Air Suspension Setups - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

For those currently running Air Suspension, can you provide me with pics of your setup? I'm looking for a good spot to install my air tank and manifold without having to sacrifice trunk space. I have the airlift digital version. Seems like the spare tire space isn't big enough to hold a 4gal tank and the manifold.

When I had my Airlift setup, I mounted a 1 gallon water pressure surge tank to a frame rail with a bracket and 2 hose clamps. See pics below. I mounted the pump to a wooden support, and the valve manifold to the floor of the spare tire well. Then covered it all up with the floor cover and all-weather liner. I could still use the trunk for carrying computer parts and even computers with monitors.

If you want the most optimal space the above is the way to go. That is a really small tank though.

I opted to raise the floor about 2 inches. It does take away trunk space obviously but you can still use the trunk and put the seats down. If you mount it anywhere above you will be limited to what you can put in the trunk.

What size and model is your tank?

yes sir. I had to modify the bracket a bit to get the airlift manifold to fit but all that it requires is drilling two new holes which is easy.

Depending on the exhaust choice if you go aftermarket you can actually mount a tank right in the stock location of where the stock muffler currently sits - thats another option with the tank mount. Only downside is if you wanted to swap an exhaust or back to stock you can't unless you move the tank.

Im wondering how big of a tank can fit underneath where the stock muffler was (have an Invidia N1)

DTA701 · 05-19-2015, 01:48 AM

You could probabaly fit a five gallon under there. Ill find the spec sheets on the accuair stuff.

DTA701 · 05-19-2015, 01:53 AM

I'm running a 5 gallon right behind the back seat with the exo mount kit and it doesnt take up a whole bunch of space.
