Airbagit or Airlift? Europe? Where?

Hi there.

Im looking for a pratical use to the day-day of life. NOT FOR RACING

Im looking to go up and down my car during the day.

For exemple, i have a garage and i cant put the car inside the garage bilding because it hits the ground.

Ok here is what i found.

The airbagit suspension, for 1790 usd
Or the airlift suspension for 1290 usd

They look really diferent but i cant post links yet because i still havent minimal number of posts Sorry


Other thing, any place in europe with this?

I will pay 300 usd for transport plus 200usd of taxes to get it from USA

Nay help is welcome.

Thx all

Im not a big fan of airbagit... personally if you are to go with a kit (recommended for practical use) i would go with air lift, if you want something to play with a lot or use for extremes, piece it together yourself. Kits don't do it for me, you get parts you want with parts you don't like as much piecing it together yourself costs a little bit more but you get exactly what you want. Sorry bro i don't know about getting the parts in europe

Thanks anyway. Your help was welcome.

Airlift kit seems worse than the airbagit. But its like i said.. just for pratical use.

So you would recommend airlift?

One more question.. this substitutes the suspension right? The socks and springs? I dont need them right?

I saw some strange kits that were only to suport the socks and springs.. so they where still necessary... hope this is not the case...

you could always go thorugh suicidedoors.com Although they specialize in truck kits, I have called myself and they quoted me about 1600 approx for a civic kit. You could also go with airride technologies. That's who I'm getting my kit from. The company that I am going through to get it says that it's one of the best kits on the market.

besides kits for trucks which work with the leaf springs in the rear, i have never seen an air setup that uses the springs as well. so to answer your ? yes, this will take the place of your current suspension components. theres a $500 difference between the airlift and the airbagit kits, so im going to assume the airlift is the kit you're looking for... you don't have links so i have to guess... probably a small compressor, 3 gal tank, 4 3/8" valves which is all you would need for a practical daily driver. the airbagit probably has a larger compressor, 5 gal tank, and either 8 3/8" or 8 1/2" valves. which you don't need unless you want to play. 4 valves = front up/down, rear up/down, all up/down. 8 valves = adds side/side and if ur using cylinders standing 3 wheel, as the other 4 valves add individual wheel control.

Yeh i just checked out the airbagit kit... you deff do not want chassis tech parts... its kinda like rockin APC... check out this kit http://www.suicidedoors.com/StarterKit38.php , you would have to purchase the bags/cylinders and mounting parts seperately but trust me suicidedoors.com is awesome... just call and ask for Jason he'll help you out with whatever ?'s u may have. awesome kit for $600. it actually comes with more than u need. which you could either use and have s/s action, or keep em for spares just in case, or ask Jason to take them out he'll drop the price accordingly
