Full 80 series air bag conversion

[andy205wrc]

I have searched the threads but unable to find if anyone as done a full air bag conversion n their 80 series yet?
I mean junking the coils all together, running 4 air bags and electronic height sensors.
Here in Australia’Boss’ suspension sell the components.
Wondering if anyone ever tried it before I add it to the ‘wish’ list….

why

Here in Aus we get a lot of dirt road that are ‘washboarded’, undulating road for kms and kms.
The airbag system will make it more comfortable 🤷‍♂️

and there is always the question, Why not?
If it’s not been tried before, how do you know it can’t be better 🤷‍♂️

Reach out to airbagman in AU. The rears will be easy and the fronts a bit of a clearance issue the last time I talked to them. Most 80 owners want to keep it simple so not a big market out there. A few here have gone full air so search and you will find some info but not much, Caster and road manners at higher speed will be the biggest thing to watch for and dial in outside spring rates(not a lot of options here).
For the pressure or height sensors, there are many options out there but not alot if any tied to the 80.
