my soarer has the air bag suspension and im wanting to hook up a new compressor air lines and solinoids which i can figure out how to do my self. but the question I have is, are the air bags going to hold together? and what psi rating are they and how much travel do they have? I am not oging to have them moving very fast just faster then factory. I dont see why they shouldnt hold up for a while and I know one day they are going to leak and when they do ill just put all aftermarket bags in. People do it to the old school toyota crowns and glants and a few others so i dont see why not.

and has anyone seen or done it before

Well Since yours is a 1991 model they would start to be showing signs of tiredness as with most of this age.

How many kilometers has your soarer traveled according to the dash? Usually that gives you an idea of what kinda of life they have left. If your not far from 200k Id be a little worried personally.

LOL my soarer has done nearly 220k. I might just go ahead and do it and see what happens. I thought about the height controller thing but i can do it with a new compressor and valves for almost the same price but it will go up and down faster. Switch for the B*tches

Wow Kyle you have done extremely well. Is this something you could write a tutorial on showing parts list, products and pictures for us wannabe-do-it-yourselfers who would only muck it up without direction.
