Air Ride Rides problems
Friday, November 18, 2005 10:57 PM
How bad is the ride quality suppose to be with air ride? I haven't got my fenders rolled yet so its at about mid height but i swear every little bump in the road it shakes the whole car.. i have to drive super slow and even at that the smallest bump feels like im going to damage something! Ive had Coil overs and the ride quality was a walk in the park compared to this air ride setup. I have the easy street kit for an 02 cavy. Does the ride quialty improve drastically when the car is slammed all the way to the ground??? I havnt driven it like this because of my fenders..

Plus to adjust the height the smallest touch of the button will send the car up or down insanely fast so its really hard to set it at a set height for all wheels. What is going on here?

Was the kit installed properly, is this normal? whats going on? thnx guys

You have an adjusment knob on the bottom of the strut. Turn to the left all the way and then turn like 4 clicks right. You should feel a hell of alot better when riding. I had mine at 45 psi up front and 50 or 55 in the back. With the knob 4 from the left in front and the back 5 or 6 from the left. Just play with your settings. You most likely have the stiffness way to high on your struts.

yea if its bouncing on every little bump, your settings are too high on the damping
