Question Air Force Air Suspension Group Buy Interest?!

Hello everyone, it's been awhile since we've done a group buy and with the release of some new air suspension setups, we're excited to post this one up if there's enough interest.


Brand: Air Force Suspension
Type: Air Cups built on Coilover Shock Body

Warranty: 1 Year from Manufacturing Defects
Availability: Special order basis, normally 7-10 days to build. Shipping can be either by boat (8-10 weeks) or by air (4-6 weeks).

Cliff's Notes on Air Force systems:
These systems are meant to include everything to get you started. Experienced users who have had air ride before can easily modify the kit to suit their needs. Everything is sold together and are not sold in pieces (ie. Cups only). They fully adjustable coilovers with 36 way dampening.

Air Cups (Air Tank) – 2 Versions available – VIP or Deluxe

VIP series – Retails $2,995 - Lets you raise & lower your vehicle from inside the car via paddle switches.
Air Controls = All 4 corners at once.

Deluxe series – Retails $3,245 - Lets you raise & lower your vehicle from inside the car via switchbox or outside via remote.
Air Controls = Front & Rear independently from each other.

We are receiving more information every few days from Air Force regarding these kits, so if we are missing anything you'd like to know, just ask and we'll answer as soon as we hear more from Air Force.

Special pricing can determined if 5-10 people are interested (this is posted in the GS & IS sections as well)

Member "ACleanSC4" has this on his car as well as a few others in Australia. Nothing but great feedback so far!

Please post/PM/email any questions to us and we'll do our best to answer!

GB pricing can be had as long as we have 5-10 people on board each time. I'm hoping to have it around the mid $2,000's shipped if enough people are in. Pricing is still up in the air until I can get some interested people on the list.

Pictures added! Sorry for the blurriness.

Both kits use a 5gallon tank with 1/4" air line. What you see is what you get, a fully plug & play kit.

Are the coilovers available without the compressors/tanks?

The VIP series kit would be perfect for those who need to lift their cars to enter steep driveways or speedbumps. Still maintains excellent ride quality as well!

Had a lot of questions about the kit, they are essentially coilovers. You can adjust the height of your vehicle wherever you like. From there, the air cups will lift you approx. 3" to clear your bumper scraping obstacles, then you release the air to return back to your "normal" ride height.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Unfortunately everything is sold together, it would make it easiest for most who will have this as their "first" air kit.

If you watch the video, the height is set above the tire. On each coilover, there's plenty of thread to go lower, so it's safe to say it can probably tuck 4 corners. Granted you don't have any tire/fender hitting issues

I'll try to get some more pictures of the tire/fender, coilover/thread area so you can see how much lower it can go.

Here's a picture of the 1st setup they released in this greenish color. You can see that the shock body can be lowered as well, so it gives you more range of motion on the coilover body.

Do they sell the cups without the coilovers to fit other coilovers like some other brand does? If so I would be interested in that.

I'll have to double check again Scott, but the last time I checked with their first kit, the cups were not compatible with other coilovers.

If they could provide me some dimensional data on the cups I could do my own research and see if I can make them work.

With group buy pricing, I beg to differ on the pricing & components.

Again, this is not an Air Bag system. Nor will you get the same coilover type functionality with the Air Assisted airbag systems.

If you like an air bag system, we are more than happy to run a group buy for Universal Air Suspension setups. But let's leave that to another thread please. Or you can PM me for more info.
