Description
Full air suspension kit for the Mercedes Benz W124 E class. this kit fits Estate Wagon, Coupe, Convertible and Saloon. It runs low, handles and rides well and is relatively simple to install. Although mostly bolt-on this conversion does require a small bit of chassis clearance work on the front to ensure the air spring does not foul on the chassis.
The rear end kit is ideal for towing or for defective or expensive SLS. The SLS would have to be deleted and standard dampers purchased but the kit then gives levelling balancing and a low stance if required.
Options
Car kits can be supplied with or without air management, although going without isn’t advisable if you have air on all four corners of your vehicle.
Air management allows you to get the very best from your kit at all times. It allows the ride height to be adjusted for road, weather and load conditions, while also giving you a street-skimming stance when the time is right.
We have four main management options for cars at AirRide. Read on to find out more:
No compressor, no tank
You can have a car kit with no air management system, but this is not recommended. With this option you will receive the air bags, brackets and struts required for a basic air suspension system, but no compressor or tank, as without some form of control system the compressor and tank would not be able to function correctly.
Manual Paddle Control (MPC)
MPC is controlled by four buttons, one for each air bag. These buttons act like electric-window switches, meaning you can either raise or lower the amount of pressure in each air bag by pressing up and down on each switch. The switches will normally fit somewhere on your dashboard.
MPC comes with an aluminium, 100% duty cycle compressor with up to 200 PSI and an air tank, so you can adjust your ride height whenever you wish (as long as it’s safe). It also comes with twin gauges and a tank gauge.
Solenoid control kit
Solenoid kits are controlled in the same way as an MPC kit, with four electric window-style buttons. However, solenoids act much faster than manual controls.
You can get either standard or advanced solenoids from AirRide. Advanced solenoids run much faster than the standard ones and can be installed a lot easier, as the come in blocks of two, rather than one.
Our solenoid kit comes with a 100% duty cycle compressor and tank for instant adjustment, as well as twin gauges and a tank gauge.
Digital computer system
The Air Lift 3P computer system electronically controls the amount of pressure in each air bag. This can be controlled either with a wired controller or a phone app. You can also set up to five pre-set heights, meaning you can slam or raise your car with just a single touch. The computer will also automatically alter your height to allow for road conditions. This is also the easiest system to install, meaning you’ll save money on installation, as compared to the MPC kit or solenoid kits.
The computer system also comes with an aluminium 100% duty cycle compressor with up to 200 PSI and an air tank, allowing for constant adjustment.
