- We finally bagged the BRZ! Todays video was a little different, rather then a quick install I wanted to give you guys The Ultimate Air Suspension Install Guide! In this video I go over and explain how to install air ride in your car and how it all works. I've done this a few times so along the way I learned a few things that may help a first timer! Hope this video helps you guys out!

Awesome video man. Just ordered my 3p kit with bags and was going to pay quite a bit to get it installed but after watching this you gave me the confidence to do it myself! Made it seem so simple and not so intimidating. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything.
So, did you install it yourself in the end? how was your experience
rip
So how long did it take ?
@@PhYlLWoEyes I actually did and am very glad i did it myself. When ever I had any issues I knew where to look and how to fix it.
@@danieldelgado9024being honest it took me a total of 25 hours. I did have several hold ups, no fault to airlift just double and triple checking everything was time consuming.
Just got bags for my magnum and never done them before but with your video and how simple you made it to how it is in my head makes me confident enough to do it myself. Thanks for the video
More than welcome man! Good luck with the install!
Were you able to do it?
Been having a bad day but as soon as my guy posted a new vid it got better
hahaha glad I could help bro 🙌❤️
너도 나쁜 하루를
little tip for the compressor cutouts: the pieces look symetrical so you could put the left one on the right side if there arent any tools in there anyway so it will look cleaner :)
what about the strut adjustments? how'd you do that? I noticed you didn't show that part. seems like that would be critical, no?
Great installation video, very thorough and complete. It is of particular interest to me as I was considering replacing the YellowSpeed coilovers on my S55 AMG to these air bag systems. However, Amanda's honest assessment of the ride quality of this system is causing me to rethink the move. The harsh ride of my current coilovers - despite the many damping settings, etc, is the main reason I was looking at going for the air bag system. However, there doesn't seem to be any improvement with it.
smart man
The nostalgia of this video. I remember when this went down on the blue one!
Loving the video homie I was always wondering how hard this was I'm still scared to do it myself but who knows 🤣
Been loving the video's keep up the good work
Appreciate that homie!❤️
thanks for the video bro very step by step and educational.
How long did it take you to do your first install? I daily my car so hopefully I can do it in a weekend
This install was so satisfying
thank you❤️
I’ve watched this video 10 times getting ready for this weekend to install mine😂I’ll lyk how it goes lollll
How did it go for you?
Did you do it?
@@theederominus yeah lol sorry I forgot to reply for over a year🤣but went well, me and my buddy installed em. We had a small leak in the front right strut but fixed it by putting some more teflon on. Little over a year later and still love em.
@@braxtonnnnn how often you get the tires aligned? And what did you follow in this video? I got a tray in my trunk not sure if I must take that out? And did you build it around the spare tire or within the trunk?
@@theederominus I’d get it aligned maybe every 6 months, it will eat your tires up within 10,000 miles if not lol. And we pretty much did it step by step how this video did except I didn’t install 2 compressors so it was a little easier. And we put the management system where the spare tire goes and took the tire out completely. Also I keep a tool bag in my trunk sometimes and it’s fine as long as you’re not taking turns too fast so it won’t slam against the tank. I also put my compressor in the trunk on top rather than under with the management and lines.
on a car with a battery in the trunk, like a miata, would it be a bad idea to cut the harness to size? or should i just zip tie the wires up and hide em
to stay safe i'd use zip-ties, but if you can practice soldering and gain enough skill you should cut the wire to save space and make your wiring look a bit more simple and just nice in general
agreed
Love the beard my dude 💯
thank you bro🤙🏽
Hi @BeaKhan, thanks for the vids. Should I air up the compressor for the first installation? And can you send a link if where can I buy air suspension kit for my Dodge Avenger 2011? Thanks a lot. I'm so excited to install mine.
adjust the strut height. It's stiff because you are running too much air pressure and the bags can only hold so much and will end up tearing the bags over too much stress. I believe that you should not be running more than 100 for that light of car. You can also swap out to different types of bags like triple bellows which gives more lift while being comfortable.
exactly what i was gonna say, improper strut height to bag pressure for ride height causing a bad ride.
how much air do you recommend @ ride height?
