Yes I've seen those "quality" useless, uninformative videos too!:frusty::frusty:
Sure you could do that.
Uber helpful thanks Peter :cheers:1. not yet.
2.Not much really. the stock springs and shocks weigh considerably more so, maybe not even 10kg.
3. As hard as I can where possible. Yes I throw it into corners! I chased a bike from the lights the other day and smashed it into 2nd and instead of squatting it broke traction and i was looking out the side window at the back of the bike
4. That's a hard one because it was very dis-jointed due to xmas break hassles. I'd say an entire week. If you didn't do a kit with height sensors it would easily be half that time or less. It's very involved and making brackets is of course time consuming especially if you want a minimum of factory finish which, of course I do. Plus the so called "Mustang S550 kit" from the mob I got it from is really just the actual air springs and shocks. The management system is the same for every car so this is of course where you spend all your time. The Accuair gear is nice and the wire and connectors top notch but the Relay wiring supplied by Airride is frankly cheap shit...NO TXL WIRE!!
5. Quadruple check your height sensor location, arm throws, angles and operation and do it again and again at every possible wheel angle and height. Trying to do this without a hoist would be nothing short of a nightmare! Use nutserts and tough metals for the brackets. I used 2mm stainless.
That one piece tank I got is also a problem quality wise. Poorly formed threads makes it a PITA to get it sealed. Make sure your fittings have long threads for lotsa taper otherwise they simply won't end up sealing and use the best liquid sealer you can get your hands on eg; Loctite 571. In fact the 1/4 inch fitting in the middle of the tank was the worst so I ended up plugging it until I can find a fitting with better taper or if not I'll tee in near the water trap.
6. Caster/camber is accessible with ball drive allen keys.
Btw I've been driving it unaligned so there's a fair bit to be gained there too! As soon as I get the height sensing operational and therefore my three quick height setting buttons set I'll get it aligned at my most used position(#2) which will be around 100mm down from stock.
7.I left them as they came from Airlift. I may change this after getting the height sensing system finally working.
8. Absolutely! It's more comfortable than stock even very low except of course if you hit the bump stops but you'll get that with coil springs anyway so the point is moot. I haven't actually driven it at even the stock height yet or higher than stock because I don't want to
Airlift make what is known as a pancake tank. It basically mimics the shape of a wheel. I've already had it measured and it seems that you'd need to modify the mounting bracket to make it fit (too tall). On top of that, even if it did fit the hole properly, you'd still have to find somewhere to mount the compressor, manifold, ecu etc.
I no complain
