How To Install Air Suspension | Complete Guide

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.

[@PhYlLWoE]

So, did you install it yourself in the end? how was your experience

[@salami99]

rip

[@danieldelgado9024]

So how long did it take ?

[@jerrynoble8781]

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

[@beakhan]

More than welcome man! Good luck with the install!

[@ram7932]

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 :)

[@hemzz_21]

Been loving the video's keep up the good work

[@beakhan]

Appreciate that homie!❤️

Loving the video homie I was always wondering how hard this was I'm still scared to do it myself but who knows 🤣

[@adrianhernandez4256]

thanks for the video bro very step by step and educational.

thank you homie!

[@JamesBrown-of1rq]

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.

[@salami99]

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.

[@sarahlivingstone8367]

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......

[@wildforager1472]

Great video I have air on my 95 integra and need some help it's all new to me

[@refluent187]

New vid? Lets goo!

[@eperry3585]

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?

[@Gotham_City_collectibles]

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

[@crazyboi1818]

Aye new week new vid

[@beakhan]

yessirrr🙌🙌

[@chadhannan]

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?

[@rotty2309]

You should have put the terminals and fuse holders on after you fed the wires through would have made it so much easier.

[@christiangarner7078]

So what was the solution to the rear struts being so stiff?

[@brady2651]

does the airlift 3p kit come with the fuse for the wire harness or do I have to buy it seperatly?

[@echo1949]

[@CyV]

Do you have to remove wheel well liners so it can sit flush to the ground?

[@bbyflip1]

all those wires would stress me out lol forgot to show how u connect it to the battery 👀 nice beard 👍🏼

[@angrod3]

Driving around !? when did it start running ? 😲 just realized in the last video it wasn’t in the garage lol!

[@beakhan]

lmaooo a little bit ago

[@mizu-ro8xp]

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

[@andrejcupac7359]

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

[@beakhan]

agreed

[@rdf_fila]

How much did you payed for the setup you selected with All things you needed?

[@zeltrohd]

Did you put on adjustable end links with it? Or did you keep the OEM ones?

[@beakhan]

you’re going to need adjustables

[@acplays9223]

What are the exact models for both those air suspensions?

[@user-is9ni5uo5v]

what size air line are you running 1/4 or 3/8???

[@ovwiomo.fx1]

Does it works for Rwd and FWd or it only for 4Wd

[@XenkKenny]

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

[@beakhan]

i usually go with either the cigarette lighter or wiper fuse

[@danielleduc5278]

I have BCs and I want to switch. Is this worth it? Can I still drive hard? Like track, drift and daily?

[@braxtonnnnn]

I would say it should be fine for daily and, track. But drifting might do some damage to the bags.

[@55pillsbury]

Do a install video on a bmw F06 please

[@dms164]

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

[@franchisefred4066]

It’s all for show and no go lol

[@beakhan]

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.

[@elianderson3956]

@@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

[@Peter-ff1tp]

@@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.

[@jdawg3631]

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.

[@tallxboi94]

exactly what i was gonna say, improper strut height to bag pressure for ride height causing a bad ride.

[@idrisu1]

how much air do you recommend @ ride height?

[@jdawg3631]

@@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.

Is the ride more smooth with airlift set up??

i prefer airlift over these struts we installed.

You will install turbo??

[@beakhan]

most likely supercharger on the gen1 brz and turbo the gen 2

[@kiwislayr]

front struts arent u supposed to bang the frame

[@beakhan]

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

[@tdtang62]

bro the bottom port is for drain. from you connecting the bottom port to the manifold you are sending straight water to the manifold...

[@beakhan]

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

airlift is the best imo!

[@joe95164]

@@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.

[@thegrouchytub7837]

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

[@beakhan]

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!
