- In todays video we install Air Suspension on my Subaru Wrx Sti and I show you guys can install it onto your car in a few easy steps! Installing air suspension can seem intimidating at first so I made this video hoping to simplifying it a little bit. This is exactly a "tutorial" but I hope this helps someone understand how to go about installing air bag suspension or at least makes it seem less intimidating.
We installed an Airlift 3p management with dual compressors along with the Airtekk Struts
I hope this video helps you guys understand how to install bags/ air suspension onto your cars!

That compression fitting you removed and tossed in the trash is 10 times better than that push to connect fitting. Over time the plastic push to connect fitting start to deteriorate and crack which then will lose its seal.
Push connects are available in brass and stainless also..for those in corrosive parts of the country
I would have kept the fittings on the side in case that happened. But would have added some Teflon glue on those fittings to prevent any air leaks, cross threading’s etc
Your reaction when you lowered it was priceless. Great amazing content for the car community
hahah thank you bro!
Ur a weeb u aren’t any part of the car community and say jdm community idk y y’all choose to rope the rest of us car lovers into this dumb junk this and super cars are all lames care about nowadays I hope jdm dies
Amazing video! Definitely helped with soon to come bag install for the FRS. ❤️
Cant wait to see it bagged homie👀🙏🏽🔥
i have bagged 10+ vehicles with the airlift 3P system and i have some words of advice for you my friend. 1: when you install a tank drain make sure you put that at the bottom of the tank or that "tank drain" is usless. 2: why the wiper fuse and not a power when key on fuse? like ignition. and 3: WHERE ARE YOUR WATER TRAPS? as soon as any type of condensation gets in that tank you can kiss that manifold goodbye. make sure you ALWAYS use water traps.
air suspension is a game changer 🔥 the car is looking a lot better
cant wait for the finished product bro!
Im getting ready to bag my GTI and this video was awesome! Great job bro.
The excitement at the end the video 🔥🔥I felt the same way when watching
Looks awesome! You could get a custom box around the tank so it looks oem. Similar to custom sub boxes but it's just for hiding the tank and boxes won't hit it.
Looking hard dawg 🔥
Dude that looks fire
I just ordered bags and i cant wait for it. I think k i want to put my compressor in the spare tore area too.
Great video Bro and nice Ride.
Tip: tape the wire to a metal hanger and insert the hanger thru the firewall. Take the wire loose from the hanger and then pull the hanger back out. Gets it thru easily no matter what size hands and how small a space. Bend to fit your needs.
Love how Giddey this makes you! Super excited to lower my car 🤌🏻
amazing video, I really want to bag my wrx hatch. just waiting on the right moment to purchase it. your build is turning out 🔥🔥🔥
thank you so much bro! I would definitely recommend it 👍🏼 !!
Looks great!
Honestly love the direct and honest information about the project you put out, so when someone wants to do the same they can follow the instructions better
appreciate that bro🙏🏽
New subscriber and i just finished watching ur painting on the Z. Beautiful and amazing work you do. Also congrats on your warehouse. All good wishes and god bless you bro bro! 🤙🏼🤙🏼 see you in the streets maybe
thank you so much brotha🤙🏼 appreciate you watching and supporting!
This video is so raw straight forward and just real from the installation to the finishing it at 2:30am man…. Been there 😂but gotta say it definitely pays off
Good job bro, thanks for share keep it up
Cant wait just purchased setup
sheeeesh subie lookin fire so far !
thank you bro!🤙🏼
Honestly, This is the best DIY air suspension video on the net I've seen 👌🏾
Theres better ones out there. This guy missed out on a lot of important details.
@@surviver5738 link me to them
Hell yeah bag fuckinnn everythingggg Lmaoo I bet all the “static or die” dudes go bags now that 80% of UA-camrs are 😭
Appreciate this video!
Awesome video
Amazing video
That looks fire bro!! I bought airlift 3p setup for my xrs corolla at the beginning of last summer I’m getting ready to put in my boss is letting me use his hoist. Hopfully it goes as smooth as yours did!
Goodluck with the install man!
