Speedway Tech Talk - Air Ride Setup

[@adamelwood7768]

Owning that car, i imagine a particular Eaze E song becomes engrained in the brain.

[@salimsopari]

Thank you for making this video What air pressure switch do you use? im thinking of going with a 150/180, but wanted to know is there any benefit with using the 165/200? Also I plan to use SS7 bags which have internal bump stops, but is there a way to set my lowest height a little higher so that if in an emergency i lost all air pressure i wouldn't be scraping on the ground?

[@ramlochanwilliams9298]

Hey I have an air ride system I am trying to figure out how to make it go faster I was watching KZbin I have a 93 Cadillac Fleetwood and these guys bags go fast to rise it up and quick to lower what would it I need for that to be able to do something like that

[@prayfawind]

nice setup bro, but it would of been nice to see more of the product and how you setup, the majority of the video only you was in the shot

[@fernandoherrera1657]

Plumbers tape (Teflon) is fine.. he probably didn't wrap it opposite side of the threads.

[@TheHeadlessHorseman]

I am redoing mine for the third time now. I gave it two tries with permatex thread sealant and it always leaks, seams like it never dries. Used teflon tape the last time and its doesn't leak.

[@clydecrow3832]

sorry I got a crazy question also I just got me a bagged truck. how many valves do you need per bag just wanting to run front and back

[@curtisfisher4852]

All you need is total of 4 valves for fill and dump

[@burn1962ride]

2 per wheel to do it legit.

[@curtisfisher8969]

BURN! Yes

[@bbkg1979]

I've seen some cars lower or raise the front and rear at the same time, I'm trying to understand why your car doesn't?

[@justinharrison5159]

bbkg1979 he covered that part brother. The middle switch operates the all up all down function, in this case he chose to drop it independently

[@JP-xg8cd]

It’s called pancake the middle button raises the entire car or drops it all at once

[@deemoney6570]

Needs a lot more low! My blazers is lower then your car that I love and its just lowered

[@PeachCoastLowrider]

Can you speed it up at all ?

[@craftsmanvenezuela2028]

hello, thanks for sharing your knowledge, I have a question to do, I hope not laugh, I've never installed an air suspension, the question must install shocks?, or you just have to install air bags? Thank you

[@speedwaymotors]

Yes, you will still want to run shocks on all 4 corners. Not everyone out there with air ride runs shocks, but it will definitely improve your ride and reduce bounce as you go down the road.

[@craftsmanvenezuela2028]

Speedway Motors Thanks!

[@blakebiltwell5]

Do u need to get an alignment after the install?

[@ericcorral7404]

Good video nicecar thanks for showing it to us

[@Dillon7932]

Nice video, but Dat Ain't Even Low!XD

[@racer67]

Nice! I wanna do air bags on my 67 impala!

[@garystevens7575]

You might want to use this company for a better reference since they have the most complete kits and in different stages die impalas…. Bc fab they are in rancho Cordova ca.. but like I said impalas!! That’s them two of the workers there daily drive their impalas and are on air.. so the product and reputation. We’ll just ask and the photos will speak VOLUME!!

[@dgrandioso]

With the wilwood brakes, are you using a brake vacuum canister?

[@speedwaymotors]

In the video there is a fairly large black vacuum tank with the gauge attached on the top and visible in various segments of the video.

[@SWETHOR02]

I ride on the bumpstops and my car is almost on the ground without airride

[@tankeater]

You put your plumbers tape on backwards

[@garystevens7575]

Media error who ever done the editing of the video you quoted the basic 7 toggle switch as being “ABS”. You reall mention to say. AVS

[@romeyrome3219]

I got my set up, but it’s too slow needs to be faster

[@barberking4920]

Where did you put the bump stop's at

[@speedwaymotors]

Pat had not used any rear bump stops. He used aftermarket stops on the stock front location.

[@TheBarrios69]

Wish it was lower..

I sampled a 1973 Lincoln Continental on pure AccuAir VU-4 {on all four corners} sitting on 22-inch rims, and the ride quality was pathetically horrific beyond belief. It shocked me in a way that I could not believe, because, I originally assumed that AccuAir suspension was supposed to make the ride quality feel outrageously comfortable and smooth. Then I sampled a 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Car on the stock suspension sitting on the stock 15-inch wheels, and it literally felt like a genuine boat sailing on the ocean; it was smoother than anything I've ever imagined possible. How can this be explained???

[@evanthag105]

accuair has nothing to do with ride quality, the nice thing about accuair is that it keeps it level and you can have pre set height settings(assuming its the e-level). Still at the end of the day its just a fancy valve system, to simplify it, its job is to transfer air from your tank to the air bags. Ride quality will be based on the bags you use, where you mount the bag, what shocks you use and where they mount, and etc. You could take the accuair off that continental and install the cheap $17 manual paddle valves and it will not be any different ride quality.

[@joeyalfaro2323]

Your missing rear antennas off 1961 impala. Old lady curb feelers, and TV Rabbit ear antennas. You should done little chain steering wheel.

[@markcardenas6249]

I noticed u have one release valve mounted on the frame. Is that the only one or how many do you actually use ?

[@tboneo2005]

My cuttlass is lower than that

[@therileygray]

Good video buuuut I drive my car the height that yours is at aired down.

[@PeachCoastLowrider]

No dragging on anything?

[@ntoxic8edx]

Buttrocker airride lol. It doesnt lay out
