How low does our air suspension actually go, you ask? I recently burned the stock H pipe on our company Mustang into my Dad's lawn, luckily he is a car guy and we had a good laugh. Do not try this at home, I am a trained professional and very thankful I did not burn the car down. :omfg:

Is it just me or our exhaust pipings are naturally lower than the chassis? I mean is it really not tucked in?

DANG you are lucky LOL. With it being so low, would this suspension be a no go for someone with on3 turbo piping?

You wouldn't drive it slammed. You will have your "ride height" which you will be using when you drive. Performance wise it's way better than an entry level coilover. Trust me, I've been there done that. :) This guys are serious about their products. They don't mess around.

ok, I knew the ride height shouldn't be a problem. My question is, when your parked and "fully laid out" would it set down so low that it might crush the piping that runs under the a arms with the on3 turbo piping?

Dude, that picture would confuse SO many people if you just posted it on FB or something and asked, "What made this?" Of course, car people would figure it out immediately, but most would be soooo cornfuzzeled.

Crop circles. Alien life does exist and it drives a slammed Mustang.

Fuckin epic! LOL!

Typically, there is a low height limiter setting on these types of systems. Once you set it while carefully observing your undercarriage, it's set and you'll never hurt anything. Unless you park on uneven surfaces. But that would be the lack of awareness on the drivers part, not the product.

Thanks Frank, this is what I was looking for. I should have posed my ? differently.






Air ride and on3s hotside will not play well
I didn't even consider the piping actually ruining the bags... although that down pipe on that WRX in their video looks pretty close to the bag.

Well there is my next question:thumbup:


Is anyone running this system with a turbo kit on a mustang? if so what turbo kit?

Exactly what VTXFrank said, you can limit how low you actually want the car to go. Think about it this way, with our system you would no longer have to worry about scraping your turbo piping on every speed bump or steep driveway. :thumb:

yeah that makes sense. But what about the problem that Matt posed, would the hot side turbo piping effect the bag?
I mean I know if its right against it it will surely melt a hole in the bag. But where would the bag reside in relation to say the On3 turbo piping?

As long as there is about 6 inches between the bag and the hot side you should be ok. We also offer heat shields as well to help deflect some of the heat.

Ok Thanks

Would there be 6 inches between the piping and the bag Matt?

Easily. But when you dump the suspension you will probably destroy the piping that runs through the control arms.

Well you just answered the next question I had. Is there a turbo kit out there that doesn't run any piping through/around the control arms to where this suspension would work?


sorry for all the questions guys, I am just curious if this suspension with a turbo would be feasible. Without having some expensive custom turbo kit made.

^^Not so sure about the turbo kit because I'm supercharged. You can probably ask a reputable shop there in your area and plan out to reroute the pipes that will hit. Also, make sure it will really hit.

I doubt there are any shops in my area that have dealt much with the on3 style kit.
If we had a pic of how the piping runs through the control arms and then a pic of the control arms on a bagged car with the bags dumped, then we could compare the two and at least get a good idea:thumbup:


Jeremy I am sorry I turned your cool picture thread into a "tech question" thread:beer:
