Can anyone advise on how suitable bagyard airride is for the MK1?

Does anyone have any air suspension advice for the mk1?

Thanks

not many air ride folk on here - Calvert owns the white mk1 that was on air a couple of years ago at e38/in the mags but pretty sure it was removed eventually.

worth checking the various trader threads over on edition for more insight.

Ive heard good things about Havair

As GTXtra said Calverts Mk1 used to have bagyards back in its TUK customs days but now its back to static.

Why are you looking at air ride? sick of banging your sump?

Don't know if it's what you're looking for but one of the suspension companies (fk I think) do a set up that can raise itself 45mm for going over bumps. Saw it on their Porsche at ultimate dubs a few years ago

I think its KW and they cost an arm and a leg :(

There is "static +" they are small bags that replace the helper springs on your coilovers.. Pretty much like the KW but much cheaper.

There have been many happy Static + users

The only down side is they hinder how low your car can go.. If you still have your helper springs in and are happy with how low you are I think its a good solution to your problem.
