I have a 2005 x type and I want to put the same set up. Can u send me the parts list u ordered. And do I have to use parts from my old suspension to install the bags. Also if u have can u send some of the install pics.
Thanks.

 

I don't really have additional pics, the key is the rear, you just need to use the upper brackets and not the lower ones. You'll need to trim the upper spring cups to avoid the metal cutting into the bags. Rear sway bar (if you want to keep it) needs to be mounted upside down - that limits you max height to about an inch above factory. Fronts are drop in, but make sure struts are tight.

As for parts list, just call the guys at airbagit.com. I bought the Smartride system to have digital control, but those parts have improved since my purchase 2+ years ago. I also upgraded the air engine to better valves. It is a little of a DIY project, but not too difficult if you have a mechanical and/or car stereo installation background.

 

Tht sounds good I have about 7 years experience in custom car audio and plenty more working on cars. So you didn't have to weld or buy lowering shocks.

 

Cool. We are like brothers then I used to build IASCA competition cars back in the late 1990s. One more thing about the rear.... You need to cut off the bump stop metal mounts in the rear. They are on the top side of the springs - get them as close to the upper perch as you can. You can then just drill into the lower perches and bolt the bag directly to that. The upper one is where I routed the airline and I only drilled for the line and the mount up there. The upper mounting bracket will give you enough clearance to clear the bump stop metal and you'll want to pull out the "ears" a little of the perch (round them out to where the metal is a 45 degree angle with pliers), as they will otherwise eventually slice into the airbag upper bellow.

Good luck

 

I been reading on the Internet and a lot of ppl put bad reviews on airbagit and I'm wondering how your kits is working for you and if u have had to replace anything. Or has it just been maintenance.

 

Nothing has gone wrong except the LCD screen on my first Autoloc controller lost 2 digits. Airbagit warranteed that part though.
