Cool I Want Air!!!!

Hey guys I am looking at investing in some air bags over the summer. Has anyone done this mod to there SC? I am hungry for info on this topic. Will a Supra air bag setup fit my SC? If so what years will fit a 92 SC? What is a good brand? Am I really looking at 3-5 grand? What kind of shops might install? (no specialists around here, as far as I know) How hard is it to install? Can a patient Uncle/Mechanic and myself do it? What types are there and what do they mean? I want to be able to lift front, back, left side, right side from an installed switchboard. Anyone have pics or opinions on what I should look for? Will it cost extra for safety features such as -lowest point it will drop so its still possible to drive, or will that be included in the kit? Thanx for anyinput!!!

i searched for this the other day and came up with this site that offered several kids of kits for a Supra and they topped out at like 3 grand... Do you think these will work and or if I should look into them?

There was someone on the board with airride suspension one thier soarer. I think it was soarer007.

I dont know if hes still on the board but here are some pics of his car. here is a post about the suspension a while ago. In the beginning its about mufflers, but if you scroll down towards the bottom there are the same pics i just posted.

Is Supra air bags interchangable with SC300 suspension? I was under the impression any supra suspension in pretty much bolt on for the SC300 is this right?

Im pretty sure that the supra suspension works, I have the Tein CS coilovers for the MKIV supra, so id assume that they would work the same with airbags.

You can try going to www.motorsportwarehouse.com and email them because that is soarer007's website. You can send him an email to ask him all about it.

Default yeppers, whats up ?

I have and had them on my car for a while, they where pretty tight.
Avg price for a complete kit was about $3800......
I have lots of pics of the install and all if you need them. I actually may
be selling my kit this Spring, ..Ive been SCCAing my car lately and
prefer my TIENs to them for now and I dont hardly show the car anymore....
thanks...Dayle

Hey dayle, nice write up on speedoptions.com. too bad those fools are bashing the auto. They probably dont know that a built toyota auto trans is an incredibly fast shift... anyways

Haha I like the liscense plate on the Skyline...

i bet you got some really weird looks from people who knew their cars... hahaha

Yeah......just a bunch of haters, whats new ! I love my auto, TransWerks in the
LA area (Brian) built the **** outta it for me, with a nice convertor. Let them try to shift fast
left handed !
When I drove the Skyline it was nuts, seriously....took it out a few times to our local
cruise spot, on the way out had a pack of cars surrounding the car down our strip....
We have a skyline drive in Tucson.....its in the foothills near my house so that worked
out great
License plate ? doh !! its universal in Az...haha

thanks....Dayle
