blanchy Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I need to do a project for college this year and I plan to do something to my 1l lupo so I was thinking about installing air ride.I would need to do it pretty cheap so what would be a realistic price for all the parts that I would need?Would I be better getting all new parts or sourcing them second hand?Is it cheaper to get it in a kit or separately?Any help would be greatCheersDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt123roll Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Second hand for a kit you're looking at at least £1500 if you want new double that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thing is, what's your college course in? Fitting air ride is not the hardest thing in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanchy Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Its automotive technology and management so it doesnt need to be the hardest thing to fit but Ill need to record everything I do and show advantages and disadvantages compared to standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Its automotive technology and management so it doesnt need to be the hardest thing to fit but Ill need to record everything I do and show advantages and disadvantages compared to standardIs there actually an aim, as to be perfect honest air ride as like for like against a decent standard set up doesn't offer any real major advantages. Now of course if your aims change to say an aesthetic value then there is some big thing to compare for advantages and disadvantages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanchy Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I dont think there really is an aim we just need to do some practical project to show we have some technical knowledge.It looks like air ride will be too expensive so I might just upgrade some of the electrics in the car instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
