ALKO Chassis now able to have air suspension

Air Bags, European Cars, Latest News, Minibus, Motor Homes, Motorhome

We have often been asked about the ALKO Chassis which forms the basis of so many Motor Homes, and is in such desperate need of air assistance from new in most cases. In the past the questions of identification, and the unusual torsion bar set-up have made things difficult, but we have a lot of experience on Citroen, Peugeot and Renault car conversions which also have torsion bars on the rear end.

We are now able to offer conversions for many of the ALKO Chassis, which can be fitted if required. Fitting time is around 3 times that of the conventional kits, but the difference made to the ride, handling, and general comfort on the vehicle makes it all worth while.

If you want to enjoy your Motorhome without worrying about getting on ferries, getting into camp site, or just suffering ona  long run then please call as an air assistance kit could be just what you need.

350Z Air Suspension Kit

We are pleased to announce a dedicated fit bolt on air suspension conversion for the Nissan 350z. This superb kit requires 4 holes to be drilled on each side at the rear , and 4 on each side at the front. Other than that all fitting work is with normal spanners, and sockets and no fabrication is required (unlike US import kits).

Using Quality Quantum sport bags the handling remains great, Ride is very good (especially on low profile rims), and the car can be lifted to clear speed ramps or steep drives.

This superb and easy to fit kit for the Mercedes and VW improves the manners of these vehicles, as well as providing additional support for the load or conversion. With prices from just £595 they are excellent value. They fit both Vans and Minibuses, and improves handling and ride.
We offer many similar air suspension kits, which are simple to fit with standard tools and little knowledge of air suspension. We also offer universal leaf spring kits for applications not covered by the ready made range.

Lower cost Classic Mini air suspension under development.

Air Bags, Classic Mini, European Cars, Latest News, Vans

I am pleased to say that we are in final testing of a new design of higher spec, lower cost, and lower weight air suspension for the Classic Mini.

The Mini is crying out for air - the bouncy ride of the rather crude rubber cones on the original unmodified cars, can be improved by fitting coil spring conversions, but only at the expense of ride quality. Air gives the great handling of the coil spring set-up, a smooth ride that Mini owners have always dreamt of, and oh - it can be adjusted in a  few seconds!

No need to get your hand dirty, under the car adjusting your adjustrides - just press the dash mounted switch and you have any setting you want.

The new design will be pictured on here soon, and features a lighter smaller install with the same great quality of ride that only air can achieve.

Dimension chart added

I often get calls asking for bags of varying sizes, and when I am doing an install I have my own reference chart that I use to decide the best bag for the application.

I have added that chart onto the site, so if you are doing a unique install it is easy to see the best bag for your purpose.

Motorhome and Van Air Suspension

Latest News, Motor Homes, Vans

We are starting to get a number of enquiries for Motorhome suspension - whilst there really is no reason that we cannot supply, and or fit these kits it is not our core business.

We mainly do air for modified cars, and for a limited range of vans. We can supply air suspension for van derived Motor Homes including Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Hyandai, Iveco, Mazda, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel Peugeot, Toyota, and Volkwagen.

Van (and van derived Motor Home) air suspension kits tend to vary between £500 and £600 for the basic bag and bracket kit, for the rear. Vans and MotorHomes rarely need the front doing, and don’t always use on-board air supply that most of our other vehicles use, although both are available as extra cost options (from £600). Fitting costs vary depending upon vehicle and spec. required. Please ask for a quote.

We can supply and/or install air suspension for any Car, Van, Motorhome or SUV, and some custom motorcycles.

Prices Stabilise

BMW MINI, Classic Mini, European Cars, Golf, Latest News, US Cars, VW, Vans

Following my post of 1st November regarding the deteriorating price of the Pound against both the Dollar and Euro these have for the moment stabilised, although they show no sign of returning to original levels.

This does mean that its a little easier to deal with, although clearly prices are well up on those charged about 12 months ago despite a slimmer margin.

Prices for all products and installs are still being held for short periods only and subject to change should the exchange rates change rapidly once more.

I suppose that we had become used to the stability in the markets which had seen very little change in many years against either the Euro of US Dollar. Many companies will no longer be able to hold prices for long, and will have to keep a watchful eye on the rates.

Because of this the prices on the site will be very limited. If you have a specific requiremnt then please contact us and we will do our best to give you the very latest prices at the time of your call or email, or for a guide accuarate at start of February 2009 please click here.
