rear airbags

[Spoolin Hooligan]

As my sig says I have airbags in the back. But they require me to fill them up when I want to use them. And let the air out when I don't. I was thinking of getting a switch that controls a compressor to lift the rear when I'm racing. Kinda like a "race mode" push button in those foreign cars. Hahaha.....anyway the question is where would I get a kit a person to install. Would I have to go to one of those places that hook up those "gangsters" in the city.

Or one of those "Redneck 4X4 shops" that puts them on trucks with the K5LA train horns . I have one on ONE of my trucks, but not the other one......yet!!!

I just don't want to go some place where they try to talk me in to putting 24s on my car. There's gotta be someone on here who has a setup for it.

Would it be cheaper just to get the H&R rear sway bar instead of worrying about the bags?

Idk. Either way someone is gonna have to put it on.

If you research the operation of air bags, I think you may think twice about trying to blow them up with a pump etc....
From the research I've done, you want to keep about 5 to 8 psi in them when just in normal everyday driving so that they don't collapse completely.
Also, when you're launching, the passenger side is the side that takes the load, and that bag is the one that varies in psi depending on the times you run.
I run mid 10 sec and I run around 26psi in the pas. side and 12 or so on the drivers side. This was told to me by one of the heavies in the industry.
And if your car is in the 11's, you'll be running less psi.... so what I'm saying is, do some research before you dump a bunch of pesos into a pump setup
that might not do what needs to be done ......just my 2 cents...good luck

My air bags have held the same air for years. Find the leak.

i dont think there is a leak. the guy who sold it to me lost a peice of the plastic tubing. and so he deflated the other one. In the process of finding another plastic air line/tube. its so small i wouldnt know where to start looking where to find one. Any suggestions
