Can you pass MOT's with your old struts and no ARB as I thought it was a requirement for the MOT to have an ARB?
Yes, I've had air since 2010 & last winter I've upgraded management and now upgraded the front struts along with ARBs (H&R), rear is on, front is due to go in, also fully polybushed, once the car is back and fully setup then I will do a comprehensive writeup.
yea positives you can get overspeed bumps when riding low lol, im on coilovers at the moment and is fairly stiff ride, i think ill just have to save my pennies and get it done at some point lol, did you fit it all yourself or put it into a garage. yea im a fair distance from manchester lol
E-level has sensors added to the struts
Yeah its alot of money, but then its alot of kit really. I got shiv at design4automotive to do mine in the end and hes been a top guy so far.
I can't comment on how it rides as i dont pick it up until saturday!
I won't disclose exactly how much mine is all i will say is speak to a few companys about different kits and what your after with the kit. i.e 2 compressors what tank, what sort of build your going for stealth/show etc and they will give you a better idea.
Places like
Design4
Plush
Low standard design
All stance
Theres alot of companys doing it at the minute so get emailing they are all good and get back to you with a free quote!
No Josh, it doesn't
What is the ride like? Is it as stiff as coilovers? What are the sensor for, if I had the money I'd have it when you locked the car it would drop the the floor too.
Im really interested in the air ride set up
Any updates guys
Sorry i didnt mean they were attatched to the struts, as if they were that would just be pointless haha. The sensors are to monitor the ride height as far as i know (correct me if im wrong nath) But i was told the sensors work as in if your at your low ride height and you pick some people up the back end will automatically raise up to compensate for the weight that has just got in and pushed the car down so you do not have to worry about manually airing it up to compensate.
With v2 you would have to create a preset for this and trial and error it until it was right. E level in my opinion is the best kit however its the most expensive, you pay for what you get.
Nath how many compressors are you runnning?
Picked my car up yesterday mate with the new struts and kept my anti roll bars, i can honestly say the ride with the bags has made hardly any difference to what it was before on H&R springs! Also the new struts are based on a coilover design with dampening and camber adjustment!
Think i have got that right im sure nath will come along and tell me i have it all wrong though
Thanks Josh so what is the full run down of the kit you have as I am wanting to keep the ARB on mine lo cheersSorry i didnt mean they were attatched to the struts, as if they were that would just be pointless haha.

Oh my god nath haven't seen that before! Need to up my compressor game!! How long does yours take to fill with them?
Cool thanks Josh I think I am gunna go stealth aswell all tho N8's picture above looks awesome hmm lolOh my god nath haven't seen that before! Need to up my compressor game!! How long does yours take to fill with them?
Johnny mine is airlift v2 management with the new performance struts, I opted for skinny 5galon tank. The benefit of more compressors is less make up time which means less of the compressor noise. Ill be adding some soon. If you speak to shiv at design 4 say I sent you and your looking for what I have or similar, ill pop some photos up of mine later with the air ride and the build as mine is just stealth
By the time you've clicked your fingers, the tank is full
