Supporting mods for Airlift?

MaoMeow305 · 10-01-2020, 01:05 PM

Hello

Been searching for a while but have not been able to find a concrete answer on this.

I am going with air suspension Airlift 3P, and would like to know if I will need camber arms, toe bolts, or any other supporting mod, or if I can keep all of these other components stock? None of the videos I've seen talk about this and I haven't been able to find a thread where this is discussed.

I had a 350z previously, and was lowered on springs, and I broke my front bumper 4 or 5 times in a 10 year span, and that cost me over $3k in repairs, so a static drop is something I'd rather avoid if ultimately I might end up spending the same amount as the airlift kit on fixing my bumper, which is the amuse bumper and it's already lower than stock.

As for my driving style, my Z is a weekend car that is garaged most of the days and only sees a few dozen miles a month. I have no plans of tracking the car or driving hard.

Thanks for all the help

yes

airlift doesn't mean you don't need an alignment

SPL catalog is the answer

you're already dropping several G's for the airlift, don't cheap out now

Yeah not trying to cheap out, I'm asking because I'm not sure if I need it and if I do, i'd like to know what exactly I need. I don't know much about suspension, and when I got the camber kit for my 350z it was almost 10 years ago and i went with what the shop recommended.

So looking for input from people with airlift to know what other parts I should get before I start the install

FUCA, rear camber arm, rear traction arm, rear toe arm, lockout kit

Call SPLparts if you are not sure

Bringing the thread back... wondering if you had the 3p system installed and if so what else? And how is it going so far? Will be doing the same in a week .
