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.

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.

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.

After 12 months development, and testing (including lots of road miles) our new Classic Mini air suspension kit is almost ready to be launched.

If you are interested in these kits, or special introductory prices on installs then please email and we will keep you up to date with the latest developments and news.

Kit prices are yet to be finalised, but it is likley that they will be from around £1250 for a standard kit up to £2500 for the top of the league show kits which lurch and drop for the most impressive modification you can make for your Mini. Read the rest…

Like most air suspension specialists we import many of the parts we sell. Most of these transactions are conducted in USD, and Euro. The United Stated Dollar was worth over £2 last year. It now only worth less than £1.40.

When you add into the equasion 23% import duty/vat and further tax on the freight charges (even though they are paid in USD to a US company!!!) plus the increases in prices from the suppliers then the net result is that the cost to us of the parts we buy has increased 34.4%!!!

Since that is more than our profit margin it has forced us to increase prices in line with the increased costs.

Please phone for the most up to date prices, which are currently being quoted on an individual customer by customer basis, and held suject to exchange rate fluctuations.
