Who manufactures the coilover and the airbag itself?
The info I have recieved so far is that the parts are manufactured by the same company that does performance parts fpr a lot os different vendors. The mount are billet 6061, and the casing are the same specs as other suspensions already on the market. I will check on the bags.

They are currently looking into what needs to be changed to make it work on AWD, but nothing at the moment.

Here is the recap of what I have so far ...


They have kits for the LS, GS 06+ , 2nd gen GS , IS300 , IS250/350 , and the SC

Exactly what comes with the kit when you order?
what comes with the kit is :

4 x coilover + camber plate
4 x air cylinder
1 x pack of the hose connector
1 x custom made box with air tank and compressor pre-mount in it ( as you see in the pic)
hoses you need for the car
wire kit for wire to bettery

Any need for a 3G GS for prototype? I've built 3 award winning vehicles in the last 4 years, complete with magazine features worldwide, online, TV, DVD etc.

How is the air ran to the bags with valves or thru the switchs like air runners? Will they sell just the suspension without the tank and compressor?

I posted this in the 2IS forum... thought I would post it here as well.

This is the kit Luis/Carson was talking about in the first link: http://www.skipper.co.jp/products/airmatic/index.html

It seems they also use Bold World.

Theres a video on the first page with an GS.

Also, this seems to be just like the Bold World kit, except it comes with everything needed and its cheaper!

This is looking to be a damn good deal.

+1 --- I will be buying a new suspension in the next few months so this would be perfect timing!

Carson-- Please send me a PM when you get all the info as I'm highly interested.

Just subscribe to this thread and whenever someone posts, you'll get a notification. Hopefully Carson will chime in soon with more information.

I tried a search on Google for the company AirForce Air/Coilover/Suspension, but came up with nothing.

Guys, the GB will be up today for this setup. I promise you it will be no where near the price you see for just the "cups kit" . It will be a great price for the ENTIRE kit. So please keep an eye on the vendors section today as it will be up.
