Default How to drive slammed without increasing bag pressure?

I'm using UAS aero sport bags, on tein cs v2. Damping at full and front bags at 85'ish psi. 1-2 finger gap between tire and fender. Over dips I am hitting the tires. I feel like 85psi should be good? I wanna roll low without shortening my bags At 100 psi my ride height is like stock height up front


Any tips??


Also...when going from 0 psi to 85 psi, my car is is way slammed, but when i go from 100psi to 85 psi my car is at the above mentioned height. Bag deformation when fully deflated? Or Sensor errors?

i think it is pretty normal if u go 0-85 and is not the desired height.

Mine does that too, i have to go to high setting then back down to medium setting to get to the right height....

i guess the only way to improve this is by getting the height-based sensors....

you have to let the car settle out to get "accurate" reading. so from 0-100psi itll settle to 85 psi.

you just gotta constantly play with out here n there. unless you get the accuair auto leaving kit lol..

me at 85 psi = 0 finger gap tucked :]

me at 100 psi = 2 finger gap.

Pressure will always equal additional height. The only way to get more pressure at a certain height with the parts you have now is to figure out a way to lower the mounting point of the bags. If you like the ride at 100psi, but it's an inch too high, you have to lower the mounting point of the bag by an inch.

If you are riding on the tein cs, just crank the spring perches down and that will lower the bag and give you a lower height at a higher pressure. I ride on KYBs with UAS and at 96 psi in the front and 88 in the rear my height is flush with the tire on 18s.

This is exactly why I went with coilovers. I love to roll slammed with agressive fitment and you just can't do that with air. Granted I am really lucky to have good roads here in Phx.

That is a large misconception, I've had both and doing a hydrid setup with coilovers and Air will allow you to roll low and dump even lower.

hey i might advise against the cs v2 and try to get them mounted to some stances, since they harder damping.

FYI I'm riding with the colors dumped on all four corners, AND I already took off the collars, so single collar on each coil

Yeah I realize that too...I think I h might have to come up with a custom RCA to lower the front suspension

Yeah so you know what I mean. But can you imagine the height based sensors freaking out? I dont know if I could trust that. Are you running UAS too? I called them and they said 85psi should be the same height anytime. He thentold me it might be a sensor problem? I dont know, I gotta alot of toying around to do.

Yes I am running on UAS as well. I think it is normal, unless you have the height based auto leveling. Mine is only air pressure based, so yeah. I can't go from 0 psi to Medium setting (80 PSI all-round) and have the desired height. I have to go up to High setting then back to Medium to get the correct medium height.
