Hi guys. I'm about to convert my E30 touring to air suspension - among other things - and I'm posting this in this section as an ongoing project for the following reasons:
1. I want some top advice, and this section is where the bagging pros seem to hang out
2. I'll think of something later
I have had my E30 Touring for over a year, and the minute I got it I knew it needed air suspension. Problem is it's sooo expensive - twice the value of the car.
Anyway, last month this is what washed up in the 'bay:-
Hi i am selling a new air suspension kit straight from America.
The kit is about $2500.00 plus shipping and taxes. Total about £1400.00.
I'm selling as I'm no longer going to fit it in my car as I have baby on the way
It fits on audi A3 front wheel drive
Comes with large DC5000 1/2hp Compressor, Check Valve, Steel Leader Hose, Solenoid, Steel Fittings, 3/8" Airhose, 70on 120off Pressure Switch, 3 Gallon Steel Tank, the biggest and best of everything, including Plug & Play, which means you do not assemble because we have done it for you.
Airbag Suspension Kit 1996-2008 Audi A3 2wd F=STRUT, R=BAGKIT With 1/3hp small Compressor UPGRADED to large DC7500 1/2hp
So I figured Audi A3 has strut fronts and coil rears, and so does the Beemer so I should be able to make something useful out of this kit. I got it for 1/3 of the new price.
RESULT
My first question is why do people slate AIRBAGIT.COM? Are they bad quality, or good?
Have I got something really useful here, or a pile of pooh?
Before I go on, I must say that I'm 49 years old and have been doing silly things to cars and motorbikes all my life, so whatever I need to do to fit this onto my car will be well within my capabilities.
I plan to create a step by step DIY installation in this thread, with sound advice from experts. I'm gonna start from the very beginning here, so here's some pics of my car and the kit I bought
