Default Air suspension installed

Finally got around to getting the suspension installed. Loving the ride so far. Can still go a bit lower but this is good enough for now til my wheels come in. Crappy phone pics for now...

That looks great, which suspension is it, where did you have it done?

The trunk set up right now. Everything is in the spare tire compartment with nothing on top. Gonna redo it when I finalize the whole trunk the way I want after everything is in.

looks like it all fits nicely inside the spare tire area. did other stuff have to be removed/moved around to make it all fit?

SoCal suspension did the install. Cost depends on what set up you have and how you want it. Mine was altogether around 1500 since they're not done with my trunk set up yet

Just the spare and styrofoam box like thing down there that takes up most the space

Hello!

I like this!

I am looking for air suspension for my CT 200h 2011.
This is the first time I found it!

Could You please tell me what parts of air suspension did you use?
And may be you could tell me where I can buy it and how much it costs?

Sorry for my english.
Waiting for response asap!

Thanks for giving me a reference point OP (cost wise). I've always wondered how much air suspension costs, and now knowing it's 1.5k, I might give this a chance in the future. I will be following you moving forward, so please give us updates regarding maintenance and longevity of your setup.

How long do you think your setup will last for? 5 years? 10 years?

I'm pretty sure he meant install costs of 1500. Accuair elevel with 5 gallon tank, 1 viair compressor and a touch controller are going to set you back around 2100.00 before shipping. Then the air struts will run you close to the same amount. Last car I bagged was with airlift v2 for the management for a friend. That was about 3700.00 for all the needed parts.


As for longevity id say its about on par with how long good coilovers last. There's 3 years on his with winter driving and all is still as well as day 1 of install.
