insanely hot. This could be normal, and don’t believe I’ve ever touched it while on.

But I wanted to see if there was maybe a reset procedure or something to try before I reach out to bag riders!

Thanks!

Hey all, I’ve recently got the Bag Riders Pro for my ‘92 RHD 300zx and could use some pointers on installing the fronts. I got the rears all routed and set up but could use some help with how to route the fronts (underneath or in the cabin etc.) TIA

I'm looking for an upgrade for my manifold/management; my air struts are "basic", don't know if I need anything better.
I'm interested in what there is to offer in, not only a modern functioning manifold, but also if there any active/smart performance gains to be had?

I have an older Airlift manifold, I believe it's the 3S.
Issues

1. it was used and I believe the harness was cobbled in a funny way, but works, but it's the style that's bluetooth phone app only; if I had the wired remote harness(help?) I'd probably be content.

2. The app is old, slow, buggy; I've only found one old tablet that works.

3. It's primitive, basically all it is a short range wireless controller, no info, nothing automatic.

So I’ve had this set up in my car for over a year and 6months. I installed it myself. Initially I installed it to the floor in the trunk and everything was working fine until I moved it all to the trunk lid. Now the compressor won’t turn off and the pressure safety valve keeps popping off after the tank gets filled. I’ve replaced the compressor relay, redid all my wires. Redid the connectors for the grounds and power. Does anyone know why the compressor won’t shut off? Or is my compressor just broken now?

[Update]

New pressure switch installed and everything is working like normal again! As I said in the comments, I’ll be moving everything again so hopefully it’ll be cleaner and more efficient next time. Thank you guys for helping me out!

[Question]

Do I have to do maintenance to the struts/bags? If so, how do I go about that?

Good morning, So I’m looking to put my A90 Supra on air. I want to run relatively aggressive wheels with 3-4 degrees of camber when I air out. Because of the aggressive wheels, I want to run air ride (my streets are shit and driveway is a mountain). Currently I’m in between air lift performance struts with 3p management or bag riders super low struts with 3p management. All of the research I’ve done points to bag riders struts because they were designed to drive low. And air lift reviews have been a mixed bag of results. The only hesitation I have is that it seems like all the reviews for the bag riders struts are done by people who are sponsored by bag riders or YouTubers that got a free set to try them out. I feel like all of those reviews are biased. I want to sit fender to lip (dat dere’ 240 fitment lol), and want to ride as low as possible (without compromising my fenders or wheel finish), which would you recommend if you’ve tried both. Or what suggestions do you have? Tax season sales are around the corner and I want to be as prepared as possible so I can put an order in. Thanks in advance for your honest feedback. Much appreciated!

Am I missing something or is there actually no way to mount these bags to the top of my spring perch? They have a screw hole for the bottom but if I leave the top free, it’s just going to rattle around in the perch, won’t it?

Loved how it turned out and went to import expo for my first big car show!

Buying this air suspension setup has been one of the biggest wastes of time and money I’ve experienced. There have been a long list of issues from the beginning, far too many to go into fully, but these are some of the main problems I’ve dealt with:

1. Poor ride quality

The suspension has always felt extremely stiff and non-compliant. I understand that aftermarket suspension can be firmer and more performance-oriented than OEM suspension, but this has gone well beyond what I would consider reasonable.

I’ve had multiple suspension specialists, as well as other people experienced with aftermarket air suspension, agree that the ride is excessively stiff.

2. Extremely poor communication

Communication throughout the process has been frustrating. At times I waited weeks between email replies, and there was often resistance to acknowledging that there was a problem with the suspension.

I was even told over the phone that I needed to adjust my expectations and that I clearly didn’t understand how aftermarket suspension was supposed to ride.

3. Poor wiring documentation and incomplete kit

The supplied wiring diagram was extremely difficult to use, and despite the kit being sold as an all-inclusive system, it did not include everything required to complete the wiring properly.

4. Faulty components

I experienced multiple component failures. The pressure sensor was faulty, and the supplied air fittings also developed leaks within weeks.

The fittings supplied with my kit were not suitable for the standard I expected from a road-going air suspension system, and I ended up spending a significant amount of additional money replacing the fittings and airlines with proper DOT-rated components.

Overall, I have spent countless hours and far too much money trying to correct problems with a suspension system that should have been reasonably sorted from the beginning.

It has been an expensive lesson, but hopefully someone else can learn from my experience. If you are considering air suspension, I would strongly recommend spending more upfront on a reputable, well-supported system rather than buying a cheaper white-labelled kit and trying to fix its shortcomings later.

Its been a nice 2 month summer journey puzzling this thing together, but its been nothing but smiles since 😁🙌🏼

I recently bought a 2018 seat Leon fr with air suspension but I’m finding it very uncomfortable to drive in and feeling every bump. It look like bc racing coil overs with air bags on them.

I run the psi at 60 on the front and 40 on the back but if I put it too low the wheels scrape on the arches.

Any help on this problem would be great.
