Hey guys I was watching tv last night and Fast and Loud was on and they put an air ride in one of there builds. Has anyone put one of these in a 05 stang. If so how much did install runs and what do you like and dislike about it? Any input helps guys thanks

 

I am sure there is more than one company that makes a specific kit for the Mustang. Pricing will depend on compressor size, tank capacity and the control unit you get. Install wise, from friends of mine that have installed them, is not too bad. Drilling holes in the trunk pan kinda sucks because of the permanent factor involved. But if you have ever done a set of springs (shock and strut removal) then you can install these yourself. Keep in mind that the placement of the hoses will be very important. You definitely don't want a hose close to exhaust or anything that could cause failure. Being stuck on the side of the road with a broken hose or a failed bag is a major fear. Personally I don't think they are worth the hassle. I know that coil overs don't give the immediate satisfaction of slamming it but they are more safe and dependable. IMHO
Hope this was somewhat helpful.

Air Lift Performance

 

Your overhead will increase greatly - the air bags last about as long as a set of tires and will need to be replaced as such. The electronics / compressor / relays will eventually fail and will either slam your ride, lift it it the air (continuously running) or leave the front/back in the air if they fail to release - depending on how they're linked.

Don't get me wrong, the ride is great and it's a big cool factor to have your ride go up and down, but looking back it wasn't worth the hassle - which is why I won't get another Lincoln anytime soon., if ever.
