The hydros add weight regardless so i think the standard for racing at least will remain the spanner wrench steez, but god damn me if that isn't awesome

And then you could disassemble and design your own kit based on it...

Welp, if you need a Subaru to test it on, you can use mine. I think even if they don't work, they'll be a world better than 150k old stock struts.

Gotta love how tein names shit

What in the fuck? LOL

And although the end result is cooler with that system, The air cups is a much less involved install from what i'm seeing in that pic. You don't even need electricity in an air cup system.

Fucking awesome though, that would come in so fucking handy to raise and lower the car on command.

I wonder how adjusting back exactly where it was will be, yknow for alignments and shit

the tein one has a pretty gnarly electronic controller so im sure its got pressure sensors and shit

Yeah the Tein system is a bit more complicated coz they have the controller look exactly like their EDFC unit and even give you a remote so you can lower/raise it from outside the car and see exactly what height you want.
And they give you 3 memory buttons, so you can save the ride height into memory and switch between them with just 1 press of a button.

For sure, i can imagine it being a real piece of kit. It looks really complete.

If tein can sell it at 4k, that means my version would need a second mortgage

fuck that's so cool.

I can only see me selling that to newer car customers, like newer the newer BMW's cause the people who buy them tend to be more well off.

I just don't have the market for it. I wish though, shit sounds awesome and i'm sure in the near future we'll see it done cheaper and by someone who makes a damper worth a damn. Think of it this way, its a coilover AND a hydro system on top. Lots of materials to consider but fuck me that's awesome

How much do people usually spend on AirRide setups?

Probably a knob on the inside of some sort?

[Jesus Christ]

Back in the days when i was doing air, it was def over 3k. Now a days i think people are getting it done for under 2k.

[martinm13]

If you did it like as cheap as possible with bag overs and a manual paddle valve setup you could do it for under 1000. If you get proper struts and a system like e-level you can get up to like 4 grand +

[Jesus Christ]

Hahahaha

what i meant by that was even if youre off an amount that the eye can't detect, your alignment will be off. That's only relevant on the track though

Yeah I am surprised Tein only made then for the Wagons

I would have seen a bigger market in VIP and newer cars too

Hydraulics is not really my field, so i don't know what parts and stuff cost, thats kinda why i was considering buying one of those used kits to see what it would cost to replicate the design.
And if it cost too much, I could just do some cut and shut to run them in my car
