I'm considering putting an air suspension kit into my 2000 A4, looking specifically at an Autoloc Air Command system and Airbagit systems. Anyone heard of/seen or even done this type of system on a B5 before? haha, I said b5 b4... Anyways, I've read that new systems can rival a really good conventional suspension setup. Agree, disagree? Any help would be appreciated.

 

www.fourtitude.com <-- there are a couple guys on here that run bags.


From a performance aspect bags aren't very favorable... the weight of a compressor and tank negates some of the performance, even if the handling is the exact same as a coilover setup (which i doubt is easy to attain, if possible). If you want adjustable height and want to DUMP the car, go bags... if you're thinking about getting it for performance, just go with coilovers.

 

I'll give it a look over. Thanks for the link. I'm looking at both the flexibility and performance aspects. The ability to have presets for a soft, comfy highway cruise and sporty track runs is really attractive. I don't know of any other system I could put in that would give me the same options.

BTW, your sig quote is funny and totally true.

 

you should do it. ive been kickin the idea of the airbagit system around for awhile now. im probably gonna end up doin it. im runnin h&r's right now but i like the bag idea.

 

It's a bummer, I can't seem to find many kits/setups for B5 A4s. Anyone else know of companies that have really good bag systems?
