    Hello chaps,

    I would like to get air ride fitted to one of my projects (an old Merc), and I am looking for some recommendations for someone who can supply and fit a nice and reliable kit, with minimum hassle.

    Any recommendations on the people to go to?

    Cheers, Tom

    I have just removed a Air ride kit from a lowrider I have just sold (well scrapped, engine was gearbox was broken)

    It runs on universal (Aerosport) Bag over strut bags, using V2 management plus full lines etc

    I used to run Airrex struts with accuair e-level management and iPhone controller on the e46 I've not decided should be my new skid car.

    The whole setup was from plush automotive, they fitted it too as I was away for work. They guys there really are shit hot and really know their stuff however their labour does not come cheap. To be quite honest, if you you've got a bit about you I'm sure you could fit it yourself. Fitting air ride is like putting Lego together, nothing to it.

    If youre just looking for a lift kit and not full air ride, Stance Solutions seems to be the way forward - cheaper, and lets you keep proper coilovers :)

    Thanks brother- hope you're good (long time no speak)

    Yes, I still have the GT3, though considering selling at the moment. :)

    I spoke to the chaps at airride.co.uk who do fitting who seemed knowledgeable and sound and will also speak to Plush. I am looking for something fairly basic for what is a pretty cheap old banger- just having some fun with it

    Thanks for replies so far

    You might not be local, but section 9 street rods I think it's called,

    Xtec Design - Home

    Some times hard to get hold of but builds some wild cars on air.
