A friend of mine and I detailed the car yesterday, here's the result:
Do you have anything at a right angle?
Phil those pics look great! I just bought Air Lift bags yesterday with Accuair management for my GT500. Looks like the same setup as you minus the bags. Hoping to install it this Saturday.
I'm interested in this for my 01 cobra I'd like to be able to adjust ride height without using a wrench and also change setups from drag to roadracing. Interested in the weight and cost of a setup? Also, is it loud to raise and lower the suspension?
I hate to help revive the dead...
but your post is from 2011.
how has the system held up.
How many miles since the install.
what kind of maintenance is needed.
is the car driven all year round.
has it created more strain on the alternator.
Lastly would you do it again knowing what you know
I uninstalled the air suspension this past spring and sold it to another Termi owner. I also sold the car in late spring. The only issue I had was a broken ride height sensor, because of the amateur installation. With a little more experience, we would have made the pushrods longer on the rear sensors and they would have been within their proper range of travel. It was on the car for 3.5 years, driven 8 months a year. Winter is too serious up here to drive a 500hp convertible.
Maintenance is minor, I just took out the tank once a year to drain the water out of it (humidity in the air condenses and collects in the air tank). If your install was done properly, there shouldn't be any other issues. A visual inspection of components never hurts.
Never noticed any issue with the alternator, but I don't blast the stereo all the time with the AC on and the air compressors running.
Would I do it again? For me it was a phase. I wanted to try it and I did. It looks ****ing awesome, the ride is great, and there is no loss in performance associated with the gain in comfort and versatility. There weren't a million bagged Mustangs four years ago, and there still aren't now. While I do now have another car that would look dope bagged, I've been there and done that. However, I would certainly not discourage anyone from following in my footsteps, nor would I ever recommend against it.

Sorry to resurrect the thread but if you find a ride height that you like and want to just leave it at that height all the time can you just leave it at that height or do you have to air it out when you park? I'd go bags just to be able to raise it to go over speed bumps and steep driveways
