I was looking to get some rear spring airbags installed but I can't find anyone who just sells that airbags themselves. Does anyone know where I can get them???
Answered my own question. There is a company called Air Lift that makes a set of air bags for our cars. The system is called the Air lift 1000 and can be bought at Summit Racing for around $65. The best way is to do a search on yahoo for "Air Lift 1000" and use their site for applications. The summit "applications" table is a little off.
Pardon a perhaps dumb question, but I've always wondered with airbags, how does one inflate/deflate them? Do you attach a little hose/squeezebulb to them and pump away or what? Does you leave them inflated the whole time, or just when drag racing?
The airbags are used to adjust the spring rate. To inflate/deflate there is a hose/tube that you can run to a specific location in your car. They have an electric pump that you can install to regulate the pressure from inside the car. For my purposes I will run them inflated on the street and most likely deflate them while drag racing. If I'm bottoming out on launch I'll make some adjustments.
Thanks...that's good info. I thought though that one puts an airbag in only one of the rear springs, to neutralize the lifting of the axle on one side (or something like that) due to the torque; isn't it a drag racing thing? Or am I thinking of something else?
TruBlu01 is correct. Typically you only need one but the Kit I bought comes with two. Most of the drag racing spring kits (like eibach) come with the airbag. My Moroso's did not.
Oh, and UPR does NOT sell airbags nor have they ever. I contacted Jerry at UPR who was most helpful and he gave me that bit of information.
