I got my NX bagged through a referral from my brother at DMC Fabrications. That guy Richie has got some skills. Since the NX is likely to be a family car, I still needed it to be practical. He was able to squeeze the setup so as to save the spare tire and cargo space. He used bags from Universal Air so that the stock struts can be used. Air management through E-Level which maintains that the height on each corner is correct based on the load of the car. The controller allows for 3 preset levels and the option to automatically be raised to driving height when the car is started. The ride is similar to stock. I'm just now dying to buy rims now that will tuck under the fender. Sorry about the glare from the sun in the pics.
Dumb Questions:
1) Any improvement in ride and handling?
2) Can you possibly fab the system for a higher option, so more ground clearance?
Thanks! Ride is pretty much the same since it's using the stock struts. Instead of using springs, it's just bags. No option for dampening. With the car lowered, the center of gravity is lower as well and makes it a little more quick to corner. Then again, it's a suv. I only did it for aesthetics. I'm pretty sure you could do a system to allow for a raised option if you added a raising kit then the bags.

That is clean. Any pics of the controller up front? Is your smartphone compatible? Also off topic but what did you use to chrome-delete? Love the look!
The guy who installed my suspension put the controller under the mirror thing in case I didn't want it seen. Yes it's smartphone compatible, but I needed to add another part to allow for that function called i-level by accuair. the last pic is a screenshot from my phone. I think accuair went out of business because of the covid thing, but I'm sure you could find it somewhere. The shop that installed my body kit wrapped the chrome in gloss black wrap.
oh nice you still have it after all these years, still no wheels yet?
I am looking to get into a NX soon and undecided if I go air suspension or coilovers.
That is pretty neat, I use the space under the trunk for some goodies as well. I did a coil rite airbag setup, just in the rear, but for the opposite reason. I need to raise up the rear of the car when towing the camper. Would be nice to have an automatic controller though, something I will have to look into in the future.
