AIRLIFT DAMPENING ADJUSTMENT

[@F80Ho]

Glad you got it sorted out man! I prefer the stiffer ride as well! My girlfriend not so much 😂

[@HQGARAGE]

I think it’s important for the driver to be the one who decides on the ride quality 🤣😂🤣😂

[@ysidro000]

Did making the ride stiffer help with wheel liner rub? Having the same issue

[@tidehunter12]

I’m waiting on my airlift management for my new type s. This going to be my second airbag installation. I hope i can find a management bracket like yours. I love the setup!👍🏽

[@HQGARAGE]

I made the bracket for mine, I happen to have an extra one if you are interested.

[@tidehunter12]

Cool, i would love to man😊

I’ll message you at HQ_BMW

[@jayk1301]

Are you allowed to change the dampening while airred out or up. And do I need to jack my car up as well?

[@HQGARAGE]

You can adjust the dampening anytime and no it doesn’t need to be jacked up. Might help though depending where your adjustments are in the back

[@jayk1301]

@@HQGARAGE awesome, I really appreciate it.

[@geraldmartin4298]

I have the J844 type B air lines running from inside through the firewall and partially inside the left and right side of engine bay which is then connected to the braided hose. So the J844 is partially exposed in the engine bay. Will the J844 be able to withstand the engine bay heat? If so, should I wrap those lines with silicone tape perhaps? To help the hoses from getting hot?

[@HQGARAGE]

I would imagine they will be okay as long as they are not touching any of the hot exhaust parts.

[@JT10005000]

How’s ur dampening so far? I’m still trying to figure out a smooth spot for mine

[@HQGARAGE]

So far I am happy with the dampening, I however like it riding a little stiffer than normal

[@NoLoveInTokyo]

What setup is this? 3P or 3H?

[@JohnV-xr5zx]

My car with the struts adjusted as high as they can be and 75 psi is driveable anything lower i can't clear the fenders. I tried dampening and it didn't work, even at 25psi. The ride feels like i have literally no suspension and is violently bouncy. I have no idea how to fix this since its as high as it can be.

[@HQGARAGE]

Unfortunately that might be how it’s going to drive on bags, I had one car that drove like a dream and the other was so brutal

[@blobby5188]

i’m having the same issue. Front of the car is Bouncy and potholes are a nightmare for me.

[@HQGARAGE]

Yup unfortunately some cars / trucks just rife like that and it’s a sacrifice to have the look and on the ground when parked.

[@blobby5188]

@@HQGARAGE Definitely, I adjusted the back and it rides like a charm nice and smooth. The front sucks tried adjusting and nothing works unfortunately

[@kade_simms]

I loved this car when i went to the car show infront of sportchek

[@HQGARAGE]

Awesome 👏 Thank you 🙏 it was a great day forsure. Thanks for the comment

[@columbiariverdetailing1943]

man wish i could speak with you. I have a 2015 ford fiesta st with air lift suspension. bought it this way. like driving a truck down a logging road. never used or did airbags need help adjustment

[@dinogravessi1789]

Your Fiesta should have air struts on all four corners. Basically the bag is in place of the spring. Your bag pressure should be set for ride QUALITY and then you adjust (spin) the strut tubes for your ride height. Sounds like your bags have too much pressure in them and the struts are adjusted too short, meaning, if you lower the pressure the car would go too low to drive. Spin your strut tubes longer and reduce the air pressure and go from there.

[@LadiesMan.217.]

So I have a question. I’m running double bellow bags on my BC Coilovers BR Series for my Q50 but it seems to be too stiff in the rear. Will adjusting the dampening help or does that feature completely disappear when you turn your coilovers to air struts. Or should I result to getting slim bellows or would that not make a difference?

[@HQGARAGE]

Nope you can still adjust the dampening as the bags do not affect that portion of the strut. You should definitely be able to soften it up.

[@LadiesMan.217.]

@@HQGARAGE awesome, thank you for the fast reply, going to check it out today

[@kEEPITMOVIN408]

Daily driving in the softest setting 😂

[@pronoun5239]

I just got my Mustang GT with the Ait Lift Performance. 0 is the hardest setting and 30 is the softest setting.

[@wiltonestrella8796]

Now that is Stiffer you feel like it’s not so Bouncy

[@HQGARAGE]

Yup definitely not so bouncy and I am enjoying it much more now.

[@Виктор787]

[@HQGARAGE]

Thanks 🙏

[@simplyblazeegaming]

mine is really bouncy.

[@HQGARAGE]

I have heard that feedback a lot lately.

[@simplyblazeegaming]

@@HQGARAGE what could it be? Low psi? I'm at 40/30 I got the airtekk

[@HQGARAGE]

Wouldn’t be low psi, can you adjust the dampening of the strut’s themselves?

[@simplyblazeegaming]

@@HQGARAGE yes I can, it can go up to 30 clicks. Right now I am at 20 rear and 22 front

[@HQGARAGE]

Hmmmmm sounds like the same settings I had mine at, not sure 🤔 what else it could be. Might just be how it rides and I didn’t notice it so much.
