E30 airride

[SindreR]

this is my first post, so don't kill me if this is posted in the wrong section, but i have some questions about air ride suspension.

1. i live in Norway, so its important that the system can stand the cold weather. last winter it was -20C. is this going to be a problem?

2. does it effect the cars handling much?

3. where do i get the best and cheaper sets for my e30? i want to buy a package

all help is appreciated! :)

Hey man, you're in the right section. Not too many manufactures make air setups for e30's so you might want to get crafty. AirBagIt has a bad reputation and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. BagYards are the cream of the crop but they are one of the more expensive options out there and for them to produce e30 struts, we would actually have to send them some e30 spindles (which we have a bunch of here at out shop). They are a smaller operation so it can take months for your order to be fulfilled. If you're looking for a less expensive alternative and are handy with a welder, I would recommend doing your own custom setup using Air Lift Universal front struts and either Air House II or RE-5 universal rear bags.

As for the weather, bags do fine in colder climates. When winter hits here, we just put some air brake antifreeze in our tanks so our lines/ valves don't freeze. A lot of people will back me up and say that an 8 valve air ride setup rides just as well if not sometimes better than coils (depend on which coils you're comparing)
