Air Bag Kits Going High Tech

Jan. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- One of the best features of air bag kits is your potential to upgrade the handling and ride of your traditional suspension vehicle from as little as 400 - 1000 dollars. And while some people might think this is a lot of money to spend on purchasing and installing an air bag kit, the reality is you're getting that 'new car feel' on the road for a heck of a lot cheaper than it would cost to go out and buy a brand new car off the lot.

If you've already made the decision to have an air bag kit installed, your next concern is making sure you're sourcing the best possible parts and kit to maintain your vehicle's integrity. Every now and then when you tell someone about your decision to go with an air bag kit they immediately start in on their horror stories about all the problems they had, how their car was never the same and how much they regret it.

Usually when people have had problems when they've made the switch from traditional suspension to air suspension you can bet your bottom dollar they have tried to do it on the cheap and not taken the time and effort to shop around and find the best air bag kits for their individual set up, or they've tried to do the install themselves or enlisted the help of a reluctant family member or friend who is less than qualified to do the job.

Because your new air suspension set-up is just a modification of the traditional system, changing how your car performs and feels on the road really is just a case of purchasing an air bag kit and having it installed. So now instead of the metal spring mechanism, your air bag kit will come with strong rubber bags that act as air containers. These air bags connect to an air compressor and an air reservoir. Your compressor will inflate and deflate the bags, which is how the car gets raised and lowered.

Plus of course with the move to everything being high tech these days, it was only a matter of time before air bag kits followed the trend. An example of how air suspension has moved with the times is how it used to be if you wanted an air bag kit you also had to have to have a nest of wires running through your car and that doesn't look good to anyone.

Now days these systems come with a control unit that's located inside the car to give the driver complete control over the system. You can even get a wireless remote which means you can activate and control the stance when you're in the car or outside your vehicle. One of the most visually impressive features of your air bag kit is your ability to have your car 'perform' and you can train your car to do tricks at the mere flip of a switch.

Without air suspension, even if your car has been equipped with a lowered sporty suspension - it's only ever going to have a single stance setting. And with a coilovers set up you still have to crawl on the ground when you want to raise or lower your vehicle. It's really a case of getting what you pay for with air bag kits. With the more complex and expensive systems, you'll have all the controls at the touch of a button to customize your ride exactly the way you like it. http://www.airsuspension.com/
