Almost every day I am approached by someone wanting to replace a worn out airbag. Usual life expectancy is probably greater than a metal coil or leaf spring at about 5-10 years with negligible deterioration is ride quality – its the air that supports the vehicle and not the rubber! Metal springs are softer after only a few years.
If you are replacing an existing spring then our end caps are aluminium to resist rust, and have multiple fittings to assist if you are upgrading from Firestone, Dunlop or other old style airbags. Please email pictures and dimensions if you need advice – its rarely as simple as a part number when replacing airbags.
We have just added pictures of the Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Jumper van kits. These kits fit vans, minibuses and motorhome derived from the vans. For more information please visit the relevant page.

We have exciting news on the Classic Mini kit front. We have been busy redeveloping our air suspension kit for the Classic Rover/Austin Mini and hope to have the new kits available and in stock for the start to middle of September. Although we have been producing air suspension kits for the mini since 2007 they required very expensive billet front dampers.
We are always receiving inquiries from clients wanting the cult car that is the VW Caddy converted to air. For some time we have wanted to develop a kit. To help the VW community get on air we would be happy to heavily subsidise an install on a road legal road going Caddy.
We are able to offer free of charge 1 day fitting for the next client who is able to drop their W639 off for rear end air suspension. This kit can be seen on the relevant page and performs excellently, however we need more and better pictures for our gallery and video instructions.
