lol its all good man. I never heard of stretching the bag out, but I do the same procedure just because it hasn't failed yet on getting to my predetermined height when going from a PSI over my ride height - ride height. Wish more people were open to this like you are, but its finally cool to see someone who hasn't experienced a ride in an air equipped car give feedback, rather than someone just going off hearsay. :clap: |
Thanks for informing more about what kind of options are out there. I'm an engineer by trade, so I'd be a bad one if I wasn't open to learn more about technologies. I think with a proper setup and more development there's a huge performance potential. But, to get a really good, balanced system, I think the complexity goes up exponentially. Off the top of my head, you can already get rid of cold day problems by using blanket warmer. If you use the ideal gas laws, PV=nRT, you can use the blanket to warm the air to a constant temperature. But, that's more weight, more complexity, and a big current draw, etc. Also, your auto level system should monitor the ride height at much shorter intervals, but you need a good algorithm and control system to make sure it's not trying to change height every half second. I think a good control unit could improve performance a lot too.
There's definitely merit to air, if anyone else thinks otherwise, they should just crawl back into their caves and rub sticks together. Just because show cars use it, doesn't mean it can't have performance potential. On the flip side, look at the people who put performance parts on show cars and hard park (looks to people with full Voltex aero and TE37s... makes awkward eye contact... looks away) |
Love this conversation. I am also going to a air ride system. I am going to use airlift struts and the Ridetech airpod system. This will be my first air ride system so i will have lots of trial and error finding the right psi for ride height. I know every system is different but can some of you chime in with what psi you are riding at?

AIRREX system does not keep adjusting for ride height. It is pressure based but not like the height based system that accuair system has. Accuair system will always try to keep the car at the preset height. SO as you load the car it will adjust. The airrex system is just a pain simple pressure based set up with auto leveling.. so all it does is get you to your preset pressure that determines how high the car is.
AS for performance on the AIR system there is a certain way to set these set ups correctly for the track. Most coil over systems on the market are just basic dampers for everyday use. AIRREX we dont usally offer promote this option as we do have a race set up thats is made for racing. But our basic setup that everyone has performs well on the track. AIRREX and AIRLIFT prices for the struts are almost he same price. the only reason an airlift kit comeout cheaper is becuase they have a cheaper management system that is not as easy to install as the AIRREX AMS and it is not wireless controlled like the AIRREX Controller is. AIRREX systems have been proven winner on the race track.. |

airlifts system is extremely easy to set up.
Power, ground, 12v. Connect power and ground for the compressor. Run air lines.. done. I know the airrex system is an "all in one" so i'm guessing its the same exact thing minus the two wires for the power and ground. The elevel is more complex to set up. |
Just wanted to bump this for an update.
I had previously said that my airlift system wasn't very accurate at times when going from fully aired out (0psi in each corner) to my driving height. I enabled "ride height on start", and it seems that it is pretty much dead on now. I also talked to Jeremy @Airlift and he told me that if you are seeing inconsistencies/inaccuracy with it hitting target pressure, you can adjust this within the settings. I didn't even realize this. It comes set at level "5" out of the box. You can adjust it 1-10. 1 being less sensitive, 10 being more sensitive I believe. I was going to recalibrate it but it seems that I don't need to. Just wanted to share that in case anyone reads this thread, I don't want to turn them off from the Autopilot v2. |

Accuair: D2 front & Rear Air Suspension kit any review about the build quality of their air struts for the frs/brz?
NOT* E-level. |

is this the same d2 as the recolored ksports d2?
cause if so quality doesn't belong in the same sentence |