@@beakhan thanks buddy!! The only thing is I have 2 12’s in my trunk, and the sound system is worth more then the car. I didn’t want to do a spare tire delete. Honestly I didn’t even think about it. I was just thinking how am I going to get this all in there but if I blew a tire, with the 2 12’s I wouldn’t be able to get the tire out anyways so I’m going to do the delete like you and put the compressors and brain in under and the tank hidden behind the sub box so it’s totally stealth
Damn, you guys did and amazing job on both cars
thank you so much!🙏🏽
Anytime brotha
straight fire
Dope 🔥 how much is the kit that u used? And what includes, thanks in advance
It's all coming together
Goann bag my Lincoln aviator Gonan be dope good vid my boy
rocking that Koi Werks hoodie 🙏🏽 as she should
yessirrr🤙🏼
This is dope! Thanks for keeping it simple for the installation man. By the way what size tank is that?
i believe its a 5 gallon, im glad i could help!
Hey man... nice mod you did there... am just curious though... how is the ride quality.. is it smooth... is it that proverbial magic carpet smooth.
Great content.
Get a little fabric flap that velcros from the top of the seats over the tank? Prevents stuff banging into it and scratching it up, can probably stich your ig on it and roll it up for shows
13:03 all you need to see
😂😂
@@beakhan hehe love the content man! Makes me alot more confident on trying this myself on my Del Sol! Got a new subscriber!
Thoughts on airtekk struts? I’ve heard mixed reviews but I’m looking into them
bro you're car looks so sick! excellent job explain everything. you're inspiring me to do it myself. you're in NJ? I'd pay to borrow that lift and some of your expertise!
thank you so much brotha! i am in Nj but between work and pending projects id have little to no time to take on any more projects at the moment
just wondering with the ground wire couldn't you have ground it by the trunk ? or would that not work? also with tank are they all plug and play or do u need to make sure u have the right tank with ur air suspension
Great video, well done. how are you liking the ride comfort/quality?
absolutely loving it so far, i just need to adjust the damper settings and stiffen them up since thats how i like to ride but other than that they have been good so far
hella heart eyes for the wrx, thats so sick
thanks bro!
Those air struts allow more negative camber by removing the two bolts closest to the engine on the camber plate and there’s two more threaded holes closer to the fender side of the camber plate to thread them into
Hey man any chance you have done a video or could do one in the future of changing leader lines to stainless steel (or black stainless from one of the other videos of yours I saw). I had my car bagged awhile ago as I didn't have any clue how to do it but want to change my front leader lines to stainless steel and want to try my hand now.
hey man, where did you buy the cable attachments that go into the bags? thanks!
so did you torque the bolts back the specific foot pound??? or just screw them back in?
Hey so i just got a honda civic LX for my first car, and i wanna do this someday, but i have a question for anyone. Do i have to change anything to the wheel or the frame around the wheel so when it lowers it doesnt rub or scrape on anything?
Amazing job!! You should do my car - TLX
Having the air tank positioned with the fittings facing down will make draining condensation out much easier
Will this work in a 93 Buick Roadmaster? I’m looking to make it go up and down but don’t wanna do hydraulics. Just make it low but lift it if I need to
SHEEEESHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥
❤️❤️❤️
I’m in Massachusetts I know the feeling hahaha
I had air suspension installed not too long ago. My question is, does there need to be so much camber in the back? I have a 2021 Kia k5. And just went through my tires in like 5 months. Can i have it to where it’s pretty much much straight or does it need to have that camber? Thanks!
Could you put Teflon on the hose fittings when u put them on so they don't leak?
Can you replace the top plate with an after market camber plate if the air struts you buy doesnt come with one?
Could i have the link to the new compressor fittings please?
Make sure you like this video! Guess I will hop in my ride and cruise on air. Should I ride high or low?
I wanna do this with my Lincoln, but I wanna know how long do these last?
Also you should've put the tank drain line running to the port under the tank. How are you going to drain it with it running to the port on the side of the tank? And where is your water trap?
Directions say the manifold should be higher than the tank and compressor too, cause it's harder for water to go uphill.
