Does the "air ride" ride stiff enough?
 
Posted by bookoo (Member # 6304) on :
 
i had "air ride" on my fox before and i liked it. it still felt pretty stiff not like road race springs or anything, but depending on what shocks u use i think its close. just keep ur swaybars on cause i dont think youll like it without them. i would be able to keep up with everybody in the corners and then make the top of the rims disappear when i parked.

Everything will prolly work like bags, valves, tank, switches all that but the mounting plates for the bags might be different from year to year you might need to buy new mounting bag plates call art and see what they say. but if you can i say hell ya i lalways wanted to bag a mustang! [patriot]

im running them on my fox vert. im preety sure when i bought the kit that it was for 87-04. the only thing that could be dif would be the cup brackets but atleast on my kit its preety universal. if they are airstruts though it may be different. if they are the wrong brackets you can buy them separatly for like 200 bux

mines on blocks right now otherwise id snap a pick. im probably as low as you can possibly go in the back without swapping to irs and the rear ground effect is still about 5" off the ground. the rear tire tucks about 1-2 inches below the top of the wheel. my front will lay on the ground once i get my 2" drop spindles installed. with it currently layed out its impossible to get a jack under it without atleast driving up a couple blocks. when its parked next to other mustangs its preety obvious its bagged but next to other bagged trux or even just lowered rice it doesnt look that low.

i dont have any pics of the airbag install either i wrecked my car right after i put the 04 irs in it. i didnt even get to put the bags in the rear. but the front laid out alright it tucked part of a pony wheel and i could still drive down the road. i did leave the rear springs out during the irs install and saw that when laid out the actual spot where the control arm bolts up to hits the ground before anything else (not very safe). and i wasnt sure if the cv axles were binding up. but it looked cool having the rear tires camber in when laid out.