@@idrisu1 depends on the vehicle, but all bags have a max psi of 160 so staying around 75 to 110 is cool. To me, I think exceeding over 100 psi is a lot just because you have to account for the corner weight of the vehicle when you go up and down driveways. I ran 95 and 80, car felt stiff enough and pressure would shoot up to 120 when going up driveways.
Such a great video ! On point 💯🔥🙏
Hi. I appreciate your help 👏👏
Any suggestions on a kit for my 2010 explorer sport Trac adrenalin ? Tks
Did you order the tire air jack separately?
No end links needed? For the front?
Driving around !? when did it start running ? 😲 just realized in the last video it wasn’t in the garage lol!
lmaooo a little bit ago
I have BCs and I want to switch. Is this worth it? Can I still drive hard? Like track, drift and daily?
I would say it should be fine for daily and, track. But drifting might do some damage to the bags.
U installing air suspension on the car I was specifically looking for
Odd question. After installing, since the bags have no air in them, when you take the car off the jack stands how is it not on the ground? Do you fill the struts up before taking it off the jack stands?
New vid? Lets goo!
I'd like to see a video of installing air-ride using second hand parts - a kind of FrankenAir 😁😁 I have a 1985 Rover SD1 and am considering using bits of a Range Rover, maybe bits of Lexus etc etc......
Great video I have air on my 95 integra and need some help it's all new to me
Is the ride more smooth with airlift set up??
i prefer airlift over these struts we installed.
So what was the solution to the rear struts being so stiff?
When we collabing and bagging my brz or 335d??
lets do it bro💪🏽
Does it works for Rwd and FWd or it only for 4Wd
Do you have to remove wheel well liners so it can sit flush to the ground?
Depends on how low you want to go
How long it took c2b to send you your bags
Whats the tire inflator thing for ? Do you have a link ?
So I only have one question. When you run the lines from the manifold to the air strut itself or airbag whichever you may have. Do the length of the hoses have to be equal so that everything airs up equally
I know this is a late addition but no, it’s all adjusted by psi. And each strut is its own reading. If you set them for 60psi then the system will fill each air strut through its own air line, till it registers 60psi. Or whatever pressure you set it too. Line length varies due to installation and does not effect it
@mv7422 thank you I really appreciate you getting back to me. This info is very helpful
Im having trouble trying to find a fuse to tap into, whichever one I try, either doesn’t power or doesnt turn off when I turn off my car
i usually go with either the cigarette lighter or wiper fuse
does the airlift 3p kit come with the fuse for the wire harness or do I have to buy it seperatly?
Where did you get the diagram?
what size air line are you running 1/4 or 3/8???
How much did you payed for the setup you selected with All things you needed?
Do the struts have air in them when installed?
Im kinda new to the whole air suspension thing etc, can you comfortably drift woth em or would i be better off just getting coilovers
It’s all for show and no go lol
It definitely depends on your suspension set up, what brand and struts and how you dampen them. there are a lot of people that race with their air suspension, you definitely cannot beat coil overs when it comes to what is better on the track but I like to drive hard around corners and I can confidently say my suspension held up pretty well for spirited driving.
@@franchisefred4066 that’s not true like at all😂I have 3p airlift performance suspension on my 2020 mustang gt and I track my car, Drift my car, Go 160 mph in my car with absolutely no issues.. If anything the air ride is better performance wise then my oem suspension
@@franchisefred4066
That’s not true… Cody Miles is running an air ride STI in Global Time Attack. Setting lap records and winning his class multiple times.
Also, the Risky Devil crew is entirely on air, as far as I know.
Very informative!!! Thank you!!!!
🔥 vid my dude
thank you homie!
What are the exact models for both those air suspensions?