Not worried about my install, I'm more and more convinced that alot of people have issues because of improper installation.
Dope 👀
Recommend buying a long pry bar to pry struts out
Who sells the fittings you replace on the new struts
what kind of ride you put that air suspension on?
Do u do other ppl cars?
I was wondering because I’m installing mine this weekend my kit only came with one air manager can anyone breakdown the difference between having one or two ? It’s my first time bagging any of my cars
dude was hyped and which made me hyped for him. 😂
How did you conected this to the batery i dont understand and how much you payed for this pls answer
bro personally i would get a secondary battery in the trunk so you could possibly even run the bags without the car running and so you don't drain your starter batt with the bags
Cool but what happens if u get a flat tire? I want bags but dont sanna sacrificr my spare
20:56 Looks great, but the drain should be facing down. When compressing air it can create water, this can build up in the tank, and cause rust inside the tank.
Looks like it was welded that way, oh well.
What camera setup do you use. My UA-cam channel just got successful and I need a camera. Your quality sounds awesome and looks awesome. Been watching you since 2018 thanks for the amazing content
thank you so much! I have a canon rp with a 17-45 lens and a rode video mic go!
Thanks man, It’s really awesome that you replied!!!
@@beakhan maybe someday I can afford a pro mirrorless camera but for now I think I’m gonna go with the canon 10-22, movo vxr10 pro, and the canon sl3 body, it’s like 1/2 the price lol!
How much did this coast all together bro?
Where should I get bags for a 1987 Toyota Supra
Random question, but have you ever had bags pop while airing up? I just got bags in but when I air up it pops and moves the whole car.
I’m lookin to get bags on ma 17 accord but idk cuz i like driving far from places Nd winter is a bitch around here , soo what’s max height is it stock or higher then stock or what any info ! Im looking at airtekk stage 3 . If any one can help with max height on bags !
Did you have the air drain line outside? It sounds nice and loud when airing out. Mine was installed with no line on the manifold so it just dispenses the air inside the trunk. I wish it could sound louder. I might drill a hole and stick a line out. I’m afraid of exposing the line on weather conditions like condensation as it will be opened. How did you do it?
Yep the exhaust line!! You placed it out. I wanna do that. But what did you use to place it nicely on the bottom of the car?
Can you please link me to the places you get your items from, and I mean all of them.
thanks
How much was the hole kit?
Go get a “fish” wire you can run it through the small holes and parts, tape the wire to the end and pull them through. I got 50’ of it and cut it about 6’ long. They sale them at Home Depot. It’s kinda like a snake for your toilet. Especially if you do this type of work all the time it works wonders!
What type of air you put in these tanks
if possible try to install the airlift app on your car's touchscreen system. it'll look cool and you can even hide the remote somewhere.
that would he so sick but unfortunately airlift doesnt have an android app and the headunit is running on an android os😕. that wouldve been so sick if i couldve pulled it off though hahaa
That's what I did in my mk4, slide the ashtray door open and there it is, I hid all the stuff as much as I could as I still want a functional trunk and vehicle.
Idk what part of Jersey your in but next Sunday will you be at Atco? For the show??
i might swing by, my car wont be in the show though haha. It isnt show ready yet loll
@@beakhan my brz isn’t either but that be cool. I’ll have to keep eye out if we see you! My and my wife enjoy your content esp Subaru content :)
where can I buy airtekk struts
- I just wish you could go into more detail on which wire goes where
Make a video driving with The new suspension!!!
Thought I was gonna look all over for Subaru air ride vids.
Didn’t even search make/model.
Correct generation Sti and everything.
Price for the whole kit?
Do you have a water trap
Where can I buy it

Great video
love from India
❤️

Where did you get those upgraded fittings?
airtekks website!
How much did all of it cost
I'd love a nice show setup but I have to have as little in my actual trunk as possible because I need that space 😢
hey man where did you get that carbon hood? i’ve been looking for one
hit up @highintakeperformance on instagram! He will try to get it to you asap!
@@beakhan which brand did you get?
It had to happen like a forklift has to get Tomei exhaust😂
😂😭
