Posted September 7, 201410 yr well pretty much as the title says ^^I've been quoted £2000 by two companies in Birmingham to do a complete air ride system on my Orion.4 bags, compressor, controller, and pump, loom and pipes. another £1500 to have it fitted but I'm sure I can do that myself. But the car is barely worth £1000! Is there any way I could do it cheaper? like buying this terrible contraption and harvesting it for parts? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ford-escort-van-air-ride-/171451034433or building it myself? or retro-fitting some secondhand VW air ride parts (that are cheap all over eBay)do anyone have any experience?

September 9, 201410 yr Why the fcuk would anyone want airbag suspension. Its just dangerous It's only dangerous when some cowboy does it cheap and poorly on his driveway. Don't most trucks run on air?

I can't see the reason why you would want to spend that kind of money for air suspension. Unless you want your car in some music video or its a business promo vehicle.Standard shocks do the job ok, unless you want it for the up and down selectable movement feature.
