Hey all,
I've been thinking for a while now about bagging my car yet I'm a total and complete noob when it comes to air ride. I already got some info from here and from the companies that are associated with air ride but I still have a lot of questions.
I'm currently on KW V1 coilovers and my objective would be to keep the shocks and change the springs to bags. In the front I would need something like sleeve bags or something like that.
1) What are the alternatives for this? I know that UAS has some but are there any others available?
Regarding the rear bags, the spring seats are similar to the ones from a Golf MKV.
2) What kind of springs should I look for? I saw that AirLiftCompany has some that probably fit but I'm wondering if there are more that would do the trick.
Now comes the part where I have absolutely no idea what to look for. Compressors, tanks, management systems, etc.
I would like to have a setup that would have a good performance besides delivering a serious drop.
3) So what should I look for? I read something about 4 valve and 8 valve systems if I'm not mistaken but I'm not sure of the differences in performance between them.
4) Regarding compressor and tanks what am I aiming for? How big of a tank and what power of compressor would be appropriate for my car?
Last but not least the management system.
5) What are your suggestions for a good but not over expensive solution?
6) Also I'm from Portugal/Europe. Does anyone know of air-ride shops in Europe?
Thanks all and sorry for all the questions!