What happened to the sti? Also update on the 2022 brz?
soon brotha real soon🙌🏼
Can I have the link for the bags please?
i dont have a link but you can dm @highintakeperformance and get then ordered! Or even on bagriders.com!
@@beakhan thanks 🙏
That’s dope 💪🏾💪🏾
You should have put the terminals and fuse holders on after you fed the wires through would have made it so much easier.
Have you gotten an update on the new BRZ?
yes I just got it and Ill make a quick vid about it soon! This wait has been killing me and im sure you too hahaha
I'm gonna attempt it tomorrow morning with a friend helping
How did it go? Im gonna do it with a friend as well but im still kinda nervous
@@stevendls4814took 6 hours but we got it done lol the rear suspension was a pain in the a**
Did it really take 6 hours? Why?
Because I’m not a professional mechanic and have never done suspension work before? Took longer with running lines to make sure I ran them right and hidden
@@demineon4966 did you put them through the firewall for the front? I wasn’t saying why like that , sorry. I meant like is it really easy to wire it? I got a trunk tray , so I wondered how that would even work? Did you use the space around your spare tire to place yours or was it more harder than that?
So what do you do if the wire that connects to the iPod looking thing got severed? Easy fix?
Why would it? Exactly how often are you accidentally cutting the miles of wiring in your car?
Did you put on adjustable end links with it? Or did you keep the OEM ones?
you’re going to need adjustables
What ab the 3H?
front struts arent u supposed to bang the frame
only if you camber in the top plate all the way, then you need to to bang out the metal to make clearance. But if you just throw air suspension in without much negative camber, your good to go lol
all those wires would stress me out lol forgot to show how u connect it to the battery 👀 nice beard 👍🏼
Aye new week new vid
yessirrr🙌🙌
Do a install video on a bmw F06 please
Where did you get the fluffy stuff for the trunk?
hobby lobby!
Why wouldn’t you show how to install the air lines into the mainfold
I have airtekk bags for sale 😭 less then a month old. NY area. For brz
airlift is the best imo!
@@beakhan for me they ride the same. With airlift you would have to hammer the strut tower for clearance when you air out. Went with airtekk due to it being a inch smaller in diameter, so hammering isn’t necessary.
FFS less yapping and more work. There's no need to repeat the same thing six times in ten seconds at every step
You will install turbo??
most likely supercharger on the gen1 brz and turbo the gen 2
bro the bottom port is for drain. from you connecting the bottom port to the manifold you are sending straight water to the manifold...
there is a water trap between the tank and manifold my guy haha. I quickly mentioned it but it was hidden behind the trim panel. There was a quick shot of it
what rims are those?
What happened to amandas z
sold it a while back lol
@@beakhan is the red Z on the lift Mick Beth's?
Why buy 3p not alot of difference to v2 why spend more on 3p when the only really difference is you can use your phone as the controller
imo there is a big difference. Yes you can use your phone to control your car but also it is much easier to navigate through the presets, settings and it has some little features that the v2 doesnt have. It all comes down to personal choice though, some people im sure prefer the v2 for the simplicity!
Bro you need someone to help you. Would you mind me helping you in your garage free of charge
faux is pronounced "fo", not "fox"
I can’t stand how bouncy mine is!!!!!
Did you adjusted the damping ?
Can i bring my car to you because i don’t want to mess with my suspension lol
Give me a kit pleaseeee
Faux fur or fox fur lol. nice install.
Nice video but we need music in nd less talk
What car name sir please reply
Second 😂😂
No sound system? Trash. Where u gonna put your sub & amp? Exactly.
Or maybe he never will.. he's cool with the stock audio system.
The way you assumed he ever wanted to put a sounds system
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Airlift is so slow I can't believe people are wasting that much money on that garbage. Manifolds are overpriced junk.
EXACTLY 2 ugga-duggas ✅✅
Does it works for Rwd and FWd or it only for 4Wd
