The first bagged SVX
Some of you may remember my SVX, I had put some modified racelands for an STi on it to lower it quite a bit.
Here it was up until this past weekend:  Here it is now:     I had to put air bags on it. According to all the research I've done and other SVX enthusiasts I've talked to, this is the first and only SVX in the world on air suspension, which is pretty awesome. It is resting on Airlift's Autopilot V2 performance series for a 05-07 STi that I modified and installed. The ride is incredible, and having the adjustability of bags is perfect. There have been no body modifications at all except for rolled rear fenders, so the car may be able to go a little bit lower in the future. Right now it's also sitting on the tires in all 4 corners, so I may need smaller wheels.  Frame is about an inch off the ground.I will be at Reading on Saturday and probably Sunday for those that want to see it in person and learn more about how it works, and possibly get a test drive

Re: The first bagged SVX
I hope you will tell us more about the installation.
My 1986 GL10 had air suspension and it was reliable for the 120k miles I owned it. Nothing radical, just a pump up to 8' ground clearance. Beautiful car you have, hope you submit for the calendar next year. Gene [IMG]  [/IMG]

Re: The first bagged SVX
what brand and what model number is your air suspension? now that there is not a lot of options left... for us...
can you show us in a pic how high they go?: I would be afraid of a pot hole at that level. Last edited by kjoyes; 09-02-2014 at 10:06 PM.
