Air ride Suspension Users - Ride Height LEVELING??
For any of you guys Running air ride suspension...and espically on these PIG HEAVY Cars that lexus makes..Whats the trick to getting the ride height & lower/raising evenly on a Air ride equipped car.
My car is running Ksports,Simple 4 valve set up (2 elec valves on front and same for the rear) as well as, is adjustable at the spindle like a normal Coliover.
It works great and Rides Perfect even on Full Stiff,..but I can't get the Ride height even,..as well as When lowering the rear (or front)for instance, the driverside will finally bottom out but the pass has some more room to go.granted the weight has ALOT to do with it I know that. But Damn.
can't see Raising the Crap out of 1 side to compensate the level but Is that the only way????
Would installing Flow Valves help Restrict air on the Pass side enough to matter??Maybe a Purge so that Those bags Don't get as much Pressure as the others??Any help would be great.

With your 4 valve setup, your not going to be able to level it if the car's weight is uneven. Your going to want to make sure that your coilovers are adjusted even left to right in length and if the bag height is adjustable you want them to be the same as well.
What we do with our bags on the coilovers, is set the bag height so that the coilover bottoms out at the same time that the bag does, and then set the length of the coilover so that when the car bottoms out, or what ever you want the layed out height to be and the bag is fully compressed.
Another option is to go to an 8 valve setup and an autoleveling system like the accuair and it will make sure it stays level. (you still want to adjust the shock lengths so they are even)
