It is an argument that is as old as time. Or at least as old as air suspension. Previously we did a few videos on why one of our guys switched to static, and why you should buy a set of coilovers. Now it is time for the 5 reasons why you should run air suspension on your car. Today Alex sits down and goes over the top reasons why you should make the switch.
We are offering AS LOW AS 0% Financing with Affirm throughout the month of January!

You guys have to make an Air suspension video about the long term reliability and maintenance required for these types of set ups, No one on CZcams has covered that. Please Guys! Thanks!
Great suggestion! I am sure you guys would love a video on that! Stay tuned lets see what we can whip up! 👀🙏🏼
@@FitmentIndustries Definitely want to see this, make it happen!
Also which brands are more reliable. So beginners will think twice before going with budget setups and save up for the good stuff.
I'm especially interested about reliability in winter months, specifically places with snow...
Up
I’ve been saying this for I don’t know how long. Air lift performance. Get with it or get left behind. Amazing ride. Track it ,daily it or show it. All in 1 set up.
How soft can the ride be, i want that soft floaty feel in my car
That’s the way to go
A big convenience is also when adjusting ride height, you may always want to change it later. Or change your mind a couple times in the same day. Instead of having to raise you car, take off all the wheels, adjust the coilovers, measure all of them put the wheels back on. Lower your car and see if it's right you can just press a button and raise or lower your car in a second. So much time saved.

5 reasons why fi should give me money for bags
Interesting... 👀🧀
I run air suspension on my ‘16 Accord sedan and it’s very enjoyable but one thing I wish it actually had would be, being able to set the dampening for each ride level individually in stead of having to do it manually for when you’re at the specific ride height.. I run a 3H kit and when I have a total of 4 people in my car and it adjusts for the extra weight, the ride becomes more bouncy and shitty.. I still enjoy it when it’s just me and only another person then I can get away with it..
1:33 YOU SLIPPED UP 👀😹
6:30 ish too
6:30 he full on said it!
CoffeBlack he said at the end of the long day lol
Young Sperm “and it sounds cheesy because at the end of the day it kind is” 6:34 !! BET!
@@YoungSperm that was the joke fam
Replaced "at the end of the day" with "ultimately" or "over time"
Alex has one of the best sense of humors 🤙🏽😂 Air Suspension it is !
I run Hydraulics on my rides first setup was a 2 pump CCE street setup then fell in love with hydraulics went bigger with the 1/2 inch port FatBoy setup then when 1 inch port setups came along I bought a Black Magic Hydraulics setup #11 gears it throws the 6000 lbs car around like a rag doll but it is fun lol!
I need to know how air suspension is going to be in the long run. Coilovers are less complicated by far. If something is wrong with your bag set up you gotta find that leak and that doesn’t sound fun
Love the videos alex
Now that I’m bagged I should’ve did this a long time ago! best thing I’ve ever done
going air ASAP! i can't deal with speed bumps and not being able to go up driveways or wrecking my lip going down steep driveways. "Yes i JDM the shit out of the driveways."
Coils are great for mild lowering and/or Track use. Not for daily slammed driving in socal. Who ever says otherwise isn't low enough or is 16 and has a young back.
I'm unsubscribing if Alex stops saying "at the end of the day", because, at the end of the day, I subbed because I like how Alex explained this stuff in his own way
How do you feel about airlift universal kits and welding?
well, i completely forgot to factor in a tank setup for my iroc. i planned on putting subs in the back but, perhaps i can remove the back seats and put the subs there, with the air tanks in the trunk...but then again 3rd gen camaros have crazy trunk space anyway. who knows? ill show you when i get it done :D
Does air performance fit on any model vehicle ? I have a 2013 Dodge Avenger SE I can’t find anyone that has put air ride in these cars , is it possible???
I really want to put a 4th gen Mitsubishi Eclipse on air and I was wondering could you daily a car on air plz someone help me
What wheels are on the purple Volkswagen in reason 5?
Alex stumbles into a sauna to ramble about bags with air in them
Coming to your local theaters in the following weeks
I must be the only one watching who doesn't like very low cars
You're not alone
2:11 where did that come from lol 😂
I would totally do air bags anyday when it's just for aesthetics plus it's cool like it's pleasing to air out lol
Bags were the best investment especially after going wide body lmfaoo. Also yeah trunk setups are fun but shops in SoFlo ask for like $800+ for hardlines and those show car setups
Alex i need help i want to do someing different a 99 park ave what concave rims would go well with the air lift please help i like your input on this please it would mean alot to me
Shoot us an email Brad at wheels@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you get set up with a sick set of wheels! 🙌🔥
That clip at 4:47 is mine and Christian NGOs trunk set up!!

I'm def interested in getting air suspensions. I have a 2014 Sentra and I know its gonna look sexy when its slammed to the ground. maybe you guys can help me out
Still. Driving static slammed car is fun. I do it every weekend. The feeling in friday when you just got from work and sit in your 2nd car and scrape the hell out of it driving it from your driveway. It feels so amazing. It is stupid it is wack. But it looks cool and is a fun thing to drive.
