Help

I own a 1983 Seville (FWD)...

Here's my question:

I'd like to bag it-- nothing fancy, I just want it to go up and down (front and rear independently of course), side to side would be nice.

I am on a budget, but don't want some cheap-ass kit that will destroy my suspension or frame.

Any ideas? (This is a heavy car)

(I posted this in another topic because I didn't see the "Air Ride Systems" forum.)

I'm flexible... I just don't want to spend a ridiculous amount. I want something simple.

Real cheap would be manual penumatic buttons, full kit with that would be around $600 with 3 gallon tank and small 1.5cfm compressor. It would be hopeless though. If you get a better kit but find your suspension is too fast just slide some smaller airline inside the bigger line, this will slow it down and is easy. 3/8" DOT line slides snug into 1/2" line, 1/4" line slides snug into 3/8" line....
A kit around $1000 will be what you need....but make sure you dont get ripped off as there is some carzy companies out there.

$1000 sounds reasonable. I'd worry about spending just $600... sounds to good to be true.. again, this car weighs a lil over 5,000 lbs.

Any companies you recommend?

Dont be concerned about the weight of the car. With 2600# bags at all the corners it will lift to ride height at 70-80psi and full lift at 100psi so not even straining the bags.
I recomend my air suspension kits as I manufacture my own compressors, tanks, valves, bags, brackets............not sure if I can promote on this website though.
I am working on a freight deal to get the parts to your door at the right cost. No use getting a kit for the right price then the freight is too expensive!.

I'm real new to bags... so I'll need some quick go-overs.
Also, do you have references? No disrespect, I just like to know who I buy from. I'm sure you understand.

Here's a stupid question, I have automatic level ride on my car (I think it's for the rear wheels only). I'd like to be able to control it, is there a way?

Go to www.probag.com.au to see the parts I manufacture, this is one of my dealers sites. As you will see I am in Australia where we have a massive lowrider and minitruck scene and I only sell wholesale here, I am negotiating with some freight companies for good freight rates to NTH America.
To trick the height controller valves on the back of your car just put a bend in the arm that goes from the suspension to the valve, this will make the car think it is at ride height lower.

A full on 1/2" kit from me would be $1000 and it would have the best of the best, 3.5cfm comp, billet 1/2" bags, 350psi 1/2" valves, aluminum tank......gauges, 10 switchbox etc.... I just need to sort out a good freight rate to you as thats the expensive part.
