The Unofficial Aftermarket Air Suspension Thread

[BadM3Hawaii]

Can those of you on Airtekk can you please share pics of the Rear setup? I’m curious to know how it works without a spring or if you use stock spring. The guys at Airtekk don’t return calls and I’m trying to make my final decision on a setup. Thanks

The wheels are square, but I needed a 2.5mm spacer in the front to clear the spindle.

Do you remember how many mm extra the fender rolling gave you? I love your fitment!

You remove the stock springs. The bag is built into the shock, so it makes install easier. Though it does limit how high you can go in the rear(it goes plenty high anyway).

They were pulled about 5mm. I didn't measure.
Here's a vid showing the fitment before the pull.

Great set up. Wish I could do this in NY.

Btw dropped my tire psi to 39 on the stock 18s and stiffened up 1 more click on the struts. Ride quality is incredible

What is your ride height pressures and dampening settings (from full stiff)

I think I'm like 3 clicks from the stiffest on all corners. The front had 32 and the rear had 22(?) for adjust-ability, right?

The fronts are 32 and rears are 16 clicks. What is your ride height pressures?

I'm currently at 60/90psi with 18" Aeros. Dampening set at 14/8 right now but it feels like rear is way too stiff or too soft... so I'm still figuring it out. I feel like it needs to be much stiffer.

Accuair's system doesn't show PSI unfortunately. But I have my struts up pretty high now. I raised them to the point that when aired out all the way the fenders are touching lips perfectly.

As for stiffness, I'm three clicks from the stiffest all around. It is a really stiff ride now, especially since my tires are at 55psi. Not recommended for the light hearted.

. That sounds appropriate for your fitment at a low driving height, but man does it sound rough!

So I have been lurking because Im getting my set up from a group buy on FB. But I had a question about where you guys are tapping for power. Can anyone show me where?

Oh wow, that doesnt look hard at all other than moving some panels. Thanks!

I am also currently deciding to bag my model 3 or not, could anyone share their experience on day to day usage? I would like to use Endorse-CT or CVT with either 3H or elevel. thanks for any advise and input.

 

[DNAPoPo]

On regular days, I do not adjust ride height unless there is a really large incline I need to clear, I only air out for shows or events. So day to day usage is quite minimal for me.

How long does it take to go from neutral to full height? My wife has MS so getting in/out of a low car is difficult for her so an aftermarket air suspension to raise it for entry/exit would be awesome. I'm not a fan of swapping springs to permanently raise it.

I'd love to sell/trade my 3 for a Y, but I'm at retirement age and should be putting that money into retirement.

Thanks!

It really depends on setup, but a couple of minutes max

With two tanks faster than one?

More air, larger diameter lines is always faster, but how abrupt are you looking for, I mean, your not looking to make your car jump, lol

 

[towndrunk]

LOL, 30 seconds would be nice.

 

[DNAPoPo]

LOL, 30 seconds would be nice.

Totally doable, I'm also taking into account time to refill tanks, but just going up is a few seconds