You can do the same on air... infact the guys that made dragging a vehicle down the road cool are the minitruck guys on air.
Craig Doughty i know. But its not the same thing. Driving static feels different. Both are great and belong to the same genre. Still they belong to different sub-genres.
Fitment industries I have a jag 2008 with air suspension but I dont have the up-down control, can it be fitted ?
I believe so but you would need the controller!
@@FitmentIndustries any recommendation would be much appreciated since i have near zero experience in this :)

Can you do a 5 reasons for rayverne hydraulics
Just heard At the end of the day by 6:34 or 36 😂😂✌️
At the end of the day I'm still waiting on the 90s era fitment video. At the end of the day. I still wonder what a 91 Sonoma would look like in the fitment industries gallery 🤔
What about the old school people that still use hydraulics? How do those stack up against air ride?
Swaggy Cactus They really don't unless your into those bounce conditions. Even then I think bags can now compete with them. Plus hydraulics needs pumps lines and batteries. that is all super heavy and just pain in the ass
What is the paint code for that purple Audi 😍
BUT At the end of the day, Fitment Industries doesn’t offer air suspension for Toyota Siennas or Honda Odysseys. BTW thanks for this video!
I have bags but I’m still trying to figure out why it’s such a harsh ride🤨… making me wanna go back to stock springs☹️
My question is, will they work or how they handling during winter? Cuz from where i live is kind of - 0⬇
We are located in Wisconsin so we get it lol. The winter time can really beat up on your suspension kit tottally your call but def a chance you could be taking!
Can you put Air Suspension on a car with Manuel Transmission?
Static for life ⚡⚡⚡⚡
At the end of the day you guys should do a segment of your fan cars and how you would mod them. I for one would like to know how you would mod my 2006 Pontiac GTO 😎
Interesting...! 👀😂
Mod #1: Throw it in the trash.
Cams, headers, catback, some wide wheels that aren’t really flashy but look clean, maybe something in black and
At the end of the day, you still said "at the end of the day."
Cheers!! 🍻😂
*At the end of the day*
My S4 B6 is static and my A6 C6 avant is bagged. If you drive spirited and like making your car faster go static. If previous statement need not apply... then bag it.
A lot of the best air suspension options are very comparable in terms of handling performance. You can have an all-in-one set up with air suspension and it would perform just as well as a coilover setup.
GustSergeant That is true and I agree about 80% but.... coilovers are much more robust. If your tracking a car you can beat on coils all day. Bags are cool, more likely to malfunction though.
@@Shabec2982 that I can agree with, if you are simply using your vehicle as a weekend / track setup, then coilovers would make much more sense in terms of simplicity and ease of repair. But air ride certainly doesn't sag in performance anymore (good pun) in regular or spirited driving scenarios.
I’ve been tryin to convince wifey to let me bag my car...I think this vid might be the answer 🙌🏽
Good luck solider! 👀😂
Yea what he said 👍🏿
Can you do a video about drifz
Air suspension is just too damn expensive lol my car isn’t even worth 3,500
There are cheaper options
Moe x my budget rn is 1,500
Go on Google and look u air suspension. Btw they are the same. People just buy air lift perfromance and accuAir Alot because they have been around for a long time. But look on aftermarket website and u might find one in ur price range. It will probly be universal.
Moe x would rather get a really nice set of coilovers then some cheap air suspension
@@tastysx5233 it's all up 2 u
At the end of the day, Alex, you be you. Say it all you want to and all you need to.
Nice
I couldn't agree with you more
Ramen and Car Parts...all we need.
Can bags be reversed?
So is it worth it to put on a scion frs
Y not m8
I mean I see a fair amount of people doing it!
You guys should do a this or that on that LS swapped Benz 😂
I touch the notification and then get an ad like hmm???
Hey. So i have a class in High School and we are gonna take apart small engines and metal work. So one of our projects is making our custom rims for a key chain but idk what rims i should make. I wanna know what yall would do but like a vauge idea. Thanks Guys (Edit: corrected spelling errors.)
Something like a BBS RS!
@@FitmentIndustries thanks guys. (Thats a lot of spokes😂😐)
All about the static life
I would very much like to go with coilovers, but make them functional and tuned to my specific car instead of just slamming it.
⚡️
Robert Reyes
Static life is shit
If Fitment Industries can find me air struts that fit my 2018 Honda Civic touring I’ll buy it right now
Let's see what we can do for you! Shoot us an email at wheels@fitmenindustries.com and we can take a look at that for you!
At the end of the day is it worth it?
(probably yes)
If only there was a website that helped us get the best deals on tires/wheels/suspension 🤔🤔🤔
Agree
You guys made this too easy for me. 😅👀 bit.ly/2LGlhi8
Sour soul patch kids. 😊 Er sour patch kids. Hah. I love ramen 🍜 0:26
I love the Mercedes in the thumbnail. I've seen pics of it, and it's ls-swapped, shits fire. Anyone got the @ tho?
Are air suspension realiable for daily driving??
Absolutely!
You know you wanna say it Alex. . . . 😂😂😂
Changed from "at the end of the day" to "ultimately". At the end of the day, this is ultimately an acceptable substitution.
