Best solution yet to airmatic?

Surprised I havent seen anyone else do this. This in theory seems like a great idea.

You loose shock control is the only downfall of this imo. But obviously you can adjust it manually.

Man if someone could take an airmatic shock set and modify them into coilovers with adjustable spring purch and these airbags I think we'd be onto a winner. Then add some sort of variable controller to the shock that would be the ultimate.

Try that just scroll up until you see a coilover with a red thing behind the spring.


He says the airmatic doesnt fault with the shocks all unplugged.. Im surprised. I guess the shock control cables only send a voltage to shock to change damping?

Did the BC coil overs and used star to program. No fault code and car drove awesome
