Had airlift 3p on an 09Z34 for 4+years. No complaints. It’s been amazing.
bro.... What about the handling quality and stuff like drifting and all...???
@@dustieplayz3676 it all is superior. It’s top of the line suspension period.
@@finnilrebna348 have you had to fix anything or replace anything? And how often do you drive it?
@@josemartinezz9152no issues. No replacements. It’s not my daily, but gets driven often. I highly Recommend Airlift over other competitors.
@@finnilrebna348 do you get the leaks he’s talking about?
I've been looking for a setup like this but couldn't find one, so you actually came in clutch
I got a mk 7 golf wagon and it took me about id say 16 hours (2 days of 12-10 and 10-8) with all the wiring and removal of my bc racing coils to the 3h series Airlift performance bags for my install, and i still havent even set my height sensors up i just got the pressure lol. been about 3 months for me currently and i love how it feels while driving once i got the perfect presets set up only con is i got a bigger antisway then stock and it just rubs on my axles a bit if i got under like 33 psi on the fronts, rears i can get down to like 20 with steelies and winter tires on
I have a mk 3 vr6 and Ive been watching alot of videos cause its my first car and this helps out with me deciding if I want to save for bags or use coil overs for now
Awesome I’m glad I could be of help!
Damn that’s a pricey total, worth it in my opinion tho👍🏽
Great video 👍👍 I got a 2011 MK6 se and want to do bags but I can't find a shop 😢 you got any suggestions
You inspire me thank u
No thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for the video
Not bad. It escaped you to mention the ride quality comparison. Also, I don't think you mentioned the name of the controller. It is best you follow up with a part 2 experience after you upgrade from plastic lines to the metal ones.
Is it much stiffer?
@@user-so7gg9zz3r Ride quality will obviously be softer on bags than on coilovers.
@@tredfxman the new preformance edition had the ability to control stiffness now
Most of my friends have vdubs with bags. With proper tools you can install the rear in about 30 minutes and the front takes about the same unless your knuckle doesn’t want to spread from coilovers to bags I would never go back even though there is some serious maintenance to do with bags
Me and my friend took 14 hours to install with trial and error. The instructions this 3P comes with are so bad. UA-cam videos helped the install go way smoother
Beautiful car my dude.
Thanks a lot man
is it ok to have the compressor and the lines and the tank and all that by a very vibratey sub woofer
Did you ever find a answer for this?
@@Kholmes97it’s going to be very annoying for you and passengers
Everyone keep talking about slamming the car. How does the dam ride quality feel after bags??? Thats what I care about...who cares about scraping ants off the pavement or how good it looks if it rides like garbage!!
Ride quality is great. Rivals a lot of coilovers out there.
How is the ride quality... is it soft comfortable... or crushy and harsh.
Depends on PSI and weight of the car
If you run your lines on the inside of the car you will have no leaks
Turn off the music when you talk
What bout the noise tho?
I just installed V2 with Viair compressor and it's not very loud. Like a worn-out power steering pump
Thanks for the reply my man
Sorry it’s late but the noise depends on where the system is located in the car, for example if it’s in the boot in a 5 door car then it’s not going to be a big deal. But say in the boot of a 350z like I had it in, the noise is very annoying.
I went with the airlift performance 3p kit. Two compressors, a water trap, and an automatic electric drain kit.
The drain kit allows you to purge water from the tank to the outside of the car at the push of a button. Also, the sound is pretty cool.
My whole setup ran me approximately $3700.00. I paid a licensed airlift shop to install it for another $1400.00. I installed the drain kit myself.
Many say to install it yourself but unlike this gentleman, I've had my setup for 2 summers and 2 winters with no air leaks, no issues, and the only maintenance is purging water from your tank every other week. Again If you have the electric drain kit - all you have to do is push a button.
Air suspension is not maintenance heavy and if you're running into a lot of leaks it means it was installed improperly. The installation is very very important. It is going to make you hate or love air suspension.
I recommend paying a professional. Trying to save money doing it yourself may cause a lot of headaches and end up costing you more $ down the line.
To each their own. $5,000 on a car that’s now 10 years old++ to change suspension is the absolute high end. As I said if you want the best you gotta pay for the best but it… comes at a cost. I’m not making videos for people with deep pockets.
@Wynot That's a very valid point! 5 grand for an old vehicle suspension is an awful lot. The vehicle would either have to be a sought-after antique worth a lot of money or a relatively new vehicle for most to justify spending that kind of cash. No disagreement there.
However, any and every aftermarket modification can be seen as a waste of money to anyone outside the automobile community and I've seen bags on vehicles worth less than yours. It's still a nice car and it means something to you.
Your video was accurate and honest. You explained the difference between slammed and performance series. You mentioned that you've installed it yourself and you openly addressed the issues you have been experiencing. I just felt it was important to clarify that these issues aren't as frequent as you inadvertently let on If installed correctly. It could put someone off on the whole idea of going with air suspension.
I don't have deep pockets but I do have little patience. At least not as much patience as you. When faced with the same decision - I felt that $1400.00 for professional work and a warranty isn't a lot of money if it means saving myself from having to constantly fix errors on a component that has the potential to leave me and a new vehicle stranded somewhere.
Where would you look for a shop at I rather pay someone but I don't know where to look 😢😢😅
@@mrwilliams7086 if you're getting airlift suspension, you can go to their website.They have a search feature to locate an authorized dealer/installer in your area. That's how I found my installer.
I don't remember if airlift sells directly from their site as I didn't make the purchase until I paid the installer a visit. He was able to order it for me .