Can suspension work without a tank?
Tank is needed!
@@FitmentIndustries Cause I checked air lift perfromance for an airlift system for my '00 civic and they had it (shockingly), but the tank and compressor didn't cause wit the setup
i like when you say "at the end of the day"
Bags all day ❤
Bruh. Need advice. Cls Mercedes with factory air ride. Want manual control over everything, not by Mercedes computer. Can I just get a new controller? Or controller and valves?
Prease help. Gonna stare at my lhone.... hope u respond.
To override the Mercedes computer system would be madness! You can do lowering links to give yourself a stronger drop, But that would be about the extent of it!
@@FitmentIndustries damn. Ty. I will go for it.
The only question is does it works as an actual suspension?
How about air cup kits?
Not a bad option!
Besides air suspension being easier for the daily user, and the occasional track junkie, is it really worth spending 2-4x for a set of coils that are adjustable and you can dial in, but takes time. You can get the air cups to go over speed bumps but I’m not sure how the air cups over coils will affect performance. There is also the risk of multiple things going bad (lines, fittings, rubbing the bag itself etc) where as a coil there aren’t many things that will break on you beside the strut itself. Coils are also cheaper to fix/repair in general, however lines and fittings are extremely affordable. That’s just my two cents, but feel free to argue against my point.
Air Cups don't affeckt the Performance of Coilover Suspension.
Because you allways drive in the low setting and uses the cups only for obstacals.
If you want a system that you can use in a high and Low setting i would go with the KW HLS (Hydraulik Lift System)
But it can lift your Car only about 2 inches (50mm)
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Of course the German guy suggested KW lol I’d just get bags at that price
@@relate97 i would recomend also another Company but KW is the only one that i know who sells a Hydraulik system.
Love the advise, Greetings from the states 🇺🇸
True, coils are low cost in changing/repair. But you will break a lot more on your car. Havr a ride here in Belgium, you will also be fast to go get some airride. I've had coils on different cars, and my opinion "Never Again". A lot broken on the car. After buying a good set of airride, and quality install, i just never wanted coils again. If you buy a set like Airlift or Bilstein Airride, you will never have problems. But i respect the bagged and static drivers 👌👌
well didnt find what i was looking for. is air suspension more luxurious and comftorable then say a quality bilstein spring and strut suspension not a coil over. personally i dont care for the low ride hight im just interrested in a luxurious ride
At the beginning of tomorrow, any mod that makes my car slower doesn't go on the car
Nah B, air cups are the way to go. IMO slammed cars look like shit. If you say you need bags because you need to get up your driveway, you have 3 options: A) Aircups, B) Aircups, or C) Aircups
6:35 Hey! I caught that one!
2:36 somebody tell me what those wheels are!
Taking a peek currently.. 👀🙏🏼
all i heard is you look good, and go up and down... that's basically all the pros..
but when are you really engoying your car ? .... when you're thrashing it in the backroads, cornering hard you WANT to have a good suspension setup.
if you have a 150hp car or less i'd say go for it but if more you need that stability... because ultimatly YOU should be enjoying your car not having to compromise practicality to look cool in a parking lot ... that's just MY opinion, but after watching this video and multiple others im heading towards coilovers.
Can I get a sponsor for my car or something? Lol you just made new want bags that much more.
Sadly we do not offer sponsorships as we are not yet a big enough company!! 😖
@@FitmentIndustries ok thanks. You know of any companies that do offer sponsorships?
@@MaalyJay Just put yourself out there and ask, portray what you are trying to do , and how you think your use of the product will be beneficial for advertising. I have seen some ridiculous sponsorship. worst they can say is sorry not interested. I traded some window space for a sticker on some air bags just as a "why the hell not moment".
@@AutomotiveAtropine that makes perfect sense. I appreciate that. Thanks for your advice. I will definitely be doing that.
what do y’all think about putting bags on 20’s 🤔
I'm early this time; I don't have anything clever prepared to say. Hi?
ELLO! 😂👀
A response 😨
Ride quality
Gotta secure the bag, know what am saying.
Anyone else live where there is snow on the roads 4-5 months of the year and thus making a lowered car undriveable? I kinda NEED bags or else I would go coils on my daily.
Me! Me! I live in that type of area 😂 but I have a secondary car for daily drive 😊
I live in Canada and I daily drive year round on coils. Right before the winter I raise the coils up and put covers on them. Once spring comes around lower them back down
Bags and snow won’t mix good without having to do maintenance on them, bought a used set from someone in new York and man let me tell you lol, that show and salt corrodes nuts and bolts and makes for an unpleasant ride experience, I’m slowly replacing stuff and eventually I’ll end up with basically new bags
Necrodead Excuses, I’ve always driven a static slammed daily and we get tons of snow every year. It’s still functional when it snows because it doubles as a plow :D
I live in similar conditions. I drive my car slammed year round. Helps melt the snow on my parking spot
6:35....oops but we love ya Alex
At the end of the day Alex is just gonna say "At the end of the day" anyway and that's ok😘 Alex is my porsche daddy
the end of the day is important but what about the morning after. I think That is more important bro. #endoftheday
