Don't know about the quality though.

If you have any experience about these feel free to tell

Edit: there seems to be also air-suspension for some Mitsu models

Apparently they are the same as ksport-coilovers...
Reading fluently from next thread, sorry.

Oooooh! Air suspension!! I think that's just the ticket for me! :Afro:

I wonder how much an Air suspension kit is?

[Joikale]

There was some group buy in Finland and prices were from Basic 1950,9€, Deluxe 2307,9€, Professional 2727,9€. Don't know any pricing in UK.

Edit: And I don't know how air suspension would last in local climate... If temp goes below -30 in Celsius, then how would those last

[Kieran]

Bloody hell that's expensive!! I could import from the States cheaper than that!!

There seem to be a number of people who put out similar offerings.

The thing to keep in mind is that these are mass-produced to a generic specification. To overcome this, they usually let you choose your spring rate and you get 32way damper adjustment. You wont need all 32 settings, just find the ones that suit the car and spring rate.

You need to get the correct spring rate (I found 12kg front 8kg rear good) and then work out what damper settings will provide what you want.

There have been stories going around that they are low quality and blow the top hats. I suspect however that this is due to people getting spring rates that are too soft and then putting the damper rate right up. This of course means that the majority of the energy from a bump is transmitted through the piston shaft straight into the centre of the top hat. A recipe for destroying them as well as resulting in a damn uncomfortable ride.

I propably get used to the "new" car first. Wouln't do anything with coils in winter anyway.
