coils for everything.


You let me know how you get on replacing your sump/manifold/lips after smashing them into potholes/speedbumps/animals.

Bags for dailys, coils for trailer queens and/or residents of completely flat land.

Technically, yes, it is a pneumatic system. Most decent setups these days use a bag over coil layout, Meaning that the car is running coilover suspension, just at its lowest setting. this is where the slammed part of the bags come from. When you want a lift, a compressor somewhere in the vehicle fires up, and fills the bags surrounding the coils with air, pressing against either end of the spring, decompressing it. This in turn lifts the car enough to drive it, and because bumps are absorbed by cushions of air, they are ultimately comfortable. Should they fail, they'll simply go back to their lowest setting, i.e. where the coils are, its on older, bag only setups that the car would bottom out on bag failure.

any other questions?
