Re: Coilovers or bags

Whats the difference between 1/4" line and 3/8"?

Re: Coilovers or bags

3/8" line has a bigger diameter.

Never would have guessed! -_- .... I meant is there a benifit on using one over the other?

1/4 inch line is easier to run as it is smaller and more flexible. 3/8ths has a higher flow and lifts faster. I prefer 1/4.

Daniel is right. 3/8 is faster than 1/4. 3/8 isn't that hard to run as you just make any necessary hole bigger.

Thats alot of info Sean! and thanks to everyone else for chiming in. The car is getting parked over winter for sure cause I have to do my head gasket and chains. I am leaning alot towards bags but just wanted to make sure it's what I wanted. If you remove the front sway bar wont you have shitty handling...?

It won't actually be shittier handling because it'll have more tendency to oversteer, will roll more when you drive hard but it'll actually ride better when you're just cruising, if anything the car would be somewhat more fun to toss around at low speeds

1/4" is smaller and easier to route, has slower movements.

3/8" is larger, not really that much harder to route, and it gives you the ability to valve your air flow to control how slow it fills/airs out.

I've always used 3/8" and prefer it because it gives you the ability to move up quickly, which has proven handy in situations where something is on the road, mainly the middle.

I've had my front sway bar out for a few years now after running an Hotchkis under axle bar for a couple years, which was great until I decided I wanted to be really low. It was fun and didnt mind it but this year having some more power I am noticing the roll in the front end more and it's starting to bother me. It rides great on the highway though as bumps aren't transferred side to side.

Re: Coilovers or bags

Can you adjust the height while driving? Lets say your on deerfoot driving at 100km/h and you see a bump? Sorry for all the questions i just want to know everything before i actually do it haha

Yup. I have a preset on the V2 for that purpose; the 'Oh Sh*t' corner preset.

you mean your typical driving height

lawl.


Adrian next time you come out to a meet/icecream/whatever, ask one of the guys on air for a little tour. Seeing things in person will help things make more sense.

Alright! Im really exited to do this but wont until winter...

its better to plan early and research than just to buy and have no idea what your doing! i would be glad to help come install time

I'd agree with everything said above with one addition, with the autopilot system and the built in pressure sensors there is another set of problems. With 1/4" lines and slower movements it is easier to hit your preset height the first try rather then oscillate and overshoot your target and have it be unsuccessful. However the 1/4" lines lead to a higher air velocity past the pressure sensors, higher flow actually creates a low pressure pocket right in front of the pressure sensor and will cause the compressors to turn on sometimes when they don't need to because the rushing air pressure isn't equal to the overall pressure of the tank.

Overall i'd probably opt for a 3/8" manifold to get the lower air velocities and add flow restrictions on the bag side of the manifold towards the bags. Also i'd keep the line as short as possible between the tank and manifold so the pressure drop will be as small as possible.

It's the small little details which makes your airride system function the best it possibly can and be reliable without little hiccups
